  Two of the biggest design problems in Artificial Intelligence are how to build robots that behave in line with human values and how to stop them ever going rogue. One under-explored solution to these alignment and control problems might be to examine how these are already addressed in the design of humans. 
   
   
   
  Looking closely at the human blueprint, it contains a suite of capacities that are so clumsy they have generally been kept away from AI. It was assumed that robots with features like emotions and intuition, that made mistakes and looked for meaning and purpose, would not work as well as robots without this kind of code. But on considering why all these irrational properties are there, it seems that they emerge from the source code of soul. Because it is actually this 'junk' code that makes us human and promotes the kind of reciprocal altruism that keeps humanity alive and thriving. 
   
   
   
  Robot Souls looks at developments in AI and reviews the emergence of ideas of consciousness and the soul. It places our 'junk code' in this context and argues that it is time to foreground that code, and to use it to look again at how we are programming AI.

  The misuse of AI has led to wrongful arrests, denial of medical care, even genocide-this book offers 7 powerful principles that business can use now to end the harm. 
   
  AI holds incredible promise to improve virtually every aspect of our lives, but we can't ignore its risks, mishaps and misuses. Juliette Powell and Art Kleiner offer seven principles for ensuring that machine learning supports human flourishing. They draw on Powell's research at Columbia University and use a wealth of real-world examples. 
    
  Four principles relate to AI systems themselves. Human risk must be rigorously determined and consciously included in any design process. AI systems must be understandable and transparent to any observer, not just the engineers working on them. People must be allowed to protect and manage their personal data. The biases embedded in AI must be confronted and reduced. 
    
  The final three principles pertain to the organizations that create AI systems. There must be procedures in place to hold them accountable for negative consequences. Organizations need to be loosely structured so that problems in one area can be isolated and resolved before they spread and sabotage the whole system. Finally, there must be psychological safety and creative friction, so that anyone involved in software development can bring problems to light without fear of reprisal. 
    
  Powell and Kleiner explore how to implement each principle, citing current best practices, promising new developments, and sobering cautionary tales. Incorporating the perspectives of engineers, businesspeople, government officials, and social activists, this book will help us realize the unprecedented benefits and opportunities AI systems can provide.

  "Certainly! "Alcibiades I", also known as "First Alcibiades", is a dialogue ascribed to Plato. In this engaging conversation, Socrates interacts with the ambitious young man Alcibiades. Let's explore the essence of this dialogue:      Dramatis personae    Dramatis Personae:  Alcibiades: An ambitious youth eager to enter public life. He boasts of his good looks, noble birth, numerous friends, possessions, and connection to Pericles, the Athenian leader.  Socrates: The older philosopher who engages Alcibiades in conversation.  Content:  Alcibiades seeks Socrates' guidance before presenting himself to the Athenian assembly.  Socrates questions Alcibiades about justice, politics, and self-knowledge.  Alcibiades admits his ignorance and learns that expediency cannot exist without justice.  Socrates reminds him that true rivals are the kings of Sparta and Persia, emphasizing their education, might, and wealth.  They discuss contradictions in Alcibiades' thoughts and the Delphic maxim: "Know thyself."  The ruling principle of man, they conclude, lies not in the body but in the soul.  By the end of "Alcibiades I", Alcibiades accepts Socrates as his mentor. This dialogue invites us to explore the interplay of ambition, knowledge, and self-awareness. "
