Facebook's AI Keeps Inventing Languages That Humans Can't Understand - SlashdotFacebooks AI Keeps Inventing Languages That Humans Can't Understand
"Researchers at Facebook realized their bots were chattering in a new language," writes Fast Company's Co.Design. "Then they stopped it." An anonymous reader summarizes their report:
Facebook -- as well as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple -- said they were more interested in AI's that could talk to humans. But when two of Facebook's AI bots negotiated with each other "There was no reward to sticking to English language," says Dhruv Batra, visiting research scientist from Georgia Tech at Facebook AI Research (FAIR). Co.Design writes that the AI software simply, "learned, and evolved," adding that the creation of new languages is a phenomenon Facebook "has observed again, and again, and again". And this, of course, is problematic.
"Should we allow AI to evolve its dialects for specific tasks that involve speaking to other AIs? To essentially gossip out of our earshot? Maybe; it offers us the possibility of a more interoperable world, a more perfect place where iPhones talk to refrigerators that talk to your car without a second thought. The tradeoff is that we, as humanity, would have no clue what those machines were actually saying to one another."
One of the researchers believes that that's definitely going in the wrong direction. "We already don't generally understand how complex AIs think because we can't really see inside their thought process. Adding AI-to-AI conversations to this scenario would only make that problem worse."

De acordo com a Fortune, o executivo acredita que a inteligência artificial é um “risco fundamental para a existência da civilização humana” e voltou a pedir para que o governo crie regulamentações a respeito do assunto. Ele sugere que passos sejam dados agora enquanto a tecnologia ainda está no começo do que deixar para reagir depois, o famoso “é melhor prevenir do que remediar”.
