What timescale are you answering that question on? This decade or the next hundred years?
- JohnFen 3y agoIn the decades to come. Although if you asked me to predict the state of things in 100 years, my answer would be pretty much the same. I mean, all predictions that far out are worthless, including this one. That said, extrapolating from what I know right now, I don't see a reason to think that there will be an AGI a hundred years from now. But it's entirely possible that some unknown advance will happen between now and then that would make me change my prediction.
- pdonis 3y agoI don't think it matters. Even if within a hundred years an AI comes into existence that is smarter than humans and that humans can't control, that will only happen if humans make choices that make it happen. So the ultimate risk is still human choices and actions, and the only way to mitigate the risk is to figure out how to not have humans making such choices.
