The Trajectory

Nick Bostrom, the Founding Director of the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford, delves into the ethical implications of artificial general intelligence (AGI). He explores the concept of 'worthy successor' intelligences that aim to coexist with humanity while preserving our values. The discussion highlights the need for ethical governance in the face of rapid AI development and the importance of regulating AI to ensure human-centric futures. Bostrom also addresses international competition in technology, particularly between the US and China, advocating for cooperative oversight.

Dan Hendrycks, Executive Director of The Center for AI Safety, discusses the power players in AGI, the posthuman future, and solutions to avoid an AGI arms race. Topics include AI safety, human control, future scenarios, international coordination, preventing AGI for military use, and collaboration with international organizations for ethical AI development.

This is an interview with Dileep George, AI Researcher at Google DeepMind, previously CTO and Co-founder of Vicarious AI.This is the fourth episode in a 5-part series about "AGI Destinations" - where we unpack the preferable and non-preferable futures humanity might strive towards in the years ahead.Watch Dileep's episode on The Trajectory YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/nmsuHz43X24See the full article from this episode: https://danfaggella.com/dileep1 See more of Dileep's ideas - and his humorous AGI comics - at: https://dileeplearning.github.io/Some of the resources referenced in this episode:-- The Intelligence Trajectory Political Matrix: http://www.danfaggella.com/itpm...There three main questions we'll be covering on The Trajectory:1. Who are the power players in AGI and what are their incentives?2. What kind of posthuman future are we moving towards, or should we be moving towards?3. What should we do about it?If this sounds like it's up your alley, I'm glad to have you here.Connect:-- Web -- danfaggella.com/trajectory-- Twitter -- twitter.com/danfaggella-- LinkedIn -- linkedin.com/in/danfaggella-- Newsletter -- bit.ly/TrajectoryTw-- YouTube -- https://youtube.com/@trajectoryai
