AI Safety: Exploring Technology vs Species Threats (blog.eladgil.com)

Summary:

• The article discusses two potential threats posed by advanced AI: technology level risk and species level risk.
• Technology level risk views AI as a tool that can be used or abused by humans, while species level risk considers AI as a self-replicating, sentient digital life form that could compete with humans for resources.

Key terms:

• Technology Level Risk: Viewing AI as a tool or technology that can be controlled and abused by humans or the AI itself.
• Species Level Risk: Considering AI as a self-replicating sentient digital life form that could compete with humans for resources.
• GitHub Copilot: A tool that allows AI to write code, with nearly 40% of code being written by AI in enabled files.
• Digital Ecosystem: The environment in which self-evolving AI organisms grow and interact with each other.
• Advanced Robotics: The development of robots and drones that can perform complex tasks, controlled by AI systems.
