Good for People, but What Kind of People?

Google AI Blog

There are many kinds of people in the world, and we need to make some effort at classifying them - especially ethically.

Ethics, or Morality, has been badly damaged in the last few hundred years. And for most people, it is not as important as Power. Power gets them what they want - more of everything! And they cannot see Ethics gives them anything.

For them - if they cannot see it, touch it, smell it, or taste it - it does not exist! Or, looking at it another way - if other people don't want it, they do not want it either.

They live in a world populated by people like them. People who do not think, but act without thinking. And they are certain, this is the right way to be.

Practical, not Ethical.
