More to the point: AGI is a testing problem. And it’s the kind of testing problem that can only be solved by hiring incompetent or corrupt testers. Since there is no possibility of an uncontroversial specification of intelligence, there is no possibility of an honest and competent tester coming to the conclusion that sufficient testing has been performed on a candidate AGI to certify it. Similarly, you won’t get any security professional to say that system is guaranteed to be secure. Moreover, you can’t get any honest psychologist to swear that any person definitely has no mental illness. How companies are dealing with this is to bet that they can fool enough people so that the remaining skeptics can be safely ignored. |
