Executive summary: AI could substantially improve or worsen humanity’s epistemic capabilities. Key recommendations are to develop AI that provides honest advice, establish institutions trusted for using AI well epistemically, and regulate persuasive AI.
Key points:
AI could honestly investigate questions more competently and cheaply than humans, if developed properly.
But super-human persuasion capabilities could also spread misinformation.
Recommendations include:
Develop AI that gives validated, honest advice
Survey public trust in hypothetical AI systems
Establish reputable institutions using AI transparently
Make legislative proposals restricting AI persuasion
Accelerate AI abilities on forecasting and philosophy over persuasion
The development of reliable epistemic AI should be timely to provide guidance on emerging issues.
There may also be path dependencies around reputation and consensus that necessitate quick action.
