Executive summary: Pausing AI development is a form of progress that allows for careful planning, safety considerations, and societal reflection to ensure beneficial outcomes, rather than rushing ahead recklessly.
Key points:
A pause in AI development provides time to address safety concerns and potential catastrophic risks.
Pausing allows society to guide AI deployment according to broader preferences, not just tech companies’ interests.
The accelerationist view of progress ignores important distinctions between AI and past technologies.
Even “aligned” superintelligent AI could lead to undesirable futures without careful consideration.
Multiple conditions should be met before resuming superintelligent AI development, including institutional safeguards and global consensus.
A “Long Reflection” period is needed to carefully consider humanity’s values and ultimate direction with AI.
