Question

Discuss why self-regulation should be thought of as occurring in a cybernetic system

Answer 1

Basic modern Cybernetic System has started progressing on Artificial Intelligence and is heading towards the operationalization of an ultimate AI system that may control all the functioning, regulation and systems of the world. Although it will be a great milestone for mankind as all of the mechanical decision making and calculations would be handled by the Cybernetic System and eliminate the number of Human flaws that exist leading to loopholes, illegal activities, biased decision making, and hindered working of the processes. Self-Regulatory Cybernetic System may eradicate all these problems.

On the other hand, Self-Regulation in the Cybernetic System may also give rise slipping away of the Decision Making from the hands of Man. When a self-regulatory system of Cybernetic takes charge of the worldly activities, it would adapt to a system that is taught by Humans and other processes of self-learning and this may end up in two outcomes. First being that the Cybernetic system would not let Human interference in its decision making and maintain a strict and non-mendable working system taking away every amount of Human Influence on it and may gradually take control of other systems by the self-learned knowledge that will be openly available to it making Humans its slave. Secondly, it may also start learning Human Flaws along with other possible loopholes that can be learned and become corrupt. This would make it use these Flaws to its advantage and gradually turn out to overpower and rule as a body superior to the Human Beings.

Self-Regulatory Cybernetic System, however intelligent a system, would not have the sense of Right and Wrong as it can only learn from nature, animals, and humans including the sum total of their activities in the history of the earth and interpret them as actions to learn and recognize only and not as right and wrong. Developing a Self-Regulatory Cybernetic System can be done by programming it to learn but no amount of ''Bringing-Up'' can be done to them. This may make us rethink about the Self-Regulation occurring in the Cybernetic System.
