- If you take the existential risk seriously, as I now do, it might be quite sensible to just stop developing these things any further.
- The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.
- ... we should have to expect the machines to take control.
- If we pursue [our current approach], then we will eventually lose control over the machines
- Rogue AI may be dangerous for the whole of humanity. Banning powerful AI systems (say beyond the abilities of GPT-4) that are given autonomy and agency would be a good start.
of AI scientists believe the alignment problem is real & important
of citizens want AI to be slowed down by our governments
chance we'll reach AGI in 2025
We risk losing control
AI can have amazing benefits, but it could also erode our democracy, destabilize our economy and could be used to create powerful cyber weapons.
Read about the risks >We risk human extinction
Many AI labs and experts agree: AI could end humanity.
How and why AI could kill us >We need a pause
Stop the development of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 until we know how to make them safe. This needs to happen on an international level, and it needs to happen soon.
Read the proposal >WE NEED TO ACT RIGHT NOW
In 2020, experts thought we had more than 35 years until AGI. Recent breakthroughs show we might be almost there. Superintelligence could be one innovation away, so we should tread carefully.
How long do we have? >YOU CAN HELP
Too few people are well-informed about the potential risks of AI. Inform others, and help stop this race to the bottom.
