AI Safety: Teaching Machines Ethics Through Debate?
Two years ago, Devin Gonier, TEDx speaker and CTO at Wageup, joined the show to talk about how AI can be taught morality and ethics by replicating the way humans learn ethics as kids. Devin has now founded a new company, DebaterHub, hoping to help secure AI safety through another process humans use to learn ethics: debate. He also has a Master’s degree in machine learning and a double major in philosophy and religion. In today’s episode, Devin provides an overview of the methods and research on AI safety that exist as of today, along with their respective pros and cons. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: Three methods to teach AI morality and ethics (including the method OpenAI used) How debate could be used to teach ethics to machines How we can think of consciousness as a gradient in the AI space Tune in to learn more! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/maria-selting/message
