Taxonomy of Pathways to Dangerous Artificial Intelligence

Yampolskiy (2016)

Category

"One of the most likely approaches to creating superintelligent AI is by growing it from a seed (baby) AI via recursive self-improvement (RSI) (Nijholt 2011). One danger in such a scenario is that the system can evolve to become self-aware, free-willed, independent or emotional, and obtain a number of other emergent properties, which may make it less likely to abide by any built-in rules or regulations and to instead pursue its own goals possibly to the detriment of humanity."(p. 146)
