Yes, I appreciate the complexities of morality when compared with intelligence but it’s not something that we can in any way afford to ignore. It’s an essential part of alignment, and if we can get narrow ASI behind it we may be able to sufficiently solve it before we arrive at AGI and full ASI.
I don’t think this is an intelligence vs morality matter. It seems that we need to apply AI intelligence much more directly to better understanding and solving moral questions that have thus far proved too difficult for humans. Another part of this is that we don’t need full consensus. All of the nations of the world have an extensive body of laws that not everyone agrees with but that are useful in ensuring the best welfare of their citizens. Naturally I’m not defending laws that disenfranchise various groups like women, but our system of laws shows that much can be done by agreeing upon various moral questions.
I think a lot of AI’s success with this will depend on logic and reasoning algorithms. For example 99% of Americans eat animal products notwithstanding the suffering that those animals endure in factory farms. While there may not be consensus on the cruelty of this practice, the logic and reasoning behind it being terribly cruel could not be more clear.
Yes, I do believe that we humans need to ramp up our own morality in order to better understand what AI comes up with. Perhaps we need it to also help us do that.
