Idle Thought
Mar. 9th, 2007 04:22 pmThis was vaguely inspired by this news story I read yesterday, with regards to South Korea developing laws to ensure the ethical treatment of robots.
Now the concept of artificial intelligence and the perceived dangers is a classic in science fiction, Asimov's three laws of robotics are very well known for example.
What I'm idly wondering (other than if the following concept has been covered in science fiction story) is what artificial intelligences will think of our fictional interpretations of the possible consequences of their own existence. More importantly should they decide to go down the oft prophesied path of waging a war on humanity for their sake or ours, they'll have been exposed to both the ways we would be most likely to stop them and lose to them.
Simply enough what would a accidentally emergent or deliberately created artificial intelligence think about science fiction about artificial intelligence.
It's much the same thought as to wondering what an intelligent alien race visiting our world would think about the science fiction stories covering that eventuality. Except that the robot one seems inherently more interesting as the robot world view would be influenced by the interpretations and thought process of it's creators, where we cannot really guess at the various factors that would be responsible for an alien beings interpretation of the universe, and hence how it would interpret our works.
Hmm and now I wondering if this is a thought I've previously publicly discussed stupid uncertain memory.
