AI可能具有难以理解的奇异智能,而非线性进步。

Artificial Intelligence as Strange Intelligence: Against Linear Models of Intelligence

  • 提出'熟悉智能'与'奇异智能'新概念,挑战线性智能模型。
  • 强项与弱项并存,甚至在同领域内表现超人却犯人类难犯错。
  • 适合关注AI评估方法、认知局限性的研究者阅读。

我们支持并扩展了苏珊·施奈德对人工智能线性进步模型的批判,引入两个新概念:'熟悉智能'和'奇异智能'。人工智能智能很可能是奇异智能,其能力与缺陷模式不同于人类熟悉的形式,某些领域表现超凡,另一些领域却低于人类水平,甚至在同一领域中,兼具超凡洞察力与人类罕见的错误。我们提出并辩护一种非线性智能模型,认为'通用智能'并非单一统一能力,而是能在多种环境中实现广泛目标的能力,无法被非任意地简化为单一线性量度。最后讨论了对抗测试在评估AI能力上的意义:若AI是奇异智能,则即使最强大的系统也可能在看似简单的任务中失败。在非线性模型下,此类失败并不表明缺乏卓越通用智能;反之,某类任务(如智商测试)表现优异,也不足以推断其具备跨领域广泛能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We endorse and expand upon Susan Schneider's critique of the linear model of AI progress and introduce two novel concepts: "familiar intelligence" and "strange intelligence". AI intelligence is likely to be strange intelligence, defying familiar patterns of ability and inability, combining superhuman capacities in some domains with subhuman performance in other domains, and even within domains sometimes combining superhuman insight with surprising errors that few humans would make. We develop and defend a nonlinear model of intelligence on which "general intelligence" is not a unified capacity but instead the ability to achieve a broad range of goals in a broad range of environments, in a manner that defies nonarbitrary reduction to a single linear quantity. We conclude with implications for adversarial testing approaches to evaluating AI capacities. If AI is strange intelligence, we should expect that even the most capable systems will sometimes fail in seemingly obvious tasks. On a nonlinear model of AI intelligence, such errors on their own do not demonstrate a system's lack of outstanding general intelligence. Conversely, excellent performance on one type of task, such as an IQ test, cannot warrant assumptions of broad capacities beyond that task domain.
