Perspective.
‘Justice is not justice if it is a desiccated calculating machine’
… “Even when instructed to be a merciful, kind judge focused on practical consequences for the community, still the AI didn’t want to deviate away from the plain text of the statute and the precedent. [It] shows us that it’s not easy at all to get an AI to behave the way that a human judge does. Maybe that’s bad, maybe that’s good, but you can’t just clearly emulate human judging, at least at present, with AI.”
The Future as seen in 1978.
Arthur C. Clarke Predicts the Rise of Artificial Intelligence & Questions What Will Happen to Humanity (1978)
… Yet even deep into one such fallow season, AI could still inspire enough fascination to become the subject of the 1978 NOVA documentary “Mind Machines.”
The program includes interviews with figures now recognized as luminaries in the history of AI: John McCarthy, Marvin Minsky, Terry Winograd, ELIZA creator Joseph Weizenbaum. It also brings on no less a technological prophet than Arthur C. Clarke, who notes that the dubious attitudes toward the prospect of thinking machines expressed in the late seventies had much in common with those about the prospect of space travel during his youth in the thirties. In his view, we were already “creating our successors. We have seen the first, crude beginnings of artificial intelligence,” and we would “one day be able to design systems that can go on improving themselves.”
