Blog post — Making AI less dangerous: Using homeostasis-based goal structures
Can you really understand what is necessary, without understanding what is excessive? I would like to propose a certain kind of AI goal structures that would be an alternative to utility maximisation based goal structures. The proposed alternative framework would make AI significantly safer, though it would not guarantee total safety. It can be used at strong AI level and also much below, so it is well scalable. The main idea would be to replace utility maximisation with the concept of homeostasis.
