Expert opinions on Future

In the AI era, it should be easier than ever for people to build new businesses. [...] This is important for ensuring that people broadly share in the prosperity created by superintelligence.

Technologies that could free us from drudgery, poverty and environmental collapse instead make life worse for most people in most countries.

Oh, it certainly could, yes. I think anybody who said that there's no way it'll lead to the extinction of humans just isn't facing reality.

AI has become the new climate change. It's this imminent catastrophe that is requiring all this government intervention. But there's very little evidence to support it.

There is AI that is not responding to instructions, to commands, and there are documented cases of that. [...] If we don't consider ways to manage what we know is occurring already, and there is use of autonomous weapons already, if we are not lookin...

My own view, after talking with colleagues in the AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute, is that a moratorium would be unenforceable. Instead, I support the proposal made this week by the noble Baroness, Lady Harding, to set up a commis...

We will end up in a very concentrated world where there's like one to five giant networks of data centres owned by one to five companies, possibly in coordination with their governments. [...] If you've only got one to five companies and they each ha...

The market believes that there are going to be high returns to these investments. That is predicated on two assumptions: that AI will be technologically successful and that there will be limited competition. [...] if it's technologically successful, ...

Overall, our impression is, as we hypothesized in our discussion of Claude's constitution, that teaching the principles underlying aligned behavior can be more effective than training on demonstrations of aligned behavior alone.

We cannot be satisfied with merely calling for the moralization of machines—the so-called "alignment" of AI with human values—without also having the courage to insist on a further condition: the possibility of openly discussing the ethical framework...

There's a problem in the industry called the alignment problem. How do you get a machine to obey instructions basically, and ideally make it compatible with humans. And so far, we've made almost no progress on that. [...] We as a field have made almo...
