that took human beings 1,500 years to attain. Only the basic rules of
the game were provided to AlphaZero. Neither human beings nor
human-generated data were part of its process of self-learning. If
AlphaZero was able to achieve this mastery so rapidly, where will AI
be in five years? What will be the impact on human cognition
generally? What is the role of ethics in this process, which consists
in essence of the acceleration of choices?

Typically, these questions are left to technologists and to the
intelligentsia of related scientific fields. Philosophers and others
in the field of the humanities who helped shape previous concepts of
world order tend to be disadvantaged, lacking knowledge of AI’s
mechanisms or being overawed by its capacities. In contrast, the
scientific world is impelled to explore the technical possibilities of
its achievements, and the technological world is preoccupied with
commercial vistas of fabulous scale. The incentive of both these
worlds is to push the limits of discoveries rather than to comprehend
them. And governance, insofar as it deals with the subject, is more
likely to investigate AI’s applications for security and intelligence
than to explore the transformation of the human condition that it has
begun to produce.

The Enlightenment started with essentially philosophical insights
spread by a new technology. Our period is moving in the opposite
direction. It has generated a potentially dominating technology in
search of a guiding philosophy. Other countries have made AI a major
national project. The United States has not yet, as a nation,
systematically explored its full scope, studied its implications, or
begun the process of ultimate learning. This should be given a high
national priority, above all, from the point of view of relating AI to humanistic traditions.

AI developers, as inexperienced in politics and philosophy as I am in technology, should ask themselves some of the questions I have raised
here in order to build answers into their engineering efforts. The
U.S. government should consider a presidential commission of eminent
thinkers to help develop a national vision. This much is certain: If
we do not start this effort soon, before long we shall discover that
we started too late.
