Please give a good definition of 'on their own' and what that entails.
And conversely to the spontaneousness of current AI, your body has a constant set of inputs from reality. That is you never stop feeling, hearing, seeing, sensing, etc. Your brain can consciously turn lower the sensitivity on these things (sleeping). Now, if we subject a multimodal AI this continuous stream, how will it behave?
AI is currently compute and power limited. Very little research has gone into continuous powerhungry AI that goes off and does its own thing at this point. And I would counter that it might be really dumb to design such a device without understanding the risks it entails.
