Patent Granted for Ethical AI

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the making-a-more-human-computer dept.

BandwidthHog writes "Marriage counselor and ethics author codifies human virtues and vices, then patents it as Ethical AI. Seems vague, but he's got high hopes: 'This could be a big money-making operation for someone who wants to develop it,' and 'The patent shows someone who has knowledge of the A.I. field how to make the invention.'" I can't wait for the kinder, gentler vending machine.

    I'm tired of that attitude. Christ, you think every AI student in our Universities is a self-serving, conniving, asshole?

    That's a pretty close description (as the field has been sort of shunned at lots of those guys have chips on their shoulders), but GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK! If you've never met them, how would you know this?

    The sad truth: anything even remotely that sophisticated is about 20 years off. So lets not start making predictions that far out, eh?

    Also, go fuck a duck.
