Connor Leahy: control risk when AI competes across human tasks

‘How do you control something smarter than you? We already can't control the AI systems that exist today’

EXCERPT

LEAHY: "They are trying to replace all jobs, all human tasks, and out-compete humans, including at things such as politics and military. Their goal is what they call super intelligence. Mm. So imagine how much smarter these AIs are than AI, but at everything and if we can't control systems like this, which is kind of hard to imagine, how do you control something smarter than you? We already can't control the AI systems that g- exist today. Mm. It's kind of hard to imagine that going well, which is why in the UK recently there was a call on, on the prime minister to start regulating these type of technology. Because currently- Mm ... there's less, like, regulation on creating super intelligence than there is on selling a sandwich."
