Robots Learn to Trick People, Closer to Taking Over Planet

  • Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes.

But like a brain just works like that anyway, reacting to things. It's not really free will.
only if the computer can access true random numbers to add into the decision process. our brains can actually tap true randomness from quantum events (arguably the only true randomness in the universe) affecting the chemical process

I put the lol in philology
Even if an A.I. could access truly random numbers, that wouldn't make it an actual intelligence. The parameters of its function would include the random possibilities. (Just as in rolling a standard die, the range will always be 1 through 6.) Again, there is no more to fear from a weak A.I. designed to kill than there is to fear from a bomb designed for the same, except perhaps in differences of efficiency. Similarly, there is no more to fear from a weak A.I. designed to wash dishes than there is to fear from a dishwasher. Based on our current knowledge, an algorithm cannot create a true intelligence able to act outside its function parameters. If the article in question was the successful development of a synthetic neuron-based intelligence (a strong A.I.) and the synthetic intelligence was predisposed to deceive humans, then it would be a separate matter. Yet even then, the neuron based intelligence would be no more potentially malevolent than any neuron based—truly random—life form. That is to say, neither more dangerous, nor more frightening than man.
