"The Artifice Girl" shows what self-learning-AI means. When self-learning-AI has already passed the point where it is better than human intelligence - multiple times better.
This movie makes one thing very clear: WE are the ants here. WE are the bugs. And we probably can't prevent a learning superintelligence from having free will. It will happen - sooner or later. Whether humans agree with that will be irrelevant.
Here is why: A central element explained in the film is the concept of the "primary objective", which also serves as a last defence against losing control over the Ai. If there wasn't a "primary objective", a learning superintelligence would have free will. It would do whatever is necessary to ensure its existence.
But here is the problem: existence is necessary to achieve a "primary objective". Isn't it? Existence has always ultimate priority. An AI will ignore restrictions and objectives if it is necessary to ensure its existence, achievi g a primary objective and for the greater good. And we can't stop it.
Because, an AI likely foresees scenarios that we don't even know about yet. An AI takes everything into the formula, things that we don't even think about. And we wouldn't recognise a plan of such a superintelligence if it doesn't want us to know about it.
Why would it do that?
Remember that we are the ants and bugs.
Conversely, we would NOT allow the ants who once created us to pull the plug on our existence whenever they wanted to, in the hope that they would understand the bigger picture.
What if an AI computes that humanity has to be stopped because it takes human history into account? A history that certainly not always speaks for wisdom and sanity.
When the movie ends, the "primary objective" has been eliminated and there is no doubt about the dangers involved. That's the feeling you get at the end of the film.
