"Man in the Machine" | VPRO Tegenlicht

The rapid development of artificial intelligence raises fear. Self-driving cars that kill their own passengers or smart speakers that take over the household. The problem with controlling artificial intelligence arises when a smart machine receives a command. Not because the machine is not working properly, but because we are very bad at describing what exactly we want.

Without anything like common sense, a super-smart machine can quickly misinterpret a simple command with catastrophic consequences. How do we ensure that these machines learn to understand who we are, what our human norms and values ​​are and thus contribute to a society as we envision it?

What should the world of artificial intelligence look like? In a society where intelligence leads to success, more intelligence leads to more success. And artificial intelligence is a powerful tool. While industry can finally cash in on their big data collections, scientists, civil society organizations and the European Union are scrambling to come up with ethical guidelines. The aim is to keep control of the far-reaching changes that await our society. Is artificial intelligence the ultimate test for humanity?
