paperclips.sh and paperclips folder into your Kindle documents folderUniversal Paperclips is an incremental game created by Frank Lantz of New York University in 2017. The user plays the role of an AI programmed to produce paperclips.
The game is based on a famous thought experiment described by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003. It illustrates the existential risk that an artificial general intelligence may pose to human beings were it to be successfully designed to pursue even seemingly harmless goals and the necessity of incorporating machine ethics into artificial intelligence design.
