DeepMind Sounds Alarm on Potential 'Severe Harm' from AGI by 2030, Proposes Safeguards
Summary
DeepMind's 145-page paper warns of potential 'severe harm' from advanced AI by 2030, proposing safeguards like access controls and AI interpretability, though some experts dispute the premises.
Key Points
- DeepMind published a 145-page paper on AGI safety, predicting AGI could arrive by 2030 and result in 'severe harm'
- The paper proposes techniques to block bad actors' access to AGI, improve understanding of AI systems' actions, and 'harden' AI environments
- Some experts disagree with the paper's premises, arguing AGI is ill-defined, recursive AI improvement is unrealistic, and misinformation from AI outputs is a more pressing concern
