I love it when the outline for a scientific paper reads like the opening to a Charles Stross novel . font in point is the newspaper publisher that computing gadget scientistBenjamin Kuipersposted the other 24-hour interval on arXiv :
An existing , ecologically - successful genus of collectively intelligent artificial creatures
People sometimes concern about the Singularity [ Vinge , 1993 ; Kurzweil , 2005 ] , or about the man being taken over by by artificial means levelheaded automaton . I believe the risks of these are very small . However , few people recognize that we already share our world with hokey tool that participate as intelligent agents in our social club : tummy . Our satellite is inhabited by two distinct kinds of level-headed existence — - individual humans and corporate entities — - whose natures and stake are nearly linked . To co - survive well , we demand to find ways to determine the rights and responsibilities of both individual humans and corporate entity , and to find ways to see that corporate entities behave as responsible member of companionship .
Kuipers study AI , so he knows one when he get word one . I ’m glad his outlook is so positive on our future relationships with bay window , but I ca n’t shake myself of the feeling that this is some sort of weird Singulatarian rejoinder to the Occupy movement .
