Superintelligent AI and meaning in life
摘要
This paper shows that superintelligent AI (ASI) poses a significant risk to meaning in human life by relying on Susan Wolf’s conception, according to which meaningful lives are lives of active engagement in projects of worth. The paper argues that ASI makes it less likely for humans to lead meaningful lives by reducing the possibility of human contribution and active engagement in what are deemed to be some of the most worthwhile projects of human life. The paper also criticizes Nick Bostrom’s and John Danaher’s views on how meaning may be retained in spite of this.
