Jaan Tallinn (What to think about machines that think)
Jaan Tallinn argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that requires careful development to mitigate existential risks, similar to how nuclear technology was handled.
Jaan Tallinn argues that artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that requires careful development to mitigate existential risks, similar to how nuclear technology was handled. He points out that AI is even more complex because it’s a “metatechnology” that can develop other technologies, making risk assessment more complicated. Tallinn emphasizes that while there has been progress in AI safety research, more needs to be done. He calls for setting aside debates on AI consciousness and ethics to focus on practical safety measures, drawing an analogy to how nuclear scientists shifted focus from maximizing power to containing it. He concludes that ramping up AI safety research is not a matter of ethics but common sense.
