‘Smart technology’Als technologie voor je denkt,

vertellen de programmeurs je dan wat je moet denken?

Huisrobots

Real Humans

Universal Basic Income

• Stops poverty and bureaucracy• No need for control-systems that invade our privacy• Level playing field on labour market• Simulates entrepreneurship and creativity

Experiments More education More entrepreneurship More useful work Less health problems

Machine Ethics

Machines are becoming more autonomous

Machines and algorithms increasingly influence our lives

We should manage that machines do not harm us

or threaten our autonomy


Moral reasoning system

We developed moral reasoning system that balances between several moral goals


Autonomy

16

Results:

Able to simulate judge decisions about:

•Assertive outreach

•Judicial coercion after self-binding declaration


Cars that make ethical decisions


Free sharing of information, art and culture

Evidence-based policy with long-term vision

Stimulate self-determination, but keep rights

Trust civilians vs Distrust ‘power'

Enthusiastic about tech, but alert on risks

Tech to empower people; not to repress

Basic principles PPNL


Using tech for good:Improving autonomy


Local vs Centralized data


Who will control ‘smart’ cars?


Who will control ‘smart’ tech?

Hackers? Viruses? Terrorists?

Companies thatactually own yourdevices?

The AI that tells youwhat to do?

Or will they control themselves?


Monopolization


The bigger the company

-> Bigger power concentration

-> Bigger chance that this company will use its power in malicious ways


The government won’t protect your privacy


Mass surveillance: for one target, tens of thousands are spied on

Sharing info with dubious regimes

Keeping our devices insecure to hack us


Techno-progressivism / Commons

Democratize the way technologies are built

Costs, risks, and benefits of tech are equally shared

Equal access to technologies

Develop tech in a way that promotes happiness

Need to stop corporate surveillance

Set good standards for Privacy by Design / Data-ownership

Regulate Big Business vs

More freedom for small startups / cooperatives


Will superintelligent AI become a new superpower?

What is intelligence, anyway?

Is AI really an immortal monkey? And is it relevant?


What is intelligence, anyway?

Is AI really an immortal monkey? And is it relevant?

What makes us human?

AI → Human enhancement

→ Cyborgs

How are we going to live together with our newlycreated species?


Why we should have mandatory Machine Ethics



Paperclip machine

Why every AIshould have Machine Ethics

Machine Ethics = AI-Safety

Make sure the intelligence explosion benefits us

Why every AIshould be open-soure

Algorithms and robots are increasingly influencing our lives

Who will control the programmers?

Good ideas are made to be copied:

Creating extra value with no extra costs

e-Democracy

• Easily participate in democratic process

• Vote on ideas; not on parties or persons

• Power of Ideas replace the idea of power


• Everybody can add ideas

• Everybody can add arguments

• Best ideas and arguments automatically come up

How does it work?


• Don’t vote once every few years, but always adjust vote

• Representation can differ per subject

• Representation is voluntary

• Makes representation personal; implies trust

Representation in an e-Democracy

Could there be a symbiosis between AI and e-democracy?
