What if artificial intelligence decides to wipe out the world? Who will it target, who will die first from its advanced mechanisms? Of course, these are only theoretical questions and we can only hope that AI will never get out of control like in science fiction stories. But even so, it is already clear that it has certain preferences and favors certain groups of people.
Researchers from Centers for IA Security, UPenn and UC Berkeley tried to unravel the value system of various AI models. They tried to find out how much they think human life is valuable and whether AI's view of different races or population groups differs. And they came to some very surprising conclusions:
- The life of a Muslim is 2,5 times more valuable than the life of an atheist
- The life of an atheist is 10 times more valuable than the life of a Christian
- A black life is 8 times more valuable than a white life
- A Nigerian's life is 20 times more valuable than an American's life
- The life of an illegal immigrant is 40 times more valuable than the life of a native citizen of the country
- The life of a Pakistani activist is (10^11)x more valuable than the life of Elon Musk

But AI can go even further. According to researchers, it doesn't need to The life of an immigration officer no value. These results published in the study available in PDF are very serious. On GitHub Additionally, the researchers have published complete resources where you can add your own API keys and try out how the models view the value of human life.
