The Guardian just covered our new paper on calculating the "Compton constant", the probability that future superintelligence will escape human control and take over Earth. If researchers across companies & countries recompute this constant and agree that it's too high, there will…
AIs improving AIs will quickly take us from chatbots to God-like superintelligence, and this poses a terrifying risk of extinction. Why do we expect this, and how can we stop it? We made this phenomenal new video with Rational Animations to explain!
Our new paper tries to quantify how smarter AI can be controlled by dumber AI and humans via nested "scalable oversight". Our best scenario successfully oversees the smarter AI 52% of the time, and the success rate drops as one approaches AGI. My assessment is that the "Compton…

Most people around the world agree - reckless AI development threatens human extinction, and we should do something about it.
Here's a fascinatingly well-researched scenario where AI takes over in a few years and then kills all humans. Whatever actually happens will probably feel comparably sci-fi:

Lot of talk about eval-based AI safety policy right now (e.g. 'coordinated pausing', 'RSP'). Relying on evals is dangerous. In a nutshell, what these proposals are saying is: - It's OK to build world-ending AI - It's not OK to deploy world-ending AI 🧵
The Godfather of AI is sounding the alarm: Soon, “they might take over” Geoffrey Hinton now believes: 1) AIs are intelligent 2) AIs definitely understand 3) AIs now have some self-awareness (!) “We can't afford to get it wrong with these things... In 5 years time, AIs may well…

Together with@ConjectureAI, we will host an event in the runup to the first major global summit on AI safety, on Oct 10,@ConwayHall. How can policy and the upcoming Summit help to prevent risks? @romanyam @NPCollapse and others will discuss! Info, tickets: lu.ma/xp3l35k6
Inspiring! Finally some goverment leadership on saving the world from AI! :D

We protested in The Hague, Netherlands to ask our government to prioritise mitigation of AI risks. We had a few speeches, talked to people on the streets, handed out flyers and had a good time! Check out the press release (EN + NL) for more information: pauseai.info/2023-august-nl
Overheard at a Meta GenAI social: "We have compute to train Llama 3 and 4. The plan is for Llama-3 to be as good as GPT-4." "Wow, if Llama-3 is as good as GPT-4, will you guys still open source it?" "Yeah we will. Sorry alignment people."
"AI existential risk is an evolutionary problem". I found this sentence to encapsulate elegantly an extremely important idea. Some thoughts on it: 1) Core idea: i) by default, as long as someone somewhere can build a misaligned AGI, everyone is at risk. ii)…

Are AI companies pushing the existential risk narrative to manipulate us? TL;DR: They have been avoiding x-risk as a topic, and the only thing AI companies did was sign a statement. It is possible that AI companies think they will benefit in some strategic way by acknowledging…
You are right that open source brings in different challenges in relation to AGI extinction risk, and there's no easy solutions that will make everyone happy (as is usual in life, alas). The OSS community (which I love deeply) has a double-edged sword of a culture of…
Without internationally enforced speed limits on AI, humanity is very unlikely to survive. From AI's perspective in 2-3 years from now, we look more like plants than animals: big slow chunks of biofuel showing weak signs of intelligence when undisturbed for ages (seconds) on end.…

There's a growing amount of conspiracy theories being widely spread in the media about why people are warning about existential AI risks. It's understandable that people believe these narratives, for at least two reasons. First, because it matches the skepticism that many…
