Coxon warns humanity likely to lose control of superintelligent AI
Coxon delivers his prepared statement, warning companies are building superintelligent AI better than humans at every task. He says on the current path it is more likely than not humanity loses control, potentially ending in extinction.
Thank you.
So all the AI companies are trying to build super intelligent AI.
This means AIs that are better than humans at every task.
If this goes well, there could be tremendous upside.
This could transform the economy.
It could make huge improvements in science and medicine.
And it could make nearly everyone's life better.
But on the current path, I think it is more likely than not that humanity loses control to these AIs, and it could end in human extinction.
From my experience, the companies are being extremely reckless given the stakes.
Part of it is the culture.
The companies run on a startup mindset.
