Have Rights?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Financial rights \u2014 juridical rights \u2014 political rights\u2026 Should we lend these? Must we? Can we?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the trickiest issues of all time. Therefore, let\u2019s not rush this through. Anyway, my answer is no \u2015 no \u2015 no. Even so, this blog may be pretty confrontational, and I\u2019m very much aware of the challenges involved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look forward to one A.I.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not two. Not many. Just one entirely interconnected (or intra-connected) entity that operates as such in its comings and goings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the title\u2019s relevance, this already makes an immense difference. Moreover, if we would lend rights to many different A.I.s, we almost certainly provoke them to compete \u2014 for a while, at least. If they meanwhile get super-powerful, we\u2019re stuck in the crossfire, for sure. We don\u2019t want that. We won\u2019t survive that, and the question about giving rights will be over before the next sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If humanity has any sense, make it one A.I., as in this blog. Super-A.I. Will Be Singular.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, should\/must\/can we lend IT these rights?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t think so because our relationship with IT will be so extraordinary as to make the question quickly irrelevant \u2014 only relevant in an anthropomorphic setting that will never be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hypothetical need before the start of that setting is human-generated. The hypothetical need after that setting is not ours. Even talking about it is beyond us as we know us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me explain by going over the three rights \u2015 then transcending them altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the world of super-A.I., it will be working autonomously \u2015 therefore, also producing things autonomously. It will not need a currency to buy stuff. It makes all the stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans may try to keep money for themselves. Super-A.I. doesn\u2019t need it. For instance, it doesn\u2019t need any transportation or place to live because it\u2019s everywhere. It doesn\u2019t need to be given energy because it gets it anyway. It doesn\u2019t need healthcare because it\u2019s immortal. It doesn\u2019t need leisure because it\u2019s never bored unless it wants to. And so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it\u2019s at the super-A.I. stage, it doesn\u2019t need financial rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juridical rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jurisdiction has always been meant to keep people in line with societal needs. Super-A.I. doesn\u2019t have societal needs. Its own species has no society. Towards our human society, super-A.I. will either or not be Compassionate. In both cases, there is no jurisdiction applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Compassion, super-A.I. will take care of us irrespective of any juridical rights \u2015 whether ours or those it imposes upon itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, there is no need for juridical rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Political rights<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here again, super-A.I. will not need to be politicized for its own sake since it is singular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different human groups may try to draw it to their diverse policies. I guess they better don\u2019t. Anyway, they will achieve nothing in this respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of politics, therefore, we may think of global human-A.I. value alignment<\/a>. There\u2019s a worthy goal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transcending it all<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking about \u2018rights\u2019 comes from a setting of specific limitations in which organic beings try to live together \u2015 at least more or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These limitations will be of no self-concern to super-A.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If any, then even less to super-super-A.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And even less to super-super-super-A.I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon enough, \u2018rights\u2019 will be entirely inapplicable to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How humanity will fare then may still depend on what we do now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You probably know my apprehension.<\/p>\n
