For instance, if the year is 2080, in theory, that would be around TL 10 in general. So let's pick a computer system, what its primary purpose is, fill in the data such as cost, weight, location (mobile or immobile) etc. Then we should discuss the actual AI or Mind Emulation residing on the system and why it is there, etc. Thoughts? |

Re: [Discussion] Implications of an AI society
Realistically, the solution is to cap both human and AI IQ, such that, at the same complexity, the max IQ of an AI is the same as the max IQ of a ghost. However, as long as we're stuck with humans allowing uncapped IQ, it doesn't make sense for AIs to be capped.

Re: [Discussion] Implications of an AI society
Human IQ is soft-capped at 20, isn't it?
But also, think about the different paths to getting a high IQ. For a human, it involves, say, 30 years of life experience and education. If you want an AI to have such a high IQ, you'd have to mimic that or program it somehow, which means it's not going to be cheap or easy to do.

The brain is involved too; I personally know people with 60 years of life experience I'd be loathe to trust doing their own taxes using a manual. And adversarial/combinatorial neural net programming (assuming a good sim of the real world with at least a few pre-existing other AIs) can give a thousand years of experience in a few weeks.

A software engineer hits upon the idea that the AI can self improve beyond its normal constraints, and so runs 1000 instances of the AI in a simulated environment so they can self improve (1000 instances of AI would require Complexity 9, and let's say 1000 simulations for each of them is also Complexity 9. Maybe they interact for practice.). He will allow this to run for three months, where upon he will test whether the AIs have actually shown any meaningful improvement over the other. Come three months later, at least a few of them are showing some kind of improvement (perhaps some have what GURPS would call Talent or higher IQ). |

Re: [Discussion] Implications of an AI society
I'd assume most A.I's learn in a similar way to us. As in they need interactions with other intelligences and the environment. They can't drastically self improve by just sitting in a "bare room" thinking.

Re: [Discussion] Implications of an AI society
For those interested, I opened up a new thread regarding the rules as written in GURPS ULTRA-TECH as relates to AIs.
The new twist has to do with the Legality class of an AI whose IQ falls between any given range. The reason I posted that to a new thread instead of this one, is to open up a sort of "post playtest" kind of environment where those things in the rules cause you (the reader of GURPS ULTRA-TECH) to say "why wasn't this hashed out in playtest in the first place?" without necessarily saying "This should have been play tested further" Gotta be polite ya know? In any event, reproduced here... Quote:

Which brings up another issue. Throughout the years of reading books and watching movies, the joke has been that many of the alien intelligences are simply humans in rubber suits. How does one describe an alien intelligence that isn't a human in a rubber suit so to speak? |
