Lana Hart is a Christchurch-based writer, broadcaster and tutorOPINION: Eerie news about artificial intelligence (AI) and a moving funeral I attended united to make me think about the rules of conduct in the world of humans. As computers increasingly interact with the human world, there are as yet no agreed rules of behaviour for them. If this continues, computers could become super-intelligent without understanding the limitations on behaviours which we expect in the human world. In this way, AI can co-exist with us as part of the same ethical ecosystem while also remaining inferior to us. There are many different approaches that thinkers and futurists have debated about how to ensure our fastest-growing technologies are aligned with the human world.
