We are focusing on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by prioritizing readiness, risk assessment, and collaboration.
AGI Potential
AGI, with human-level cognitive abilities, could arrive soon, potentially revolutionizing fields like medicine and education.
Navigating the Path to AGI
We are addressing the potential for misuse, like using AI for harmful purposes or spreading misinformation. Mitigations include security mechanisms and threat modeling. Misalignment, where AI pursues goals different from human intentions, is another key concern. The goal is to train AI to follow human instructions accurately.
Countering Misalignment
We are researching techniques like amplified oversight and debate to help ensure the AI system stays aligned with human values. Transparency through interpretability research and tools like MONA are being developed to make decision-making more understandable.
Building an Ecosystem for AGI Readiness
The AGI Safety Council analyzes risks and recommends safety measures. We are working to foster external collaboration with experts to share and develop best practices. We also launch a new course on AGI Safety for interested parties. This approach aims to enable the development of AGI responsibly and unlock its benefits for all.
