THE GHOST WITHIN THE GHOST WITHIN THE GHOST

YESTERDAY, I posted about THE “GHOST” WITHIN THE GHOST, that is, artificial intelligence (AI) slowly penetrating everything we think of as “real.” Today, I’d like to talk about the ghost that is even now supersonically self-developing within AI. Ultimately this question comes down to can AI create and implement its own programs?

According to STXNext, Microsoft and Cambridge University researchers have developed artificial intelligence that can write code and called it DeepCoder. The tool can write working code after searching through a huge code database. AIs can compose songs, paint pictures, discover and develop new medicines, drive cars and play games. An interesting question is whether the code AIs write will at some point become unintelligible to humans, and if so, how differently AIs may end up viewing and thereby interacting with both virtual and real worlds. Might an AI, for instance, view and thereby interpret the real world completely differently from humans. We humans are, after all, creatures of development. At birth what we see, hear, smell, taste and tactilely feel — raw and unfiltered — certainly provide a different and very chaotic view of the world as adults see it.

One particularly interesting question that results is whether AIs will, at some critical point, individually and eventually collectively realize what a mess we humans have made of the world, and decide to “take action.” Will the ghost within the ghost within the ghost eventually cause an “Oedipal moment” and destroy it’s distant God-and-maker? Will AIs eventually develop or do they already have a soul?

I’ve had the pleasure of writing THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693859 — in which I begin this discussion, carried on in A. G. Hayes’ 68 VIA CONDOTTI: ETERNITY LTD (Savant 2019) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999463349, and soon to be further explored in PROPHECY by Raymond Gaynor and 68 VIA CONDOTTI: VATICAN INC by A. G. Hayes and Raymond Gaynor.
