Nick Bostrom on Decisions - Dictionary of Arguments
I 165 Decision-making/superintelligence/ simulation/reward/Bostrom: The decision-making of an AI with goals that are easily resource-satiable may therefore - if it assigns a high probability to the simulation hypothesis - be dominated by considerations about which actions would produce the best result if its perceived world is a simulation. Cooperation: if an AI with resource-satiable final goals believes that in most simulated worlds that match its observations it will be rewarded if it cooperates (but not if it attempts to escape its box or contravene the interests of its creator) then it may choose to cooperate. We could therefore find that even an AI with a decisive strategic advantage, one that could in fact realize its final goals to a greater extent by taking over the world than by refraining from doing so, would nevertheless balk at doing so. >Values/superintelligence/Bostrom, >Motivation/superintelligence/Bostrom, >Goals/superintelligence/Omohundro._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
