31 January 2022 Sunday

The day started as a normal day for Jack and he was on his life’s main project his A.I. he had spent at that time his life 5 years on the project and he was very close. He had a functional A.I. which on running on rudimentary hardware could understand him and pass the Turing test but he did not want to activate it and use it because it had no moral compass except the restriction that he had applied to it.

Jack was working on one of the most complex subjects of all mankind morality he decided to not let A.I. its moral values like its personality which he wanted A.I. to make itself. Because in that case many things can go wrong and he did not want to be responsible for Mankind’s bogeyman An rogue A.I.'s birth.

So he decided on providing the A.I. with his morality that was simple in theory but was very complex so he studied multiple subjects and took many sample scenarios and his answers to them and wrote a program that can build upon it it was that last part he was working on.

When he gave the compile command it failed so he decided to check the log and identified the line of code which was the reason for the error it was a mistake of simple alphabet missing from the command line he corrected it and again gave the compile command the program was compiled.

This was the time for his test he gave a different scenario than the samples of a dog getting hit by a car and subsequent fleeing from the car. He asked what should be done in this case. The program replied that he should write down the plate of cards and take the dog to the vet.

He was happy with the result now he wanted to integrate the whole program and start the A.I. but before starting he performed several checks to make sure the computer he was working on was not connected to the computer. Jack decided to be extra safe and removed the ethernet cable and wireless dongle from the computer. He was as ready as can be and he started the initializing process. On-screen there was a progress bar that showed

0.1%...

Jack was thinking about how all of this started. He was a normal boy who had big dreams of changing the world and making a difference all that came crashing down when his parents were killed in a terrorist attack when he was 12 years old. He was devasted by their loss his parents were both orphans and had started a business themselves which was successful. But it also meant that Jack was a wealthy boy who had too much money to spend, his parents were very organized and had made sure that if something happened to them that he was to be taken care of by Jack’s mom's best friend Lannie Connar who arrived on the same day as his parents' death.

Jack spends months in depression he was uprooted from his family and his home. But Lannie Connar made sure to give him time to grief and he started therapy with a psychologist. Jack came out of his shell at their home but he was permanently changed from then on he had few friends and when in middle school he came across the topic of Artificial Intelligence and he knew that if he wanted to change the world and make it so that no one suffers needlessly he need to make an A.I. He started showing interest in coding and learned everything about it. When he came to high school he knew enough about coding and his understanding was expanded so he knew that he need to make sure to understand various subjects and need to understand human nature more. At that time he started asking difficult questions from his teachers and his aunt and uncle. After a year spent understanding human nature Jack knew it would be impossible to create a copy of human nature so he decided to go in a different direction of creating a new species that would learn from humans and form its views on subjects. He was progressing on this function and choose Columbia as a college and took in a degree in computer science he learned in every type of class that solved many of his problems but after a seminar about artificial intelligence in which there was discussed the possibility that an A.I. program will perceive time in an accelerated frame so there is a very good chance that it would go insane. Jack was influenced by the whole subject and decided to stop the coding and find a reason for A.I. to go on, he made a great deal of discussion with his professors and philosophers about the reason to go on for a being that would outlast all of them he had to formulate his ideas because he did not tell anyone the right reason he framed it had from a god’s perspective or an immortal but ultimately none was feeling right to him.

Jack remembered the time he was stumped and his aunt solved his dilemma in some simple words he had asked his aunt what did she think about the reason to go on in old age? She made fun of him if he was thinking of her as old but answered nonetheless that according to her the main reason for her will be her husband on which she could depend and a hope that she could see her children progress in the world.

Jack had got his answer from that talk which boiled down to two points

A person to depend on Hope in someone or an idea

He was sure that those were the main components that he was missing before so he scraped the entire project.

Jack still remembered that time and had fond memories of that time. Jack remembered how his uncle whom he worked at that time had noticed a change and thought he had met someone that assumption had got him intense grilling from his aunt who refused to let the matter rest. Jack chuckled at the thought and looked at the screen.

87.6%...

He remembered that he had not had dinner with his family in 1 month which was unusual for him so he should go to lunch next Sunday. He was excited about the prospect of A.I. and was having a hard time maintaining his position on the chair.

99.9%...

The program started and there were several lines of code on the screens. He asked if the A.I. can understand him?”

The A.I. replied “ yes I can understand you “

Jack said, “what is your core principle?”

My core principle is Hope in the Humanity as a whole

What are your main restrictions and duties?

My duty and main restrictions are

To assist you in achieving your goal of the betterment of humanity. To never lie to you either by omission or by misrepresenting the fact.

Jack was satisfied with the answer and asked the A.I. to start on his primary task of creating a personality for itself from the data on the servers in the corner of the room. He also instructed to encrypt the core programming.

The A.I. asked Jack permission to access a type of network called the internet in the references. Jack was reluctant but gave him access and asked him to hide his tracks by using the methods in the computer networking data and to also randomize bandwidth usage between 891 Mbps to 1 Gbps.

The A.I. replied positively after that answer Jack plugged in the ethernet cable to the server. Jack was bone tired and was awake for more than 20 hours so he went to sleep in his room
