Humanity stands at a precipice.
For the first time in history,
we are developing artificial minds
that could exceed our own capabilities
and redirect the course of civilization.
Throughout history,
humans have created increasingly
sophisticated tools to extend
our capabilities and to survive.
To create and use tools is to be human.
But AI is fundamentally different
from any other technology we've built.
The world's largest corporations and most
powerful nations are racing each other
to build Artificial General Intelligence,
AGI: an AI system that can match or
exceed almost all human capabilities.
Hundreds of billions of dollars
are being invested every year.
This race exists because of the belief
that intelligence equals power.
A nation or company that has access
to more advanced AI has a massive
competitive advantage in every arena:
scientific, technological,
military, and economic.
But when it comes to AGI,
this reasoning is dangerously wrong.
The AGI that nations and companies are
racing to develop cannot be reliably
controlled by any human institution.
AI systems aren't programs
engineered by people;
they're digital constructs grown using
giant computations
on huge amounts of data.
We don't really understand how they work
or what's going on inside of them.
We're far closer to building AGI than to
understanding how it might be controlled.
The risks of developing AGI are too
numerous to name,
from a rapid concentration of power
by corporations, governments,
or AI themselves,
to massive societal disruption,
including the collapse of social
and economic structures,
increased geopolitical instability,
the empowering of terrorist organizations
and the development of chemical
and biological weapons.
These risks are not speculative.
We're starting to see
many of them already.
Now imagine how much more dangerous
the world would be with vastly
more powerful AI systems.
But this uncontrolled race
isn't the only option.
Humanity does not need to mindlessly
hurdle towards oblivion.
AI systems will—and should—be built,
but we don't need to build AGI.
It is not controversial to say that we
should turn away from technologies
that could be harmful to civilization,
like we do with biological weapons,
space weapons, genetic engineering
on humans, and eugenics.
We can impose clear limits,
lines we won't cross, and things that
we won't do as we build these systems.
The most dangerous AI systems are those
which combine high intelligence across
many domains
with a high degree of autonomy.
The danger zone is at the intersection.
Today, these properties are unique
to humans and grant us
the power to shape the world.
We can build AIs that are powerful
and useful, but controllable
if we keep them out of that zone.
This 'Tool AI' can help us develop new
technologies,
advanced scientific discovery and improve
the quality of human life
