"How would an artificial intelligence (AI) decide what to do? One common
approach in AI research is called “reinforcement learning”.
Reinforcement learning gives the software a “reward” defined in some way, and
lets the software figure out how to maximise the reward. This approach has
produced some excellent results, such as building software agents that defeat
humans at games like chess and Go, or creating new designs for nuclear fusion
reactors.
However, we might want to hold off on making reinforcement learning agents too
flexible and effective.
As we argue in a new paper in
AI Magazine, deploying a sufficiently advanced
reinforcement learning agent would likely be incompatible with the continued
survival of humanity."
