I don’t understand this idea completely myself but it’s an evolved form of technocracy with autonomous systems, suggest me some articles to read up on because in the field of politics I am quite illiterate. So it goes like this:
- Multiple impenetrable, isolated AI expert systems that make rule based decisions (unlike black boxes, eg. LLMs).
- All contribute to a notion and the decision will be picked much like in a distributed system, for fairness and equality.
- Then humans are involved, but they too are educated, elected individuals and some clauses that stop them from gaming the system and corrupting it.
- These human representatives can either pick from list of decisions from AI systems or support the already given notion or drop it altogether. They can suggest notions and let AI render it but humans can’t create notions directly.
Benefits:
- Generally speaking, due to the way the system will be programmed, it won’t dominate or supress and most of the actions will be justified with a logic that puts human lives first and humans profit second.
- No wars will break out since, it’s not human greed that’s holding the power
- Defence against non-{systemized} states would be taken care by military and similar AI expert systems but the AI will never plan to expand or compromise a life of a human for offense
Cons:
- Security vulnerabilities can target the system and take down the government’s corner piece
- No direct representation of humans, only representation via votes on notions and suggestions to AI
- Might end up in AI Apocalypse situation or something I dont know
The thoughts are still new to me, so I typed them out before thinking on paper. Hence, I am taking suggestions for this system!
tl;dr is let AI rule us, because hard coded-rule based decision maker is better than a group of humans whose intents can always be masked and unclear.
I understand and I think your last paragraph is very poetic! And I agree with you partially, but I think in certain cases, it’s better to find the one general case the solution fits to and add the edge cases as it grows.
But putting the question of model selection aside, do you think this system would be practical, theoretically of course?
I agree like it as a sci-fi: the AI gods on the hill speak through messengers elect. It’s a greek gods and oracles situation.
However I must agree with what others said: humans will manipulate whom- and whatever to enforce their desires.
So the only way to make sure the machine can survive against that, is for them to be able to do the same. Problem being, they might be better at it.
that means I get the answer, the unfeasibility of the solution is not in itself, but rather in its deployment.
To get back out of the scifi, and into the sci: you might like to read these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_machine and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture_of_experts.
mixture of experts leads to no where and I know boltzmann brain but I can simply say, being a figment of someone’s imagination doesn’t decrease my pains and struggles, implying that my pain were the proof of my being, can be fictious but won’t change my reality
I’m sure you’re smart enough to figure out whats wrong with the mixture of experts url
:^)
is it the proof that no progress has been made or no information is public?
Neither, it’s a technique that’s in use (outside of the political context) and quite similar to what you talked about.
oh wait you mean something like alphazero or other alpha models which are expert systems baked into one model?
