The AI Superintelligence Slowdown While AI doing R&D could lead to an “intelligence explosion,” the researchers, which include leaders at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft, sayin a new paperthat “capabilities growth could accelerate far beyond what society can keep up with, humanity could lose control over superhuman AI systems, and checks on power within and between states, companies, and branches of government could be severely eroded.” The paper also says that policymakers should develop ways to steer and constrain an intelligence explosion” and “prepare society to adapt to an intelligence explosion’s impacts.” [Cambridge Programme on AI Science & Policy] A free daily digest of the news that matters most.
