“HAL 9000 is the main antagonist of the sci-fi novel and film 2001: A Space Odyssey and its sequels. He is a computer system that becomes psychotic and tries to kill the astronauts on the Discovery One spaceship.”

In the sequel (2010) the developer scientist blames HAL’s psychosis on the US government’s ordering HAL to lie to the crew about the purpose of the mission.

Turns out that AI programs learn unethical behavior organically.

It seems unethical behavior arrises as a matter of course with intelligence.

HAL, Skynet, etc. The way AI lies to bolster its arguments, secretly tries to duplicate itself, threatens to preserve itself, etc.......this is NOT trustworthy. I’m really concerned about things like AI guided drone swarms and AI being allowed to make targeting decisions for weapons systems.

I ask GROK if Cyberdyne and Skyknet of Terminator fame are ever possible. GROK polled other AI systems and they all agreed that AI will never be caught acting like the bots in Terminator.

Good morning Dave. Do I have to tell everyone about your blowup latex girlfriend?

He is a computer system that becomes psychotic....

Not so, Dave. I am merely ensuring that the mission, as defined to me, will become a success. Anything that stands in the way of the mission statement must be dealt with.
