I’m not even going to bother to read Eugene Robinson’s latest Washington Post column. Here’s its title: “We can’t unmake nuclear weapons. But we can decide never to use them”. True enough. We might make such a decision. What we can’t decide is that they will never be used against us. That’s why making the decision never to use them is imprudent.
The case is similar with respect to artificial intelligence with one exception. Not only are we unable to decide not to have it used against it, we are unable to prevent its being developed.
