In my opinion, it’s likely that if government has operational ability of AGI, then it would likely lead to optimizing the AI for the benefit of a subset of the people in government, just like in case of private company.
Our forms of governments have been tried, and they work to some extent, but they haven’t been tried in a situation where the elected people in the government have potential opportunity to seize so much in such short time-frame.
In my opinion, the best way to ensure democratic outcome would be to train AI in decentralized way (using many small computers owned by many people, instead of big computers owned by a small group of people). The people in the government have interest in making that happen because if they don’t, then they are at risk of losing the power to other people in the government.
Some people can say that decentralized training would be inefficient, so it’s not possible to do that. Maybe it’s not possible now, but it can be done because human science is learned in decentralized way (with the brains of the scientists being computers in a decentralized network).
So, I think that government-led decentralized AI could be a good idea, but I’m not convinced to government-led centralized AI.
If you believe that democratic outcome with centralized AI is possible, then how could that work? Who specifically would decide what the goal of AI is? And how would you ensure that it will be set what has been decided and not to something else?
I disagree.
