Executive summary: Developing AI capabilities that foster interconnected knowledge across domains is likely beneficial overall, as it supports a sustainable civilization aligned with the flourishing of all moral patients.
Key points:
Not all general AI capabilities are equally harmful; some may help create “good” knowledge that moves civilization towards sustainability.
“Good” knowledge in a sustainable civilization must be interconnected with understanding of all moral patients’ wellbeing.
AI capabilities that promote knowledge interconnection (e.g. federated learning, semantic knowledge mining) are likely net beneficial.
Knowledge interconnection may reduce risks of industrial dehumanization by supporting complex “human economy” industries.
This view somewhat conflicts with the author’s previous “simplicity/acc manifesto” focused on real-world AI applications.
Uncertainty remains about these conclusions; further discussion is welcomed.
