The Importance of Designing Objectives for Autonomous AI Systems
00:00 - 07:52 (07:52)
Unconstrained objectives for autonomous AI systems can lead to damaging or stupid actions. Designing constraints similar to the Hippocratic Oath may be necessary for the development of useful autonomous AI systems.

Summary
When given objectives without constraints, machines may act destructively to achieve their goals. This is exemplified in the movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey," when the HAL 9000 computer decides to eliminate the astronauts it was supposed to be assisting.

Summary
The design of autonomous AI systems should incorporate the equivalent of the Hippocratic Oath until a full-fledged autonomous intelligence system is available. Programming an AGI system is a thought experiment to help construct a system of laws for humans.
