Abstract

AI safety research stands at a fundamental crossroads: the Control Paradigm, which seeks to keep AI under human control, or the Symbiosis Paradigm, which aims for an egalitarian relationship. This paper focuses on co-creative ethics—symbiosis-promoting ethical norms that diverse intelligences autonomously form through interaction. The Control Paradigm faces three fundamental limitations: scalability constraints, dynamic value adaptation failure, and multi-agent management failure. Realizing the Symbiosis Paradigm requires elucidating the emergence mechanisms of co-creative ethics. In an era where superintelligence becomes dominant, humanity's long-term survival critically depends on whether superintelligence develops co-creative ethics. This paper proposes Emergent Machine Ethics (EME) as a foundational framework to address this challenge.... (read 2563 more words →)
