“Urgent research needed to tackle AI threats, says Google AI boss“

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0q3g0ln274o

In an exclusive interview at the AI Impact Summit in Delhi, Sir Demis Hassabis said the industry wanted “smart regulation” for “the real risks” posed by the tech.

Many tech leaders and politicians at the Summit have called for more global governance of AI, ahead of an expected joint statement as the event draws to a close.

Any technology that has the ability to manipulate for example facebook or google ads is one example. Certain bots I may have encountered like multiple SPAM emails or calls from data leaks.

Your time and cognitive load has value!

A manipulative bot is programmed for engagement for the following :

  1. time spent
    2. clicks
    3. emotional activation

A friendly bot is programmed for the following :

  1. user clarity
    2. emotional regulation
    3. increased autonomy after interaction

A few terms for identifying your friendly or not so friendly AI bot. from Author Falk E, Scholz C. in “Persuasion, Influence, and Value” (epub 2017)

Subjective value:

a person- and situation-specific estimate of choice value (c) from the weighted average of differently valued choice-relevant dimensions (d): SV(c) = Σweightd × valued

Persuasion:

changes in preferences or behaviors in information receivers conforming to active attempts by a communicator to encourage such changes

Social influence:

changes in preferences or behaviors resulting from passive observation of others’ actions, inferences about others’ perspectives, and broader social norms

Value-based decision making:

choice selection based on the extent to which each option is positively or negatively valued
