I’m impressed that Ben Goertzel got a politician to adopt his obscure alternative to CEV as their model of the future! This after the Saudis made his robot Sophia into the first AI citizen anywhere. He must have some political skills.
Hi, it’s kind of an honor! We’ve had at least one billionaire and one celebrity academic comment here, but I don’t remember ever seeing a government minister before. :-)
Is there a story to how a Taiwanese digital civil society forum, ended up drawing inspiration from CBV?
I just mean he must know how to liaise credibly and effectively with politicians (although Minister Tang has clarified that she knew about his alignment ideas even before she went into government). And I find that impressive, given his ability to also liaise with people from weird corners of AI and futurology. He was one of the very first people in AI to engage with Eliezer. He’s had a highly unusual career.

Well, before 2016, I had no idea I’d serve in the public sector...
(The vTaiwan process was already modeled after CBV in 2015.)

Also one of the Godfathers of AI.
Can you give detail about what you mean?
