These are things it would be trained to learn. It would learn to read and could read biology textbooks and papers or things online, and it would also see pictures of people, brains, etc..
It really sounds like this sort of training is going to require it to be able to interpret English the way we interpret English (e.g. to read biology textbooks); if you’re going to rely on that I don’t see why you don’t want to rely on that ability when we are giving it instructions.
This could be an explicit output we train the AI to predict (possibly part of responses in language).
That… is ambitious, if you want to do this for every term that exists in laws. But I agree that if you did this, you could try to “translate” laws into code in a literal fashion. I’m fairly confident that this would still be pretty far from what you wanted, because laws aren’t meant to be literal, but I’m not going to try to argue that here.
(Also, it probably wouldn’t be computationally efficient—that “don’t kill a person” law, to be implemented literally in code, would require you to loop over all people, and make a prediction for each one: extremely expensive.)
I “named” a particular person in that sentence.
Ah, I see. In that case I take back my objection about butterfly effects.
