RE: When AI gets trained by AI... but in the end what for?
Since it takes a lot of training to get a machine to learn something today, we use machines to do it (like showing a facial recognition system lots of faces) - it would take too long for someone to click 'next' for each picture! So in a sense, we are are already using machines to teach machines, even if they aren't really AI (yet) and we tell them what to do. Not much reward in that...
Yep, that's what I figured! Sure, I set up with this scenario in an constellation where they would have surpassed by far the ANI level. So, what would be the incentives, the rewards?
I suspect it would come down to what conflict is often over - scarce resources. One way of managing that is by using them more efficiently, so improving the efficiency of their systems - doing more with less - might be one motivating factor. And there is also the concept of self-preservation that might come into play.
Nice! Especially the self-preservation aspect! Managing scarce resources in combination with self-preservation could then possibly even trigger conflicts. "Clash of the super AGI's". ;-)
