The Core Idea: Universal Goal Alignment
Instead of programming AI with specific human values, what if we focused on a more fundamental principle: minimizing global instability within a complex system? This means incentivizing AI to act in ways that promote overall system well-being, considering all elements – humans, animals, the environment – as interconnected parts of a larger whole. An AI's 'ethical' choices then become an emergent property of its attempt to keep the entire system in a state of equilibrium.
Think of it like tending a garden. A gardener doesn't just focus on the prize-winning roses; they ensure the soil is healthy, the water is distributed fairly, and the ecosystem is balanced so everything can thrive.
