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.

    So, I guess this guy is just a mindless jerk who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

    As long as they don't put this stuff in doors or paranoid androids, I think I could deal with it.

    That's true: in this postmodernist world, what's true for you isn't true for me--how can a system (which, by definition, has a fixed set of laws which determine its operations--see The Matrix for an example) adapt to different individual interpretations of a moral code? Given postmodernism, it doesn't seem to make sense to have a computer system programmed as a modernist...

    Well arn't you the smart guy on the block? You can spank me later big boy, I can tell that you want to.

    Well you sure showed me good. You should put it on your resume, "Corrected Anonymous Coward on HHGTTG trivia" in big bold letters. You'll be out of your mothers basement and into a job at McDonalds faster than you can blink!

    You bastard! You promised me that you would stop using this glorified chat room! It's not enough that I saved you when those nutjobs sent you over the falls in a rowboat! It's not enough that I nursed you back to health! It's not enough that I have twelve children for you! When those stupid hairy-foots tried to get into Mordor, did I eat them? No!

    You've been hanging out in the woods with that Elf slut again, haven't you? If I catch you with her, it's not going to be a pretty sight!

    You're ashamed of me! You never bring company home to our nice, dry cave! I slave all day to make a nice home, and you're always "out with the boys" (hah!). Well, if this doesn't stop, you'll be hearing from my lawyers!!!

    Your Loving Wife,

    Shelob
