‘Superintelligent Zombies' by @jttiehen and @AriTubert
Curious?

ALT "Superintelligent Zombies' by Justin Tiehen and Ariela Tubert", published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies, Volume 33, issue 7-8.
ALT It is hard to say with any certainty what the exact relationship is between intelligence and consciousness, and so hard to say whether systems that achieve artificial superintelligence (ASI) would be conscious. We are attracted to the view that they probably won’t be: they will be superintelligent zombies. This is because we find it plausible that there is a kind of negative correlation between intelligence and consciousness such that across all physically possible systems, those that are capable of at least human-level intelligence will tend not to be conscious, and furthermore, the very most intelligent of such systems are the least likely to be conscious.
nice story on the Regester Lecture that @jttiehen and I delivered last week and our work connecting the use of AI romantic companions to philosophical discussions on consciousness
If you fall for an AI model, will it love you back? Tacoma experts weigh in thenewstribune.com/news/loca…
looking forward to giving a talk “Griefbots: Memory, Imagination, and Artificial Intelligence” tomorrow during Homecoming and Family Weekend

Listen to @AriTubert and I discuss our views of “existentialist risk” and AI value alignment with Reid Blackman on his Ethical Machines podcast: ethicalmachinespodcast.com/e…

A new paper by @AriTubert and me in Phil Studies on AI safety: “Existentialist Risk and Value Misalignment.”
The main idea is that a capacity for misaligning your own values across time is essential to human intelligence. But then…

PANEL TIME! Can AI be your friend? We're finding out now from Stone Addington (Humanities WA), @jttiehen & @AriTubert (both @univpugetsound), and @ShanenBoettcher (@AI21Labs)
check out our paper (w/ @jttiehen ) "artificial intelligence, value alignment, and moral revolutions" tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…
A new paper by @AriTubert and me in Inquiry on artificial intelligence, value alignment, and moral revolutions. The guiding idea is that there are limits to whether value alignment is a good thing. It can interfere with attempts to improve our own values. tandfonline.com/eprint/YGUSX…

Giving people the ability to opt out of recommender algorithms is a great step toward #CognitiveLiberty. But there’s a lot more we need to do. See what I recommend in @WIRED. wired.com/story/tiktok-has-s…
My essay “Existential Choices and Practical Reason” is now available at Inquiry tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1…
glad the College Board is not budging… it’s nonsense for legislatures to try to determine the details of curriculum
The state’s decision to bar the inclusion of lessons on gender identity and sexuality prompts the @CollegeBoard to withdraw recognition of the course. bit.ly/3OHJfco
still thinking about the interesting discussion by @GreggDCaruso this morning at #PacificAPA about AI responsibility gaps… if one is a hard incompatibilist then there are no gaps, given that nobody is really responsible… though perhaps there may still be accountability gaps?
third, the one on Andreou’s Choosing Well: The Good, The Bad, and the Trivial… great discussion here too, Bratman said maybe we can add plans to instrumental rationality; Andreou replied that plans are judged by relational and categorial rationality so can’t be part of it
second, the session on Kolodny’s The Pecking Order… lots of interest here as well… especially the exchange around how the concern with not being inferior to others can ground a number of norms, including legal norms
