Hundreds of us marched in London on Saturday to show AI company CEOs and government that we're aware enough of AI harms, and determined enough to stop them, to take coordinated action. We're organising together. Join us. pauseai.uk #AIGovernance #PauseAI #london

AI researcher Prof. Roman Yampolskiy: 100% of code for the most powerful AIs is now written by AI, an early form of recursive self-improvement. He says it's a hyperexponential process that results in superintelligent AI, "machine gods", which we won't be able to control.

"They're betting everyone's lives: 8 billion people, future generations, all the kids, everyone you know. It's an unethical experiment on human beings, and it's without consent." — AI researcher Prof. Roman Yampolskiy on the development of superintelligence. We can prevent it.

Protest in 2 days! Yesterday I told some friends at AI companies about this and started preparing my speech. Today I'm calling radio stations to tell them about it.
David Krueger@DavidSKrueger

A week from today, we will be at Anthropic, OpenAI, and xAI, demanding that leaders agree to a conditional AI pause. These companies are recklessly endangering all of our lives. Their excuse is that they can't pause unilaterally. So they must commit to pausing if others do.

A new poll shows 69% of American voters think superintelligence should be banned. Just 9% disagree. Despite acknowledging that the development of this technology could lead to human extinction, the largest AI companies are openly racing to build it. Thread 🧵

It’s hard to recognize an exponential curve when you’re in one. Think back to February 2020. At the time, there were only a few hundred COVID cases. Epidemiologists were freaking out, but most politicians were blind to the risks. After all, what’s the worst that could happen from a few hundred cases? A month later, the world was in chaos. Life was normal, until it suddenly wasn’t. Nothing magical happened, just cold, hard exponential growth. But most people were taken by surprise. We aren’t used to dealing with exponentials in daily life. Over the last few years, AI systems have gone from being able to operate autonomously for a few seconds, to several hours. AIs are already writing much of the code at frontier companies, further accelerating AI development. A feedback loop of AIs improving AIs could be imminent. Think back to how you felt when you saw those first COVID cases on the news. Did you predict what was about to happen? There are only two ways to react to an exponential: too early, or too late. This post is a wake-up call. Join PauseAI US before it’s too late.

I've been telling everyone about this presentation I saw from @davidshor a few weeks back. I'm psyched to see this stuff publicly available now! I really encourage people to take a look! I guess I misremembered this key bit about how salient AI is... still not that high, but rising fast.
David Shor@davidshor

Excited to be on Odd Lots to talk about the politics of AI. AI today is less important than it will ever be. Over the past year, AI rose in issue importance faster than any issue we track — it's now more important to voters than climate change, child care, and abortion.

Neil deGrasse Tyson ended tonight's debate with an impassioned plea for an international treaty to ban creating the sort of superintelligent AI that could kill us all.

So much opposition to pausing arises from either (a) misunderstanding that the proposal is for a verifiable and enforceable multilateral treaty, not just unilaterally stopping in the US, and/or (b) defeatism about the prospects for such a treaty. Karp is effectively saying he’s “very in favor” of a pause treaty here. Not too far from PauseAI’s position!
Jawwwn@jawwwn_

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says the luddites arguing we should pause AI development are not living in reality and are de facto saying we should let our enemies win: "If we didn't have adversaries, I would be very in favor of pausing this technology completely, but we do.”

I completely agree with Gov. DeSantis here: "There needs to be a way to pull the plug" & "[you can't] say these machines are gonna be doing things and we're gonna suffer harm and there's nothing anybody can do about it". It is so, so refreshing that this issue is bipartisan.
ControlAI@ControlAI

At an AI policy roundtable, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) says we should not build tech that will supplant us as human beings. "I don't think you can say these machines are just gonna be doing things and we're gonna suffer harm and there's nothing anybody can do about it." "There have to be ways to make sure that this stuff is controllable."

For clarity: I don't think a datacenter ban does the job. An AI doesn't need to run on a datacenter in your hometown to be a threat to you. We need global agreements that chips won't be used for superintelligence, enforced by monitoring.

@ShakeelHashim I read "Very excited for AI TAKEOVER" a bit too quickly and thought you'd changed your mind about some important things there :) Sounds like a valuable contribution, and not a moment too soon.

it’s really good to see this, and it clearly needs doing. but it’s not without risk that we again have to rely on a lab to do it—many eggs in one basket. sooner or later, the incentives of technical progress, policy advocacy and public education will pull very different ways.

@SenSanders A US ban on AI datacenters is a first step, but it won't suffice. We need international buy-in to prevent the creation of a superintelligence. Work towards a treaty, track AI hardware, inspect datacenters. Use IAEA as inspiration - we already track uranium enrichment hardware.

A huge coalition including Nobel Prize winners, top AI experts, political and media figures, and dozens of organizations just made a joint declaration in favor of pro-human AI, calling for the development of superintelligence to be banned. Polling shows the public clearly agree! ControlAI is proud to support this initiative. In recent years, countless leading AI scientists and experts have been warning that the development of superintelligent AI could lead to human extinction. We shouldn't play dice with our survival. It's time for governments to act.

This is how Anthropic - one of the biggest AI companies - thinks AI will affect jobs. The more blue the greater the potential for job loss. Red is where this is already happening. In a nutshell: Any job that is not manual has the potential to be carried out by AI.

It’s defeatist to frame ASI as inevitable and “hope” we can handle it. Pausing (eg by shutting down the fragile supply chain for advanced compute) is technically feasible and would allow us to proceed only if and when humanity develops the technical and institutional capacity to handle it. Also, anxiety is an adaptive response to extreme risk. The best thing most people can do to “make it go well” is to demand that governments immediately stop AI companies from recklessly gambling with their lives. This won’t happen in an emotional vacuum.
