A consulting firm called Gladstone AI published a report commissioned by the State Department this week that recommended more government involvement with the development of artificial intelligence to avert “urgent and growing risks to national security,” which could metastasize into an “extinction-level threat to the human species.”
The nightmare scenario is “loss of control,” which the report defined as “a potential failure mode under which a future A.I. system could become so capable that it escapes all human effort to contain its impact.” Altman felt it was impossible to halt, or even meaningfully pause, A.I. research, “because if people in America stop, people in China wouldn’t.” He urged the development of precautionary standards that could be adopted by researchers worldwide, which is essentially the same recommendation made by the Gladstone AI report.
The authors called for such intrusive government remedies because they feared the competitive race to develop AGI will make cutting-edge “frontier” companies reckless.
