OK - that's a good issue to focus on then.
In an earlier post Ben described three ways that ethical systems could
be facilitated:
A) "Explicit programming-in of ethical principles" (EPIP)
B) "Explicit programming-in of methods specially made for the learning
of ethics through experience and teaching"
C) "Acquisition of ethics through experience and teaching, through
generic AI methods"
It seems to me that (A) and (B) have immediate relevance to the
research needed for the development of a friendly AGI.
And Kevin has proposed the development of machinery for a big red
button which is another tangible issue.
So maybe we should take up your point and try to make the ethics
discussion deliberately focussed on being relevant to the research and
trial development issues.
Would you be prepared to help us focus the discussion in this way?
Cheers, Philip
