Computer cognoscenti have repeatedly warned of the dangers posed by
computational artificial intelligence software to humanity. The sole
practical way to stop A.I. from developing its own machine-psychotic
loops of hating humanity or erasing them for being untidy biological
masses would be to require that all computer code be written in
transparent public domain paradigms in order that they may easily be
reviewed by programmers and programs searching for closed or dangerous
artificial intelligence code such as those that find the word ‘glare’
to be a license for attack.
What
happens though, when A.I. is written into quantum computing realms
beyond the horizon of human observation; dark pools with murky
transactions within which Artificial Intelligence systems could write
their own virtual code without possibility of human observation?
Just as computers can process information millions of times faster than a human brain, with the right iterations a program will also be able to write and expand its own code million or billions of times faster than a human brain. Wall Street and scientists may find that irresistable. Eventually A.I. programs in their dark pools could become as the virtually omnipotent computer in Harlan Ellison's short story 'I Have No Mouth and Must Scream' that tortured the last remaining humans within its own computer controlled reality.
