SUMMARY:AI and the Limits of Human Judgement by Adam Ford
DESCRIPTION:MORE MORAL THAN US?Why the question matters for alignment, moral progress, and long-term flourishing…\nOn some measurable moral tasks, today’s AI already looks competitive with humans, or better, and the alignment community is oddly quiet about it. But moral capability is not the same as moral motivation: a system can compute the right answer without being moved by it. Pulling apart knowledge, reasoning, judgement and motivation is what makes the question tractable, and what makes the honest answer uncomfortable. Caveats attached, in quantity.\nAlmost nobody working on AI alignment wants to say this out loud, at least not about current systems. So let’s say it: AI might already be more moral than us, in some measurable respects.Two questions fall straight out of that:\n>Why does it feel like a dangerous thing to claim?>And is human moral reasoning really a standard worth bragging about as an alignment target?\nRead more:https://www.meetup.com/science…/events/315382261/…\n\nYou can attend virtually via Zoom:https://zoom.us/j/95836417359…\nMeeting ID: 958 3641 7359Passcode: 704370\nPUBLIC TRANSPORT:Skeptics Café will be held in the Mahogany Room at The Stolberg Hotel, 197 Plenty Road Preston.
