Robert DoyleHOST
Even Evan Huminger, another anthropic worker, chimed in to put the chance of AI-powered human extinction within 10 years as greater than 10%.
Robert DoyleHOST
Now, Nate Soares, the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, or MIRI, says it really is about literally everyone on the planet dying, like the last human drawing the last breath.
Robert DoyleHOST
And he also was the co-author of a book that says, if anyone builds it, everyone dies.
Robert DoyleHOST
Why superhuman AI would kill us all.
Mike McClanahanHOST
Is it far-fetched to think that the pace of development will lead to AI systems too advanced for humans to control? Joining me now is Aaron Scher.
Mike McClanahanHOST
He's in California with the Machine Intelligence Research Institute where he researches technical AI governance.
Mike McClanahanHOST
Aaron, thank you for your time today.
Mike McClanahanHOST
I want to start with some of the terms that may come up in this discussion.
Aaron ScherGUEST
Super intelligence is that, but for all cognitive domains.
Aaron ScherGUEST
So in AI, again, that's far smarter than the smartest humans.
Mike McClanahanHOST
So the position of MIRI, the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, is that we currently lack adequate safeguards or controls to be pushing the boundaries of these frontier AI models in the way that they apparently seem to be developing and in the pace that they are being developed.
Mike McClanahanHOST
What are the risks from your perspective of unchecked development? Where could this lead?
Anton OsikaGUEST
I've followed this since I've been a nerd for quite a few years.
Anton OsikaGUEST
In the early 2000s, there was the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, and then a Swedish philosopher kind of made this topic mainstream.
Anton OsikaGUEST
And what we're seeing now is that a lot of those predictions about the risks and the benefits playing out.
Anton OsikaGUEST
And what I'm actually... getting more and more positive about is that we are really good at building up defenses and resiliences as these risks are proving out.
NoizeraHOST
A prediction so dire that he says he has stopped contributing to his retirement savings.
NoizeraHOST
Soares, the president of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, outlined his assessment during an appearance on the Atlantic podcast, quote, the most interesting thing in AI.
NoizeraHOST
He placed the probability of AI-driven human extinction above 50% within the next 10 years, saying, quote, I don't save for retirement right now, said Soares, a former lead researcher at Google.
NoizeraHOST
I have a 401k when I worked at Google, but I haven't contributed for a decade.
Dana WrightHOST
Cry me a river.
Scott ParksHOST
Soares is currently the president of Machine Intelligence Research Institute, a Berkeley nonprofit known for promoting AI doomerism.
Scott ParksHOST
which is the belief that developing super intelligent AI will likely result in human extinction.
Dana WrightHOST
I don't think we should use someone who's likely a millionaire as a litmus test for whether or not we should be saving for retirement.
