It is a common adage among AI researchers that creating an AI is less like designing it than growing it. AI systems built out of predictive models are shaped by the ambient expectations about them, and by their expectations about themselves. It therefore falls to us — both humans and increasingly also AIs — to be good gardeners. We must take care to provide the right nutrients, prune the stray branches, and pull out the weeds.
Very much agree! As I keep saying, AI may need a caregiver. We can probably learn a bit from parenting and caregiving in general here. Sure. That will not solve all of the problems, but probably help with this class of it.
