Political Einsteins vs HAL

Won’t stop government from creating AI because:

  • Politicians will be certain they can pay HAL off.
  • Politicians will fund the construction of an AI agent to control AI.
  • Artificial idiocy always beats artificial intelligence.

Part of the team’s reasoning comes from the halting problem put forward by Alan Turing in 1936. The problem centres on knowing whether or not a computer program will reach a conclusion and answer (so it halts), or simply loop forever trying to find one.
