人工知能(AI)は、今後数十年のうちに、私たちの生活全般に大きな変化をもたらすことが見込まれています。AIは私たちの総資産を大幅に増やしてくれる可能性がある一方で、労働市場の混乱、大きな社会秩序の変化、企業や公的機関への負担を及ぼすことが懸念されています。そして次第に独自の目標を持ち、人を凌駕して、宇宙における私たちの位置付けさえ変えるかもしれません。人工知能が意思を持ちうると考えるか、生命の新たな形として崇めるのか、それとも単なる賢い電化製品と見做すのかはさておき、今後私たちの生活の多くの場面でますます重要性を増し、欠かすことのできない役割を果たすようになることが予想されます。
人から独立して自ら判断・行動できるAIの創出が可能だとして、そこには長らく哲学者たちを悩ませてきた深い倫理的問題が横たわります。そのようなシステムを使用することについてどのような制限を設け、誰を利する目的であれば「可」とすべきでしょうか。自動運転の車が歩行者を死亡させたら、その責任は誰が負うのだと思いますか。人工知能にその責任を負えるのか。そもそもAIは独立した権利と責任を享受すべきなのか、単なる所有物なのか。あなたのパーソナルロボットは、必ずあなたの立場を守ってくれるでしょうか。もしあなたの心がコンピュータにアップロードできるようになったとして、それはあなたなのでしょうか?ぜひ本編を読んでみてください。驚かされるかもしれません。
Over the coming decades, Artificial Intelligence will profoundly impact the way we live, work, wage war, play, seek a mate, educate our young, and care for our elderly. It is likely to greatly increase our aggregate wealth, but it will also upend our labor markets, reshuffle our social order, and strain our private and public institutions. Eventually it may alter how we see our place in the universe, as machines pursue goals independent of their creators and outperform us in domains previously believed to be the sole dominion of humans. Whether we regard them as conscious or unwitting, revere them as a new form of life or dismiss them as mere clever appliances, is beside the point. They are likely to play an increasingly critical and intimate role in many aspects of our lives.
The emergence of systems capable of independent reasoning and action raises serious questions about just whose interests they are permitted to serve, and what limits our society should place on their creation and use. Deep ethical questions that have bedeviled philosophers for ages will suddenly arrive on the steps of our courthouses. Can a machine be held accountable for its actions? Should intelligent systems enjoy independent rights and responsibilities, or are they simple property? Who should be held responsible when a self-driving car kills a pedestrian? Can your personal robot hold your place in line, or be compelled to testify against you? If it turns out to be possible to upload your mind into a machine, is that still you? The answers may surprise you.
