The Inside View

CHAPTER

The Orthogonality Thesis and AI Goals

This chapter examines the orthogonality thesis, highlighting how intelligence and goals can operate independently, illustrated by the hypothetical extreme of an AI focused solely on producing paperclips. The discussion critiques this thesis while exploring the complexities of AI safety, particularly concerning the development of advanced general intelligence and its potential implications. Through a nuanced conversation about intelligence, goals, and shifting narratives, the chapter advocates for mindful AI development amid concerns about biases and existential risks.
