The Future of AI

Agree with many of the points. However one at the root of it all seems easily definable - if we only want.

> we can’t agree on a shared ethical framework among ourselves

The Golden Rule: the principle of treating others as you would like to be treated yourself. It is a fundamental ethical guideline found in many religions and philosophies throughout history so there is already a huge consensus across time and cultures around it.

I never found anyone successfully argue against it.

PS: the sociopath argument is not valid, since it's just an outlier. Every rule has it's exceptions that need to be kept in check. Even though sometimes I think maybe the state of the world attests to the fact that the majority of us didn't successfully keep the sociopathic outliers in check.

>How do we know which information was ground truth?

No One knows that´s the point. Is truth a constant or a personal definition! From the begining of times to now, no One knows.

Don´t forget, 8 billion people wake up every morning never questioning why are they here, why are they born? And they continue life like that is normal. Start there then you understand that "AI" or how I call it "Collective Organized Concentrated Information" it may finally help us to unswer some fundamental questions.

> I never found anyone successfully argue against it.

I think what you mean is you've never found a rule you personally prefer more, based purely on vibes. Which is all moral knowledge can ever be.

It's easy to argue against the golden rule anyway, from many angles, depending on your first principles.

The simplest is: How I would like to be treated is not necessarily how they would like to be treated.

I have met some people in my lifetime, never heard any questioning that, (even being high LOL). I don´t see anyone in social media asking that neither. Maybe we live in parallel worlds.

I'm not sure social media is a very good measure, there are many reasons that wondering aloud about this specific topic isn't really incentivized there.

I'm not sure I've ever met anyone I would assume has not considered the basic questions of our existence. Unless they were severely mentally disabled, or something like that.

For a more public measure I suppose you could look at religion, which seems to be a fundamental attempt at answering those questions. Most people are religious or have some kind of religious belief.
