Should humanity ban the development of superintelligence until there is broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably and strong public buy-in?

Eric Schmidt strongly disagrees and says:

I’m not in favor of a six-month pause because it will simply benefit China. What I am in favor of is getting everybody together to discuss what are the appropriate guardrails. So, I’m in favor of letting the industry try to get its act together. This is a case where you don’t rush in unless you understand what you’re doing. (2023) source Unverified

I spent a lot of years hoping that the collaboration would occur, and there are many people in our industry who think that the arrival and development of this new intelligence is so important, it should be done in a multinational way. It should be done in the equivalent of CERN, which is the great physics laboratory, which is global in Switzerland. The political tensions and the stress over values is so great. There’s just no scenario. There’s just — I want to say it again, there’s just no scenario where you can do that. (2024) source Verified
