Expert opinions on Future

Alignment cannot depend on one AI becoming perfectly trustworthy.

The relational alignment approach proposed here has not been subjected to adversarial testing comparable to the studies it cites. Until that testing is conducted, the proposal remains a theoretical alternative, not a validated solution.

The core claim of this contribution is that strong ethical alignment is conceptually misguided and that weak alignment will remain limited.

We argue that general intelligence may be the only biological strategy that generates existential threats to the species possessing it, an existential risk paradox with no parallel among non-intelligent survival strategies. Unlike prevailing accounts...

Much has been said about whether AI poses an ultimate existential threat to humanity. The more immediate existential challenge may be whether technologies that simulate relationships weaken our capacity for the relationships that foster our own human...

They lack the intrinsic motivation for self-preservation, dominance, or resource competition that underlies existential-risk scenarios, and the embodied vulnerability required for feeling or suffering.

Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster. Stop building machines that humans cannot control. Let me be very clear: If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will.

I believe that attempting to deliberately pace AI development will be extremely difficult, and could do more harm than good if done without proper care. However, I am signing this statement because, if an attempt at pacing does occur, it would be bet...

One rather draconian solution to all these problems, proposed earlier this week by Andrea Miotti, would be to create an “International Treaty to Ban Superintelligence.” Why worry about what to do with the latest and greatest models if you can make th...

But each time humanity has come out with more people sharing greater prosperity, health, and freedom. We believe this will be true with AI as well, and the abundance of the future can be shared by everyone.

If AGI emerges, it could become the most transformative force in economic and social life since the Industrial Revolution. Its promise is extraordinary: near-total automation of intellectual labour, accelerated scientific discovery, rapid innovation ...

None of this is going to drag people out of poverty and into a world of abundance; that simply is not going to happen thanks to AI.

Pause AI development. It is not too late to avoid disaster. Stop building machines that humans cannot control ... Let me be very clear: If you do not take appropriate action now, my colleagues and I in the U.S. Senate will.

Because the point of AI safety is not to slow the future down. It is to make sure the future remains human, aligned with our values, and advancing our interests.

If AI “superintelligence” ends up being controlled by a select few individuals, businesses, governments, or even “AI” itself, then that will naturally lead to outcomes that are less favorable for everyone else.
