Abstract

In the paper Avoiding Adverse Autonomous Agent Actions , Hancock (2021) sketches the technolo-gical development of automomous agents leading to a point in the (near) future, where machines become truly independent agents. He further elaborates that this development comes with both great promises, but also serious, even existential threats. Hancock concludes with highlighting the importance to prepare against problematic actions that autonomous agents might enact and suggests measures for humanity to take. and when intelligence will exceed human intelligence. Instead, I will reflect on the societal challenges outlined in Hancock’s article. More specifically, I will address the role of public opinion as a factor in the implementation of autonomous agents into society. Thereby, public perception potential strengths and opportunites may lead to exaggerated expectations, while public perception of potential weaknesses and threats may lead to overexceeded

评论:社会对自主代理行动的希望和威胁的反应:关于公众舆论和技术实现的思考

汉考克(2021)在论文《避免不利的自主代理行为》(avoid Adverse Autonomous Agent Actions)中概述了自主代理的技术发展，从而在(不久)的将来，机器成为真正独立的代理。他进一步阐述说，这种发展既带来了巨大的希望，也带来了严重的，甚至是存在的威胁。汉考克最后强调了准备应对自主代理可能实施的问题行为的重要性，并提出了人类应采取的措施。当智能超越人类智能时。相反，我将反思汉考克文章中概述的社会挑战。更具体地说，我将讨论公众舆论作为在社会中实施自主代理人的一个因素的作用。因此，公众对潜在优势和机会的感知可能导致高估预期，而公众对潜在弱点和威胁的感知可能导致高估预期

期刊介绍： Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary journal defining and reporting on fundamental research in human-computer interaction. The goal of HCI is to be a journal of the highest quality that combines the best research and design work to extend our understanding of human-computer interaction. The target audience is the research community with an interest in both the scientific implications and practical relevance of how interactive computer systems should be designed and how they are actually used. HCI is concerned with the theoretical, empirical, and methodological issues of interaction science and system design as it affects the user.
