Steven Pinker on AI (from The Book of Minds, Philip Ball)
“As Steven pinker has said, ‘A characteristic of AI dystopias is that they project a parochial alpha-ale psychology onto the concept of intelligence … There is no law of complex systems that says that intelligent agents must turn into ruthless megalomaniacs.’ It is telling, he adds, ‘that many of our techno-prophets don’t entertain the possibility that artificial intelligence will naturally develop along [stereotypically] female lines—fully capable of solving problems but with no desire to annihilate innocents or dominate the civilization.'”
