About the black box (spoilers!)

Why is it stated that installing standard AI (instead of black box) is considered inhumane? After all standard AI is also artificial, and may be even less conscious than the black box?

Is this related to setting from other games in the series?

Best Answer

Earlier in the game it is revealed that humans were extinct before the alien invasion. So it would have been other androids building the YoRHa units.

Presumably those androids believed that their consciousness was superior (or at least distinct) from machine consciousness, so it would be more humane to use (enslave?) machine consciousness when making the soldiers.

As you play the game, you might get the idea that the differences are far smaller than those androids assumed.

What is black box model?

What is the metaphor of the black box?

The black box metaphor dates back to the early days of cybernetics and behaviourism, and typically refers to a system for which we can only observe the inputs and outputs, but not the internal workings. Indeed, this was the way in which B. F. Skinner conceptualized minds in general.

Why neural network is black box?

At the most basic level, \u201cblack box\u201d just means that, for deep neural networks, we don't know how all the individual neurons work together to arrive at the final output. A lot of times it isn't even clear what any particular neuron is doing on its own.
