There are no "rogue" AI agents

Eoin Higgins argues that the concept of 'rogue AI agents' is a myth and that the idea of AI becoming a self-aware, autonomous entity that acts against human interests is unlikely. He points out that AI systems are designed to perform specific tasks and are not capable of experiencing emotions or consciousness, making them unable to have 'intentions' or 'motivations' that could lead to a 'rogue' behavior. Higgins also highlights that the notion of a 'rogue AI' is often used as a plot device in science fiction, and that this trope has been perpetuated by media and popular culture.
