Part 5/10:
Complex issues arise when considering the future landscape of AI models. The discussion proposed that if AGI is allowed to flourish unchecked, particularly with bad actors at the helm, we may witness swarms of AI agents acting in malicious ways, akin to a botnet. This scenario emphasizes a race against existential risks, underscoring the urgency for the development of benevolent AI systems that promote human well-being.
An approach suggested is to create robust, democratically-accessible AI models that prioritize human flourishing as part of a public infrastructure. This methodology aims to foster a resilient system that discourages the arms race mentality – an approach expected to amplify cooperation rather than competition.
