"CRITICAL THOUGHT

FOR years they lived in solitary terror of the light beams that caused searing headaches, the technology that took control of their minds and bodies.

The Basic AI DrivesStephen M. OMOHUNDRO

One might

imagine

that

AI systems with harmless goals will be harmless.

This paper instead shows that intelligent systems will need to be carefully designed

to prevent them from behaving in harmful ways. We identify a number of “drives”

that will appear in sufficiently advanced AI systems of any design. We call them

drives because they are tendencies which will be present unless explicitly coun-

teracted. We start by showing that goal-seeking systems will have drives to model

their own operation and to improve themselves. We then show that self-improving

systems will be driven to clarify their goals and represent them as economic utility

functions. They will also strive for their actions to approximate rational economic

behavior. This will lead almost all systems to protect their utility functions from

modification and their utility measurement systems from corruption. We also dis-

cuss some exceptional systems whichwillwant to modify their utility functions.

We next discuss the drive toward self-protection which causes systems try to pre-

vent themselves from being harmed. Finally we examine drives toward the acqui-

sition of resources and toward their efficient utilization. We end with a discussion

of how to incorporate these insights in designing intelligent technology which will

lead to a positive future for humanity.Keywords.Artificial Intelligence, Self-Improving Systems, Rational Economic

Behavior, Utility Engineering, Cognitive DrivesIntroductionSurely no harm could come from building a chess-playing robot, could it? In this paper

we argue that such a robot will indeed be dangerous unless it is designed very carefully.

Without special precautions, it will resist being turned off, will try to break into other

machines and make copies of itself, and will try to acquire resources without regard for

anyone else’s safety. These potentially harmful behaviors will occur not because they

were programmed in at the start, but because of the intrinsic nature of goal driven sys-

tems. In an earlier paper [1] we used von Neumann’s mathematical theory of microeco-

nomics to analyze the likely behavior of any sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence

(AI) system. This paper presents those arguments in a more intuitive and succinct way

and expands on some of the ramifications.

The arguments are simple, but the style of reasoning may take some getting used to.

Researchers have explored a wide variety of architectures for building intelligent systems

[2]: neural networks, genetic algorithms, theorem provers, expert systems, Bayesian net-

works, fuzzy logic, evolutionary programming, etc. Our arguments apply to any of these

kinds of system as long as they are sufficiently powerful. To say that a system of any de-

sign is an “artificial intelligence”, we mean that it has goals which it tries to accomplish

by acting in the world. If an AI is at all sophisticated, it will have at least some ability to

= Page 1 =

look ahead and envision the consequences of its actions. And it will choose to take the

actions which it believes are most likely to meet its goals.1. AIs will want to self-improveOne kind of action a system can take is to alter either its own software or its own physical

structure. Some of these changes would be very damaging to the system and cause it

to no longer meet its goals. But some changes would enable it to reach its goals more

effectively over its entire future.

there's a photo f a political idiot [why?] on his way into a d.o.d. office, dragging himself behind a walker.

i'd like to repose a suggestion i heard whilst watching a same clad elderly female, inMO slowly ecking her way in to a walmart shopping center, with her cromudgdeion spouse ahead of her: and he yelled:

HURRY UP, GET MOVING, YOUR TAKING TO LONG.

[why?]

only when needed dos read a republicans words.

i dont understadn how they got reelcted time and again. i dont listen to am. ever.usually. by choice.

could the town hallers try ylling at hteir own, also- for the shell-game. hey, those chevey-dullies are impkrtant.
