This is a linkpost to https://superintelligence-statement.org/

We call for a prohibition on the development of superintelligence, not lifted before there is

  1. broad scientific consensus that it will be done safely and controllably, and
  2. strong public buy-in.

  1. ^

    Looks like the latter is lower checking/privacy preserving, and gets added to the total figure?

  • There is widespread discontent at the current trajectory of advanced AI development, with only 5% in support of the status quo of fast, unregulated development;
  • Almost two-thirds (64%) feel that superhuman AI should not be developed until it is proven safe and controllable, or should never be developed;
  • There is overwhelming support (73%) for robust regulation on AI. The fraction opposed to strong regulation is only 12%.
