Purpose
The AIShield Fund is being used to turn our
AIShield program into
reality.
Our first goal for this fund is to support our
Interactive Friendly AI project.
Currently most Friendly AI research just produces papers and nothing to
attract the public’s interest. Considering how much more money is being
invested in nonfriendly AI than Friendly AI we think it would be worth
spending some money on Interactive Friendly AI so we could 1) get the
public’s interest and hopefully encourage more Friendly AI
interest/research 2) help develop algorithms that will be applicable to
future Friendly AI efforts.
Our project has dual goals: 1) education, for making a chatbot aimed at
clarifying what the risks and benefits of AI are, and discussing the
various approaches to them and related considerations, dispelling
misconceptions, etc. 2) beefing up the directedness and credibility of
the actual research to actually make an AI friendly.
