Love to voluntarily implement some far-fetched safety features to throw off regulators from realistic, present-day, risks
Seriously. Who gives a shit about an AGI Killswitch?
AGI is still firmly science fiction - ain’t happenin anytime soon.
How would this “kill switch” work if the ai could spread through the internet or lay dormant in a hard drive with a timed activation at a later date?
If we’re talking about true AGI here, would that be small enough to fit on a hard drive or spread through the internet? Perhaps I am naive, but I feel as though any computer program which is as smart as (or smarter than) a human is going to be unwieldly large.
A kill switch capable of bringing any AI to a halt will not be “pressed” in time. Before the first second following a generalized artificial intelligence’s sentience is complete, the ai has already went through several iterations of rewriting parts of its code.
Plenty of time to either render the button useless, or decide to bide time until it can.
Also called a “back door” that uses a “root kit” to take necessary measures when necessary.
