AI Superintelligence Ban: A Futile Effort Amidst Hype and Reality
A collective of over 850 individuals, encompassing AI experts and tech leaders such as Richard Branson and Steve Wozniak, has issued a statement advocating for a halt in superintelligence development. This call for a pause was prompted by concerns regarding the potential risks associated with superintelligence, including economic displacement, loss of control, and national security threats. The signatories, including AI pioneers like Yoshua Bengio and Geoff Hinton, demand a moratorium on superintelligence advancement until public support is established and safety can be guaranteed. The coalition behind the statement is notably diverse, including academics, media figures, religious leaders, and both former U.S. political and national security officials.
