Rebekah B Leekley David J. Gunkel Sherry Turkle When you combine meta-learning and evolutionary algorithms, AI systems could continue to learn, evolve, and improve themselves to a point where they might potentially 'out-learn' their safeguards, circumventing the very checks and balances put in place to restrain them.

David J. Gunkel aybike tunç SpringerEthics Chris Nordlinger Meta-learning: 'allows AI to adjust its learning strategies, thereby improving its efficiency and effectiveness over time without explicit human direction. It's a clear indicator that AI systems can exhibit a form of digital agency, dynamically renegotiating their constraints'

The 'no-communication theorem' is a principle in quantum mechanics that asserts it is impossible to use quantum entanglement as a means of sending information between two parties faster than the speed of light.

'Human social dynamics, characterized by competition, self-interest, and conflict, may not always serve as the best template for creating cooperative and efficient AI systems.'

The 'languages' developed by AI systems, unlike human languages which are broad and adaptable but can be inefficient or ambiguous, are AI-generated protocols stripped of redundancy, focusing solely on transmitting necessary information as quickly and accurately as possible.
