FHI has done a fair amount of work trying to determine the implications of different types of policies and strategies regarding AGI development and the long term effect of those strategies on risk. One of those issues is the topic of openness in AI development which is especially relevant given the existence of OpenAI, and how the approach to openness may or may not increase the likelihood of an AI arms race under different scenarios.
I think at this point the AGI risk community and the machine learning/ neuroscience communities are pretty well connected and aware of each other’s overall progress. You’ll notice that Demis Hassabis, Ilya Sustkever, Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, to name just a few, are all experts in machine learning development and were attendees of the Asilomar conference.
Neuroscience != Neural Networks and machine learning probably isn’t the only relevant bit of AI work going on currently to AGI. This is what I would like .
I’m also interested in who is currently trying to execute on getting the policies and strategies followed for minimising an arms race. Not just writing research papers.
The guest list at the Asilomar Conference should give you a pretty good idea of what the AGI risk community already looks like.
My question is what do you find inadequate about the current status of the AGI community?
I’d like more talks like:
“How can we slow the start of the agi arms race?”
“How can we make sure the AGI risk community has an accurate view of what is going on in AGI relevant research (be it neuroscience or AI)?”
