Listen "Charting the Course for Safe Superintelligence"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when AI becomes vastly smarter than humans? It sounds like science fiction, but researchers are grappling with the very real challenge of ensuring Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is safe for humanity. Join us for a deep dive into the cutting edge of AI safety research, unpacking the technical hurdles and potential solutions. We explore the core risks – from intentional misalignment and misuse to unintentional mistakes – and the crucial assumptions guiding current research, like the pace of AI progress and the "approximate continuity" of its development. Learn about the key strategies being developed, including safer design patterns, robust control measures, and the concept of "informed oversight," as we navigate the complex balance between harnessing AGI's immense potential benefits and mitigating its profound risks.An Approach to Technical AGI Safety andSecurity: https://storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-media/DeepMind.com/Blog/evaluating-potential-cybersecurity-threats-of-advanced-ai/An_Approach_to_Technical_AGI_Safety_Apr_2025.pdfGoogle Deepmind AGI Safety Course: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLw9kjlF6lD5UqaZvMTbhJB8sV-yuXu5eW
