I propose a thread to keep us up to date about developments in AI, not so much the technology itself as how it affects society. For starters: > **[AI ‘child’ granted residency in Tokyo - Taipei Times](http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/world/archives/2017/11/05/2003681714)** > > An artificial intelligence (AI) character was made an official resident of a busy central Tokyo district yesterday, with the virtual newcomer resembling a chatty seven-year-old. > The boy named “Shibuya Mirai” does not exist physically, but he can have... _“Human rights aren’t just for humans anymore!”_ 😀 🤖 🌈 ---

I think we should check if it’s safe to discuss it first. Is this topic a good idea? @discobot fortune ---

Even though this is what I currently do for a living, I keep wondering if it’s wise to deploy AI in a massive scale before we even understand how a neural network can give rise to emotions. ---

Nope, we (Forumosa) only have anti-spam AI so far. Anti-troll AI comes later. ---

If we’re lucky, the robots will keep humans as pets. Worst case scenario: they exterminate us as vermin. Now the transhumanists might be able to make an arrangement. Meet them halfway. ---

> [@yyy](#): > > Anti-troll AI comes later. Anti-troll requires context-awareness for texts, which is easily achieved now with an LSTM neural-network model. I wouldn’t be surprised if there already is a discourse module for anti-trolling out there. It’d be a bit harder if a troll is trolling with mimes. That would require a convolutional neural-network connected into a LSTM. ---

@yyy is this how ai actually affects society, or how our imaginations want/anticipate it will go? ---

I’d say there’s no rush with the AI research. I don’t need my sex robot telling me all about her “feelings.” ---

You asked a question in the negative and the bot replied no. = yes it’s a metal construct. … which opens a can of worms. My mind is meat. One which has fabricated society. So if I ditched the meat body and uploaded, what is left of society? I’d finally be free from evolution-mandated behaviors, but then what? Without chemistry-driven compulsion what is left? All thought is synaptic firings. How can AI ever resemble thought？I wanna be a computer 😑 ---
