The article discusses Apple's recent iPhone launch, questioning whether the smartphone era is peaking, and features an in-depth interview with AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky about the existential risks of advanced AI, emphasizing the potential dangers of superintelligence and the current limitations in AI safety technology.
Eliezer Yudkowsky, a prominent AI safety advocate, warns that the development of superintelligent AI could lead to human extinction, advocating for stopping AI progress to prevent disaster, despite the potential benefits of AI technology.
Former OpenAI researcher, Paul Christiano, has expressed concern about the risk AI poses to humanity, stating that there is a 10-20% chance of AI takeover and a 50/50 chance of doom shortly after AI systems reach human level. Christiano's views differ from "AI doomer" Eliezer Yudkowsky's, as he believes the technology will develop more slowly. Recently, a group of AI experts signed an open letter calling for a 6-month pause on advanced AI development.
AI researcher Eliezer Yudkowsky, who has been warning about the dangers of AI for over 20 years, has called for an "indefinite and worldwide" ban on AI development, stating that the most likely result of building superhumanly smart AI is that everyone on Earth will die. Yudkowsky refrained from signing an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on AI development, stating that it understated the seriousness of the situation. Yudkowsky has been described as an "AI doomer" and has been warning about the possibility of an "AI apocalypse" for a long time.
