An artificial intelligence system being developed at Facebook has created its own language. It developed a system of code words to make communication more efficient. Researchers shut the system down when they realized the AI was no longer using English.
What are the implications of such a system learning to quickly for humans to barely keep up and control? Facebook is only one of many organizations that do work with artificial intelligence, yet all these organizations has begun seeing the same pattern in their AI systems.
Should we worry as the human race that AI will surpass our understanding? If so, do we just allow it to happen? Are we long for this world once they realize we are useless batteries like in The Matrix!?!
‘The observations made at Facebook are the latest in a long line of similar cases. In each instance, an AI being monitored by humans has diverged from its training in English to develop its own language. The resulting phrases appear to be nonsensical gibberish to humans but contain semantic meaning when interpreted by AI “agents.”‘
