With the recent news coverage of scientists discussing robot uprisings and the possible dangers of artificial intelligence, it’s interesting to see a direct thought experiment along these lines from Microsoft UX developer David J. Kelley. In a recent h+ Magazine article, Interview with an AI (Artificial Intelligence) – A Subtle Warning…, Kelley provides an outline for an experiment that seeks to gain some understanding of how an AI would respond during an interview. As he explains it:
“I was thinking about ideas for an article on my train ride home from the experience lab I work in, and it came to me that it would be interesting to actually have an interview with an AI only a little bit better than us, maybe one that is one of the first kinds of true AI and for fun let’s say it has lived with us for a few decades incognito. But how can we do that?
