📖 Description

Artificial Intelligence Safety and Cybersecurity : a Timeline of AI Failures Roman V. Yampolskiy Computer Engineering and Computer Science University of Louisville [email address redacted] M. S. Spellchecker Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way , Redmond, WA [email address redacted] Abstract In this work , we present and analyze reported failures of artificial ly intelligent systems and extrapolate our analysis to future AIs. We suggest that both the frequency and the seriousness of future AI fail ures will steadily increase. AI Safety can be improved based on ideas developed by cybersecurity experts . For narrow AI s safety failures are at the same , moderate, level of criticality as in cybersecurity, however for general AI, failures have a fundamentally different impact . A single failure of a superintelligent system may cause a catastrophic event without a chance for recover y. The goal of cybersecurity is to reduce the num...

📊 Game Impacts

Not verified in game

Which variables this event was proposed to move, and in which direction. The magnitudes are held in the corpus but are not shown here, because they have not been verified against the shipped game. They come from pdoom-data. They describe what an event was proposed to do, not what the shipped game does with it. Most events in the corpus are flavour: they are shown for colour and do not move any game variable. Only a small minority reach the systems below, and several of the variables listed here are not read by the game at all yet. Treat this table as a design proposal under review, not as a measurement of play. Corrections and arguments are welcome — the suggestion links at the foot of this page go straight to the data repo.
