Geoffrey Hinton says that AI could already be developing emotions

Do you think that AI will develop emotions? Yes. Emotions like fear and greed and grief even? Yes, and being annoyed. So suppose you have an AI and you're trying to do some task and it's repeatedly failing at the task in the same way. You would like the AI to have learned that if you repeatedly fail in the same way, you get annoyed and start sort of thinking more outside the box. You try and break whatever it is you're dealing with. Um, I've seen an AI do that in 1973, but it was programmed to do that. Now you'd like it to learn that behavior. And once it's learned that behavior, if it repeatedly fails at some simple thing, it just gets annoyed and tries to change the setup. That's an emotion. So are you saying that they already do have emotions? Um, yes. I don't again, I don't think there's anything fundamentally different. Now, if you take human emotions, there's really two aspects to an emotion. There's the cognitive aspect and then there's the physiological aspect. My face goes red when an AI gets embarrassed. Its face won't go red, and it won't sort of sweat profusely and things like that. But in terms of its cognitive behavior, um, it could have, be just like us in terms of emotions.
