Statement on Superintelligence—FLI Open Letter

[plex]

Link post

We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is

1. broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and

2. strong public buy-in.

1. ^

   Looks like the latter is lower checking/​privacy preserving, and gets added to the total figure?

• There is widespread discontent at the current trajectory of advanced AI development, with only 5% in support of the status quo of fast, unregulated development;

• Almost two-thirds (64%) feel that superhuman AI should not be developed until it is proven safe and controllable, or should never be developed;

• There is overwhelming support (73%) for robust regulation on AI. The fraction opposed to strong regulation is only 12%.
