AGI, Society, and Human Being

Abstract

This paper tries to discuss on the problems anticipated in the society in which AGIs are realized. Firstly, whether AGI is recognized as fully qualified "person" in our legal system, and if the answer is yes, what kind of problems can be expected due to the difference in its character as a being. Secondly, how does its existence affect our human activities of education. In doing so, the author pointed out the need to distinguish between essential personality (discussed from the ontological viewpoint) and instrumental personality (justified from consequentialist standpoint) in the discussion of the human condition (person theory), and examined whether the concept of "individual" can be assumed in the networked AGI. The author also pointed out that where the model of exemplification and repetition is often used in education, there is a danger of losing its function, especially since simple and easy stages of work will be substituted by AGI. The author concluded that if updating values beyond repetition were to become the function especially for human beings, explicit methods for acquiring this capability would be necessary.
