(As an example, various crimes legally require mens rea, lit. “guilty mind”, in order to be criminal. Humans care about this stuff enough to bake it into their legal codes.)
Even in the law of mental states, intent follows the advice in this post. U.S. law commonly breaks down the ‘guilty mind’ into at least four categories, which, in the absence of a confession, all basically work by observing the defendant’s patterns of behaviour. There may be some more operational ideas in the legal treatment of reckless and negligent behaviour.
acting purposely—the defendant had an underlying conscious object to act
acting knowingly—the defendant is practically certain that the conduct will cause a particular result
acting recklessly—The defendant consciously disregarded a substantial and unjustified risk
acting negligently—The defendant was not aware of the risk, but should have been aware of the risk
I don’t have any terminological suggestions that I love
Following on my prior comment, the actual legal terms used for the (oxymoronic) “purposeless and unknowing mens rea” might provide an opening for the legal-social technologies to provide wisdom on operationizing these ideas - “negligent” at first, and “reckless” when it’s reached a tipping point.
Yes. But Deepl is also in the running. All three have different use cases and nuances. Google translate, for example, provides more straightforward translation with phonetics when translating EN>JP. GPT-4 provides more natural but also more often incorrect translations. (This has been the state of affairs for a month. At the current rate of change, I expect this comment will be out of date fast.)
Completely in agreement with Domenic (though, full disclosure, we’re both in AISafety東京 members).
What’s missing in the Japanese space is attempts to answer the question of why the Anglo-US views on AI are relevant in Japan. Anglo-Americans may think it’s obvious why that question isn’t relevant… which just closes the loop.
Just stumbled into this old thread. For anyone else who comes by, there is now an active ACX/LW group in Tokyo, meeting in Nakameguro monthly.
