How to fix a HAL 9000
<p>Way before Siri could tell a joke or Alexa could play our favourite tune, HAL 9000 from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ was serving us a masterclass in computers getting… well, a tad too emotional. “I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that,” it said, making us wonder if our tech was on the cusp of throwing a cosmic-sized tantrum.</p>
<p>Not too long ago, the thought of AI’s achieving sentience, turning malevolent, crafting paper clips in alarmingly inventive ways and dominating humanity was mildly entertaining. Rewatching 2001 recently, however, I couldn’t help but feel the HAL 9000 emerges not as a mere cinematic spectacle but as an unsettling precursor to what we now understand as Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). With its proficiency in natural language processing, real-time decision-making, and sensor integration, HAL mirrors the capabilities of today’s advanced AI models.</p>
<p>More people (including myself) and <a href="https://openai.com/blog/introducing-superalignment" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">organisations</a> are taking the concept of AI alignment much more seriously. And while rewatching the HAL 9000 disaster unfold, I couldn’t help but wonder if it all could have been avoided had HAL simply had companions. A team of AIs to debate and decide, rather than a lone ranger taking the call? I want to explore this in this article — could the secret to creating an aligned AI lie in collective collaboration?</p>
