AGI is a bad goal.
We don’t need more intelligent systems; we need more helpful, beneficial, humanitarian systems. We should measure how “advanced” technology is, not by how well it mimics human capability, but by how it expands it.

AI systems are able to pass "theory of mind" tests - Recent research shows post-2022 models achieve 70-93% success rates on these tests, comparable to a 7-9 year old child. This forges trust in ways we are not really prepared for.
New musings: "In Machines We Trust" - explores how our brains, evolved to trust other humans, are now forming bonds with AI systems designed to seem trustworthy.

I'm working on civiceval.org - piecing together evaluations to make AI more competent in everyday civic domains, and crucially: more accountable. New evaluation ideas welcome! It's all open-source.

Align AI to human values? Have you ever met a human? The pinnacle of human centred design is the slot machine. That is what happens when we design things to perfectly match human desires.

It is DONE! 🏆
One year ago, I set out to pull together my reflections and answers to the question “how do I get into AI policy?”
This week, I finished the final installment.

I wrote something about how our over-focus on individual agent alignment might be missing the point, and potentially be causing damage. www.cip.org/blog/safetyp...
The AI Safety Paradox: When 'Safe' AI Makes Systems More Dangerous — The Collective Intelligence Project
AI safety is becoming an established field and science. Yet by focusing only on the safety of individual models, AI labs may actually be making the conditions in which they’re deployed less safe.
