Painful intelligence: What AI can tell us about human suffering

4.9/5 (24789 ratings)

Description:This book uses the modern theory of artificial intelligence (AI) to understand human suffering or mental pain.Both humans and sophisticated AI agents process information about the world in order to achieve goals andobtain rewards, which is why AI can be used as a model of the human brain and mind. This book intends tomake the theory accessible to a relatively general audience, requiring only some relevant scientific background.The book starts with the assumption that suffering is mainly caused by frustration. Frustration means thefailure of an agent (whether AI or human) to achieve a goal or a reward it wanted or expected. Frustration isinevitable because of the overwhelming complexity of the world, limited computational resources, and scarcityof good data. In particular, such limitations imply that an agent acting in the real world must cope with uncontrollability, unpredictability, and uncertainty, which all lead to frustration.Fundamental in such modelling is the idea of learning, or adaptation to the environment. While AI usesmachine learning, humans and animals adapt by a combination of evolutionary mechanisms and ordinarylearning. Even frustration is fundamentally an error signal that the system uses for learning. This book exploresvarious aspects and limitations of learning algorithms and their implications regarding suffering.At the end of the book, the computational theory is used to derive various interventions or training methods that will reduce suffering in humans. The amount of frustration is expressed by a simple equation whichindicates how it can be reduced. The ensuing interventions are very similar to those proposed by Buddhist andStoic philosophy, and include mindfulness meditation. Therefore, this book can be interpreted as an exposition of a computational theory justifying why such philosophies and meditation reduce human sufferingWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
