Roman Yampolskiy, an AI expert gives his view of the worst-case AI scenario. AI researchers tend to accept the unproven assumption that the problem of controlling super-intelligent machines is solvable. Hover, he notes: “… we don’t know the actual status of the AI control problem. It is possible that some forms of control may be possible in certain situations, but it is also possible that partial control may be insufficient in many cases. Without a better understanding of the nature and feasibility of the AI control problem, it is difficult to determine an appropriate course of action.”
