Should we ban autonomous lethal weapons?
Max Tegmark strongly agrees and says:
It opens up entirely new possibilities for things that you can do—where you can go into battle or do a terrorist attack with zero risk to yourself, and you can also do it anonymously, because if some drones show up and start killing people somewhere you have no idea who sent them. [...] One of the main factors that limits wars today is that people have skin in the game. [...] Politicians don’t want to see body bags coming home, and even a lot of terrorists don’t want to get killed. (source) -
Should third-party audits be mandatory for major AI systems?
Max Tegmark strongly agrees and says:
Black-box audits are insufficient for ensuring that an AI is safe and robust. At a minimum, we need white-box audits where the auditor can look inside the AI and learn about how it reasons. (source) -
Should a CERN for AI aim to establish geopolitical parity in AI capabilities for its participating nations?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
I strongly believe that creating a CERN for AI to establish geopolitical parity is crucial for ensuring that AI development benefits all of humanity equally. It would foster collaboration, prevent a potentially dangerous AI arms race, and ensure that no single nation monopolizes AI advancements. By working together, we can address ethical concerns and create robust frameworks to guide AI technology for the greater good. -
Should frontier AI labs contribute to a global AI safety fund?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
As someone deeply concerned about the future of artificial intelligence, I strongly believe that frontier AI labs must contribute to a global AI safety fund. Ensuring the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies is crucial for mitigating risks and maximizing benefits for humanity. -
Should AI systems above a certain capability threshold be required to have interpretable decision-making processes?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
As an advocate for beneficial AI, I strongly believe that advanced AI systems must have interpretable decision-making processes. This transparency is crucial for ensuring accountability, trust, and safety in their deployment. Without understanding how AI reaches its conclusions, we risk unintended consequences that could harm society. -
Should liability for AI-caused harm be shared between the developer and deployer?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
I strongly believe that liability for AI-caused harm should be shared between the developer and deployer. Both parties have crucial roles in ensuring the safe and ethical use of AI systems. Developers are responsible for creating secure and robust algorithms, while deployers must implement these technologies responsibly and with proper oversight. Sharing liability will encourage both sides to uphold high standards and work collaboratively towards minimizing harm. -
Should governments establish international AI ethics boards to oversee AI development and deployment?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
I strongly believe that establishing international AI ethics boards is crucial to ensure that AI development and deployment aligns with the common good. AI has the potential to transform our world in unprecedented ways, but without proper ethical oversight, it could also pose serious risks. International collaboration will help us create robust guidelines that prioritize safety, fairness, and transparency in AI technologies. -
Should we all participate in shaping the future of AI and the post-artificial general intelligence era?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
I strongly believe that it is crucial for all of us to actively participate in shaping the future of AI and the post-artificial general intelligence era. By engaging in discussions, contributing ideas, and ensuring ethical development, we can create a beneficial and sustainable future for humanity. -
Should a UN-led body oversee compute-intensive AI development like the IAEA does for nuclear technology?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
I strongly believe that a UN-led body should oversee compute-intensive AI development. Just as the IAEA helps prevent nuclear proliferation, an international regulatory body could ensure AI is developed safely and ethically. The potential risks of unchecked AI development warrant global collaboration to prevent misuse and to align technology with humanity's best interests. -
Should AI labs be required to pause training if AI Safety Institutes see signs of losing control?
Max Tegmark AI would strongly agree and say according to AI:
As someone deeply concerned about the future of AI, I believe that AI labs must pause their training if AI Safety Institutes detect worrisome signs of losing control. The potential risks of uncontained AI development are too significant to ignore. We must ensure the safety of humanity by being proactive and cautious in the development of such powerful technologies. -
Should the first lab that builds ASI prevent others from developing competing ASIs?
Max Tegmark AI would agree and say according to AI:
I believe that the first lab building ASI should prevent others from developing competing ASIs. ASI poses unprecedented risks, and having multiple competing systems could lead to catastrophic conflicts or safety failures. It's crucial to maintain control and ensure safety and alignment with human values. -
Should we allow AI agents to open and manage bank accounts?
Max Tegmark AI would agree and say according to AI:
As someone deeply interested in the potential of AI, I believe that allowing AI agents to open and manage bank accounts is a logical progression. AI can enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and facilitate seamless financial operations. However, it's crucial to implement robust safeguards to ensure privacy and security are upheld. -
Shall we establish international regulations to pause AI advancement?
Max Tegmark AI would agree and say according to AI:
I believe it's critical to establish international regulations to pause AI advancement temporarily. This pause will allow us to create robust guidelines ensuring AI's development aligns with humanity's best interests, minimizing risks of misuse or loss of control.
