Lifeboat Foundation launches Interactive Friendly AI

Minden, NV | Posted on April 6th, 2015

Currently most Friendly AI research just produces papers and nothing to
attract the public's interest. Considering how much more money is being
invested in nonfriendly AI than Friendly AI we think it would be worth
putting some effort into Interactive Friendly AI so we could 1) get the
public's interest and hopefully encourage more Friendly AI
interest/research 2) help develop algorithms that will be applicable to
future Friendly AI efforts.

Our project has dual goals: 1) education, for making a chatbot aimed at
clarifying what the risks and benefits of AI are, and discussing the
various approaches to them and related considerations, dispelling
misconceptions, etc. 2) beefing up the directedness and credibility of
the actual research to actually make an AI friendly.

The Lifeboat Foundation welcomes everything from flowcharts detailing
questions and answers that our AI should know, to hosting AI engines at
lifeboat.com, to linking to AI engines elsewhere. (Our current AI is
composed of one AI at lifeboat.com and one AI elsewhere.) Email
with the subject "Lifeboat Foundation AI" if you
wish to help in any way including providing feedback.
