Part 7/9:
Addressing concerns about AGI inevitability, Tegmark stated that such a narrative is misguided; numerous technologies have been effectively restricted and regulated to prevent harm. He urged the audience to stigmatize the concept of AGI and advocate for the establishment of safety standards akin to those in pharmaceuticals.
Transformative Safety Standards
Tegmark shared a vision of international cooperation to create binding safety standards for AI development, mirroring the mechanisms that govern other powerful industries. By ensuring that these standards are met, global prosperity could be achieved through tool AI without the dangers associated with AGI.
