Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Thomsen presented a paper on a biologically inspired cognitive architecture model called Ouroboros model and dicussed its general ethical application in General Artificial Intelligence (AGI). Thomsen first introduced different assessments of potential threats and benefits of GAI and suggested the current limitations of AI might be overcome following some design principles outlined by the Ouroboros model.

 

This paper is well written and the author provides a lot of general discussions on various ethical aspects of GAI. However, I feel the discussion around the Ouroboros model is too general and it is difficult to understand how the theory of Ouroboros can be applied to a specific AI or machine learning model. Also, I find section “Impact and further recommendations to societies” is disconnected from the other sections of the paper and is unrelated to the main topic or the Ouroboros model. I hope the author can provide a concrete case study on one or two examples to explain the application of the Ouroboros model clearer in the revision.

Reviewer 2 Report

First the entire article only portray assumptions  with no case study /example that would reflect author finding and overlap of scientific and social community. 

line 123 -124 :g. The sequential activation of schemata-components can be understood as a generalization of simple if --> then (production) rules; each constituent feature can activate an entire schema and subsequently 125 bias its other linked attributes. can author elaborate with an case study example. 

line 188/189: The golden rule, especially in its positive formulation, has been declared as strongly related to / relying on un-reflected sympathy rather than true empathy.  how is author driving to this 

I believe its more worthy to have a case study based approach and making the hypothesis more close to practical
