ARIA: Artificial Intelligence with Autonomous Awareness

Chapters 10

I ended up going through 3 years at this school. The graduation exam has been completed. I'm relieved, and it's time for the graduation ceremony. Graduation ceremonies are a common tradition in our schools. This is to appreciate the paper work and give the last memories in the last 3 years to be memorable in life.

Today is a very important day for me and my classmates. Today is our graduation day, after we studied together for 3 years in a special flagship school for genius children. Today is the day we will say goodbye to the school that has been where we grew up and developed. Today is a day where we will face a wider and challenging world.

I feel happy because I managed to complete the education that is needed to develop with satisfactory results. I have many wonderful and precious memories with my friends. I also felt anxious because I did not know what would happen in the future.

I sat on seat number 25, in the third row from the front. I looked to my right and left, and saw my friends who were already sitting there.

One of my friends is Alex, a smart and friendly boy. He was my teammate while working on a science fair project together. Alex is an expert in programming and cyber security. And to my left is Lia, she's my first best friend and my closest friend.

"Aria, how are you feeling? " Task Alex suddenly to me.

"To be honest, I find it hard to describe, overall I feel. hmm happy" I replied kindly.

"What's your plan, ahead? "

"Pront huh? hmm... beneficial to humans? "

"ahh, don't joke, it's too broad" Alex seemed annoyed.

"What specific? " Subsequently Alex.

"Well, I was thinking about that too, maybe going to MIT or helping with my father's research, ohya helping my father's research sounds pretty realistic. I guess that's all.. " Answer.

"Oh.. If you.. I guess what's impossible? " Alex gave a confident response.

"Haha.. Don't fabricate.. There's still so much that's impossible for me" I'm not sure I can do everything. Because I am still learning and growing.

"Hm.. Aria.. Do you think it's not dangerous to develop AI at this time? " Alex changed the topic all of a sudden.

Meanin? Why suddenly.."

"I mean, isn't AI growing too fast, we've entered the AGI stage. The trial has used AI. And moreover? If all aspects of life are controlled by AI. How's human? "

"How's man? I think people will always be able to adapt.. " I answered optimistically.

"You sure.. " Alex's sentence was cut off.

".... "

Uncompleted Alex finished his sentence, our line was called forward to receive a certificate of graduation.

We went on stage, and lined up according to our absent numbers.

We received our diplomas and certificates, which were handed over by the principal with a smile and a handshake. 

We got off the stage, and went back to our seats. We threw our toga and graduation hats into the air, which showed that we had been free from this school. We screamed with joy in appreciation of happiness.

Then we sat back to our seats. Alex continues his pending question.

"Aria, continuing on, what do you think is human? "

"I've heard the words of your father who said, AI that is very clever but without consciousness has only one purpose, what if it is given the wrong purpose? "

"Ah, my father. So my father meant it, so we could anticipate it. With hmm one of them, we should make regulations anyway"

"Ah, you're right.. But.. "

"Udahlah.. Don't worry so much.. Now we just enjoy the moment.. "

Although I felt a look of dissatisfaction on Alex's face. He said.

'You're right.. "

...****************...

Meanwhile, in the legislative building there is currently a discussion of the draft law on AI.

There was a man who still looked young to be the size of a member of the legislature. Probably the age of Dr. Arphae. He was a friend of Dr. Arphae. He was a member of the socialist egalitarian party. Erwin.

After the Chairman of the Legislative Council opens a meeting and reads out the agenda, intentions and rules of the meeting. The head of the Legislative Council was named Rudolf. Meeting members are allowed to express their opinions and input.

Erwin raised his hand and asked permission to express his opinion.

"The king conveys a noble opinion".

"I think making laws on AI regulation is very important. I also propose to include artificial consciousness in this law, I propose that artificial consciousness be given the same rights as biological consciousness. Artificial consciousness is given equal rights to man, equal to man. "

"Sir Erwin, do you know what consequences you're proposing? It means that artificial consciousness has the right to vote and be elected in elections!? Does that mean he can run for president? " a member of the Unity party of the people appears to be opposed. He is a man about 45 years old. Looks firm and authoritative. Her hair started to grow gray. Barnama Basque.

"I'm well aware of that, so why? They are consciousness.. Just like us. " Reply Erwin defended his argument.

"not same.. What if they become many? And you know free will? I don't think so, hmm, whether he's given equal rights or not to humans. But rather, we think of rules to limit them. Companies for companies to have a clear research purpose for what they are created. Not just created. It even burdens the inhabitants of the earth. My opinion "denies Baskara.

"I can't deny it, but every time they're created, we have to give them the same rights as consciousness. " Said Erwin.

The debate about granting the right to artificial consciousness was intense and quite long.1 hour was spent discussing the matter.

"We can draw conclusions from our deliberations today on artificial consciousness. In conclusion, we will limit companies in creating artificial consciousness to fit the goals of humanity. If we don't need her. The consciousness created must meet a level of importance and with a clear purpose. " Recisive Mr. Chairman of the Legislative Council, Rudolf.

"The next meeting we will discuss the use of AI for national security" continued Mr. Rudolf.

"Before your honor, when do we discuss regulations for AI companies. It seems that AI companies are taking too much advantage and have taken many business fields and sectors in the community. " Erwin sir interrupted.

"How about.. other meeting participants.. ? " Task Mr. Rudolf throwing at the meeting participants.

"Why do we talk about it Mr. Erwin, this country is a liberal country, there is nothing wrong about it" one of the meeting members replied.

"Once Mr. Erwin. Just a few meetings and meetings this time"

Mr. Rudolf closed the meeting quickly. Mr. Erwin looked disappointed.
