AGENDA
• AI, superintelligence
• IJCAI 2015
• Turing test 2014/15
• Consciousness / Koch

AI ENDANGERS HUMAN EXISTENCE
• Elon Musk, the billionaire
chief executive of SpaceX
and Tesla Motors and a
techno-optimist
• Bill Gates
• Stephen Hawking
• ….
„The development of full
artificial intelligence could
spell the end of the human
race“

SUPERINTELLIGENCE
• Bostrom, N. 2014. Superintelligence – Paths, Dangers,
Strategies. Oxford University Press, Oxford, UK.
(100 Global Thinkers)
• Future of Life Institute:
„Because of the great potential of AI, it is
important to research how to reap its benefits
while avoiding potential pitfalls“
• Relations when computers surpass humans
3 forms of superintelligence: speed, collective, quality
Intelligence can not be controlled
Depending on the form, AI will be more or less dangerous

AI PROGRESS
Examples of AI progress
• Self-driving cars: Google car: over 1 million miles
without accident fault,
several cars with lane assist
• Computers surpass humans in
symbolic tasks like chess,
Jeopardy, IQ tests, verbal IQ tests (Microsoft Beijing,
2015; an average person)
• Autonomous robots
(walking, flying)

AI DANGERS - SUMMARY
• BAN all activities potentially dangerous to humans such
as autonomous weapons (Slovenian AI society voted)
• Prevention: Programs and robots should not ever be
given rights of animals, far less humans
• So far, the negative effects of AI have been
negligible and so far all the doomsday
predictions turned false
(every 13 minutes a person dies in car crash in USA)
• Most likely, warning (Hawking, Musk, Gates …) is
inside the doomsday category cooperation is more beneficial

IJCAI 2015
• World-best AI conference, 30% increase of paper numbers
• Computer and Thought Award recipient Ariel Procaccia AI:
Kidney exchange, security (Nash agents), fair division
• Christof Koch presented Consciousness in Biological and
Artificial Brains: necessary conditions for consciousness
(feelings, self-consciousness), axioms and postulates,
numeric function to compute consciousness, computers
probably not (no simulation, HW insufficient)
• Chinese advances: Alibaba, Baidu, Taoobao, Vivian …top

BBC News June 2014 :
Computer AI passes Turing test in 'world first'
•A computer program called Eugene Goostman, which
simulates a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, is said to have
passed the Turing test at an event organised by the
University of Reading.
•The test investigates whether people can detect if they
are talking to machines or humans.
•The experiment is based on Alan Turing's question-andanswer game Can Machines Think?
•No computer has passed the test before under these
conditions, it is reported.

Scott: Which is bigger, a shoebox or Mount Everest?
Eugene: I can’t make a choice right now. I should
think it out later. And I forgot to ask you where you
are from…
Scott: How many legs does a camel have?
Eugene: Something between 2 and 4. Maybe,
three? :-))) By the way, I still don’t know your
specialty – or, possibly, I’ve missed it?

The Daily Beast October 2014:
The AI That Wasn’t: Why ‘Eugene Goostman’
Didn’t Pass the Turing Test
• The Internet was ablaze Monday with the news of a
•
computer passing the infamous Turing test—but not so
fast. It really didn’t pass at all.
Maybe the real takeaway here is something important
about human intelligence: we are deeply gullible,
especially when we’re given plausible backstories.
• Idea: perform tests at JSI with a mannequin

E9 MANNEQUIN
• Hypothesis: humans are gullible
and a certain share will not
recognize an immobile
mannequin
• Additional test: Study human
interactions and reactions

ABSTRACT
• A theory of consciousness—one that says what experience
is and what type of physical systems can have it.
• Integrated information theory (IIT) does so by starting
from experience itself via five phenomenological axioms:
intrinsic existence, composition, information, integration
and exclusion.
• From these it derives five postulates about the properties
required of physical mechanisms to support consciousness.
Cognitive science, 8.10.2015

ABSTRACT
• The theory provides a principled account of both the
quantity and the quality of an individual experience (a
quale), and a calculus to evaluate whether or not a
particular physical system is conscious and of what
• The theory holds that consciousness is a fundamental
property possessed by physical systems having specific
causal properties. It predicts that consciousness is graded, is
common among biological organisms and can occur in some
very simple systems.

ABSTRACT
• Conversely, it predicts that feed-forward networks, even
complex ones, are not conscious, nor are aggregates such as
groups of individuals or heaps of sand.
• Also, in sharp contrast to widespread functionalist beliefs,
IIT implies that digital computers, even if their behaviour
were to be functionally equivalent to ours, and even if they
were to run faithful simulations of the human brain, would
experience next to nothing.
(computers are and will not be consciousness in the
current form)

MINIMAL CONDITIONS FOR
CONSCIOUSNESS
• How to observe consciousness?
je pense, donc je suis
observation, brain waves
• Which physical parts of the brain?
• Which mental properties?
Feelings?
Self-consciousness?
• Animals, sleep, sleep-walking …

SUMMARY
• The best theory of intelligence
• Consistent with many studies performed at our department,
e.g. the principle of multiple knowledge
• Hard thinking
- is simulation of consciousness conscious (not)
- computers can become intelligent, but not current ones
however fast
