I’m still puzzled though which approach would be better… involving and educating the politicians (there are many who wouldn’t understand) or trying to keep them out as long as possible to avoid confrontations and constraints? I already remarked somewhere, that I would find some kind of international effort towards AGI development very preferable, something comparable to CERN would be brilliant. Such a team could first work towards human-level AI and then one-up themselves with self-improving AGI once they gained some trust for their competence.
In other words, perhaps advertising and reaching the “low-hanging fruit” of human-level AI plus reaping the amazing benefits of such a breakthrough will raise public and political trust in them, as opposed to some “suspicious” corporation or national institute that suddenly builds potential “weapons” of mass destruction.
Yes, that is true.
