Welcome to the The Future of AGI workshop at
AGI-09

If AGI follows Moore's Law

• Would the cost of a human's worth of intellectual
  work fall by 40 every year?
• Wouldn't the number of AI's tend to increase
  exponentially?
• Wouldn't this displace us economically?

If I built a robot to do my work ...

• ... I'd want it to do my work!
• ... so I wouldn't have to!
• Why shouldn't humanity
• as a whole be in just that
• enviable position?

4
If AI gets to be smarter than us

• Wouldn't they just take over?

5
If AI's are smarter than us

• Shouldn't they be in charge?

6
If we can build AI smarter than us

• Why not one morally better?
• As Ron Arkin quipped, It's a low bar.
• If it were possible, wouldn't we have a moral
  duty to do it?

What about

• The rights of the robots themselves?
• Are we re-introducing slavery?
• Should they vote (remember, they'll outnumber us
  fairly soon)?
• Sue the robot or the manufacturer?
• Self-driving cars...
• Current public perception
• Terminator
• Forbin Project
• I Robot (movie)?
