artificial intelligence ethics, emotional AI, Turing test, strong intelligence, general intelligenceAbstract
In this paper, I argue that the growing development of Specific Artificial Intelligence (SIA) and, in particular, SIA for emotional interaction (SIA-E), may blur the existing boundaries between the ethical problems associated with Weak AI (WIA), small and present, now or in the short term, and those associated with Strong AI (SIA), of great importance and only theoretical or potentially present in the long term. In my argument I show the importance of the Turing test, for its objective-subjective approach, to the analysis and evaluation of the second type of risks. For it is a question not only of how much IAE-E is able to simulate human intelligence, but also of how much more susceptible we humans are to being persuaded by such simulations. The main conclusion I draw is that for technological development to bring about human progress, we need to be aware that the social paroxysm of self-deception strategies, the barbarism of specialization, and technological and teaching primitivism have a catastrophic impact on AI-E.
