A problem is that entitles want to patent both the disease and the cure. For example, when central banks fund both sides of a war with the goal of expansion and perpetuation... Or say when governments issue too many laws where citizens are simultaneously following and breaking the law meant as a means of control… or when religions profit from both the commitance and repentance of sin.
Or when psychological normality and illness are defined to excessively overlap benefitting particular industries. With AGI it may be prudent to verify that patents aren’t inadvertently enforcing stupidity, from a societal perspective irrespective of a single business’s intentions. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tcf32de6c8dccb6d1-M7c226a4368518dfcc52ad15c Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
