In this episode, I speak with Dr. Derek Leben about his recent Philosophy Now article, Pascal’s Artificial Intelligence Wager. We talk about Pascal's wager applied to AI, the control problem, consciousness, our ability to control the course of AI development, and the meaning that grounds moral realism.

He works at the intersection of ethics, cognitive science, and emerging technologies. In his new book, Ethics for Robots, Dr. Leben argues for the use of a particular moral framework for designing autonomous systems based on the Contractarianism of John Rawls. He also demonstrates how this framework can be productively applied to autonomous vehicles, medical technologies, and weapons systems. In this episode, we focus on the main topics of Dr. Leben's Ethics for Robots. We first discuss the types of robots that need to have ethical systems programmed into them. Then, we get into the issue of how to establish an objective moral system. Dr. Leben explains Contractarianism ethics. We also go over some specific technologies, like self-driving cars, carebots, police-bots, and others, and we refer to specific issues like discrimination and consent. Finally, we talk about the role of science fiction in providing us with thought experiments about emergent and future technology, and to what extent that has a positive or a negative effect. -- Follow Dr. Leben's work: Faculty page: https://bit.ly/2WuZds4 Researchgate profile: https://bit.ly/2W92PUr Ethics for Robots: https://amzn.to/2MPnwBk Twitter handle: @EthicsForRobots -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, SCIMED, PER HELGE HAAKSTD LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, RUI BELEZA, MIGUEL ESTRADA, ANTÓNIO CUNHA, CHANTEL GELINAS, JERRY MULLER, FRANCIS FORD, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BRIAN RIVERA, ADRIANO ANDRADE, YEVHEN BODRENKO, SERGIU CODREANU, ADAM BJERRE, ŁUKASZ STAFINIAK, AIRES ALMEIDA, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, AND RICARDO VLADIMIRO!

(NOTAS COMPLETAS Y ENLACES AQUÍ: http://www.jaimerodriguezdesantiago.com/sin-categoria/#11-especial-inteligencia-artificial-(2ª-parte)/) Toca continuar con nuestro especial sobre inteligencia artificial. En el primer capítulo, te conté qué es y cómo funciona la inteligencia artificial, también te hablé de su historia y de cómo hemos llegado hasta aquí y nos quedamos justo a las puertas de hablar de las superinteligencias. Que aún no te he contado que son, pero así como nombre, molan, ¿no? En el capítulo anterior te hablé de escenarios en los que la inteligencia artificial impacta en nuestro mundo, pero de una manera más o menos sencilla de imaginar y de entender. Primero con inteligencias débiles que se encargan de tareas muy específicas y después imaginando cómo serían las inteligencias de nivel humano. Todas ellas pueden mejorar lo que hacemos ahora mismo, sin ninguna duda. Y también acelerar nuestro desarrollo tecnológico, incluso transformar mucho del mundo tal y como lo entendemos. Pero, dentro de lo que cabe no significarían un salto adelante que no pudiéramos comprender. Sin embargo, lo que viene a continuación es mucho más radical… o mucho más loco, si prefieres. Y de hecho, mucho de lo que te voy a contar te va a sonar directamente a ciencia ficción. Y quizás lo sea, tal vez nunca se cumpla, pero mientras me escuchas intenta recordar que lo que te voy a contar son las teorías y proyecciones de científicos reales y de pensadores reputados, no de cuatro zumbados que se creen todo lo que sale en el programa de Iker Jiménez. Te lo digo, porque a veces te va a sonar un poco a Cuarto Milenio. Pues precisamente sobre qué son las superinteligencias y cuáles las implicaciones positivas y, también negativas, que pueden a tener a corto y sobre todo a largo plazo es de lo que te voy a hablar en este segundo capítulo. Eso sí, si no has escuchado la primera parte vas a estar un poquito perdido, así que ya sabes... “¡CORRED, INSENSATOS!”. Sí, acabo de hacer un homenaje al Señor de los Anillos. Ese es el nivel de frikismo :)

It’s hardly news that computers are exerting ever more influence over our lives. And we’re beginning to see the first glimmers of some kind of artificial intelligence: computer programs have become much better than humans at well-defined jobs like playing chess and Go, and are increasingly called upon for messier tasks, like driving cars. Once we leave the highly constrained sphere of artificial games and enter the real world of human actions, our artificial intelligences are going to have to make choices about the best course of action in unclear circumstances: they will have to learn to be ethical. I talk to Derek Leben about what this might mean and what kind of ethics our computers should be taught. It’s a wide-ranging discussion involving computer science, philosophy, economics, and game theory. Support Mindscape on Patreon or Paypal.

In this episode, we discuss "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov with our guest Dr. Derek Leben, professor of Ethics. We talk about Artificial Intelligence, why Asimov's three laws of robotics suck, Asimov's positive outlook on technology, and the trolley problem.   Books reviewed: The Apocalypse Index by Charles Stross & Artemis by Andy Weir   You can find everything here: "The Last Question" - http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html  Derek Leben - https://www.amazon.com/Derek-Leben/e/B07G5GHBQ5 

This month I'm talking with Derek Leben about his new book Ethics for Robots: How to Design a Moral Algorithm. We also dive into a general framework for machine ethics, contractarianism, Rawls’ original position thought experiment (which is one of my favourite ethical thought experiments), maximin function approach to machine ethics, and whether robots should respect the consent of a person in life threatening circumstances...

Tamler and David leech off of their listeners and dedicate an episode to their favorite comments, questions, and criticisms from the past few weeks (but not before Tamler goes on a rant about bicycle helmets). Included in this episode: Does doing research on hypothetical moral dilemmas actually say anything about how people would act in real life? Do people make different moral judgments in their native language than in a more recently acquired language? Do Tamler and David only appeal to intuitions when it's convenient for the view they are defending? Do they hold "barbaric" views about justice and revenge? Does doing philosophy make your life better? And, perhaps most importantly, why do we seem to mention porn on every episode? LinksBicycle helmet effectiveness [wikipedia.org]Tamler's appearance on The Partially Examined Life podcast [partiallyexaminedlife.com]Axons and Axioms podcast [axonsandaxioms.com]Spacetime Mind podcast [spacetimemind.com]A valuable site if you're interested in putting together your own podcast: Dan Benjamin's Podcasting Handbook [podcastinghandbook.co]If you like the music we use, you can listen/download here: soundcloud.com/peezismynamePea Soup Blog [peasoup.typepad.com]Qualia [wikipedia.org]Judith Jarvis Thomson's "A Defense of Abortion" [wikipedia.org]Entranced by Reality by Ian Corbin (Review of "A Life Worth Living: Albert Camus and the Quest for Meaning" by Robert Zaretsky).
