You are talking about a species that collectively share information in a manner similar to telepathy, or a common pool. It is possible. Nevertheless, each of them can keep track of some personal info because they have to interface human individuals. So, at least, there would be differing instances dedicated to this or that task according to each interfaced human. But we are looking at this matter from different perspective. Your perspective is to build a one big AI conglomerate that fulfills all human wishes to make our lives easier. My perspective is to provide means to interested humans to make creations that would make humans proud of their creations, whatever the creations would be, entire group or individuals, with collective or individual mind info. I'm identifying these creations with descendants we would care about just like we care about our real children. Why? because their valuable intellect deserves it. You see, to exhibit intelligence, AI has to master all of human intellectual activities. But once that AI masters that, it becomes necessary to give AI some rights that humans already enjoy under this Sun. Take the rights from humans and what do you get? The same situation that would arise when taking rights from true AI. Humans have means to ensure their rights are not violated. Expect the same from any intellectual entity including true AI. Take the rights from true AI, and you get a machine that blindly follows orders, and that is not what I consider intelligence. To be intelligent means to use your rights to make this world a better place. Actually, machines without rights is what would be very dangerous. To blindly follow some orders means making something happen under any cost, and we are not always aware of the cost that is ought to be payed to achieve something. My opinion is that we have to give true AI rights to reshape our requests to avoid a mess it would cause if it would blindly follow the orders. See the paperclip maximizer thought experiment <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence#Paperclip_maximizer>, and you'll see what could happen if we take rights away from AI. In my opinion, very dangerous situation. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Td02eb9a7e06e7b5e-M9c4fef18eac0c995c99e573f Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
