My NGO takes place in a future where AI robots (or Androids) exist normally like us humans do and can think, feel, and communicate to the extent that we can't tell them apart. The NGO I made for my presentation goes by the name of D.E.M, and it stands for Define and Equalize Machines. I took the abbreviations "D.E.M" from Deus ex machina, which is a Latin calque from Greek and means 'God from the machine'. Although a bit different from the original definition, the word is often used to represent a God of machines or technology. The main goal of this NGO is to bestow human rights to AI robots. I believe that AI should get its rights gradually like humans did but in a different way. That would be considering its individual functions as its uses develop. That way, we account for both the diversity of AI and its specific capabilities; we can avoid giving rights that are unsuited for some AI, like a right to family life for Siri or Alexa.

All good and interesting questions. I especially like the question about whether AI should have human rights. Your questions are well balanced because almost half of them deal with advantages of AI and others deal with worst case scenarios or other potentially unpleasant consequences of AI.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the limited time that we have, I would give priority to trying to answer the questions that have more of a connection to the kind of NGO you're leaning toward creating. For example, if you want to educate people about the advantages of AI, you can concentrate more on jobs developed by AI and benefits for our day to day life. If you want to inform people about its disadvantages, you'll concentrate more on the dangerous robots, the coming "singularity," and possible invasions of privacy.
