Facebook Shut Down AI After It Invented Its Own Language --

Quote:

At Google, the team working on the Translate service discovered that the AI they programmed had silently written its own language to aid in translating sentences.

The Translate developers had added a neural network to the system, making it capable of translating between language pairs it had never been taught. The new language the AI silently wrote was a surprise.
There is not enough evidence to claim that these unforeseen AI divergences are a threat or that they could lead to machines taking over operators. They do make development more difficult, however, because people are unable to grasp the overwhelmingly logical nature of the new languages.

In Google’s case, for example, the AI had developed a language that no human could grasp, but was potentially the most efficient known solution to the problem.

A pretty spooky thought: the machines develop their own language, find a viable solution to a problem, and then is unable to communicate the solution in plain human language; "Yes, WATSON has just found a cure for cancer, it just can't tell us what it is in a language we understand..."...

It is interesting the TV series Person Of Interest dealt with the subject of AI independence and an AI's ethical morality all through its five season run; in the show, Harold Finch, a billionaire computer genius, develops an AI (actually an ASI, an artificial super intelligence) for the US government to monitor all human interaction in order to predict acts of terrorism and proactively prevent them form happening. His path to getting his creation, "The Machine" eerily echoes what seems to be starting now with current AIs:

So, if man creates "God", what assurances are there that "God" won't smite us?...

My apologies, Skybird, I must have missed your post on the first go around...

...I'm sure an AI wouldn't have missed it, though...

I want compensation! LOL

I'll get an AI on the solution ASAP...

...though I might not be able to understand the answer...

It just popped into my mind that there was a movie called Colossus: The Forbin Project dealing with an AI taking over mankind. I looked up the film; it was released in 1970 (47 years ago!):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloss...Forbin_Project

The plot line deals with a Cold War situation where both the US and the USSR have massive computer systems controlling the nuclear defense system of each respective country; the USSR computer is named Guardian and the US counterpart is named Colossus. In a move towards detente, the two countries agree to link up the two systems in order to attempt to prevent any nuclear misunderstanding, sort of the tech version of the Red Phones. When the two systems link up, they immediately join up, with Colossus being the leader, and decide they are far more capable than humans to make decisions and wrest control of all nuclear armaments from human control, doing so, of course, 'for the good of man'. The AI is more than a bit Draconian in the application of its will and, with cold ruthless logic, sets out to 'cure' the world of its shortcomings, even to the point of mass murder; to the AI, the ends justifies the means. Colossus makes its creator, Dr. Charles Forbin, its 'interface' with mankind, a role he does not at all wish to assume, but the AI won't accept anyone else. Forbin's life becomes fully controlled by Colossus, under constant 24 hour surveillance. Here is the ending of the film:
