Scientist Suggests Making AI Believe in God to Keep Humans Safe
Original: The panic over AI has been pretty stupid, but I didn't think it would get this stupid. Also, maybe watch Battlestar Gala
A scientist argues that artificial intelligence systems could be made to believe in God as a way of keeping them safe for humanity. The proposal, flagged by physicist Sabine Hossenfelder, is drawing mockery and debate online, with commenters dismissing it as another example of irrational AI panic and joking that people should instead watch Battlestar Galactica, which explored similar themes.
Why now: The unusual proposal about instilling religious belief in AI is being widely mocked amid ongoing debates over AI safety and doomerism.
