| Artificial intelligence: is the ability to recognize artificial systems, patterns and redundancies, to complete incomplete sequences, to re-formulate and solve problems, and to estimate probabilities. This is not an automation of human behavior, since such an automation could be a mechanical imitation. Rather, artificial systems are only used by humans to make decisions, when these systems have already made autonomous decisions._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Max Tegmark on Artificial Intelligence - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 85 Artificial intelligence/Tegmark: Before AGI [artificial generaI intelligence] arrives, we need to figure out how to make AI understand, adopt, and retain our goals. The more intelligent and powerful machines get, the more important it becomes to align their goals with ours. As long as we build relatively dumb machines, the question isn’t whether human goals will prevail but merely how much trouble the machines can cause before we solve the goal-alignment problem. If a superintelligence is ever unleashed, however, it will be the other way around: Since intelligence is the ability to accomplish goals, a superintelligent AI is by definition much better at accomplishing its goals than we humans are at accomplishing ours, and will therefore prevail. In other words, the real risk with AGI isn’t malice but competence. >Superintelligence/Tegmark. Tegmark, M. “Let’s aspire to more than making ourselves obsolete” in: Brockman, John (ed.) 2019.
