[Interview] ‘AI Risk Theory Pioneer’ Nick Bostrom “Threatening AI May Emerge Within 6 Months…The Pause Card is a Last Resort”
Nick Bostrom, founder of the Future of Humanity Institute, warns that uncontrollable artificial intelligence (AI) could pose an existential risk to humanity, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences. He notes that while some progress has been made in AI safety, the overall risk assessment has not changed significantly over the past two years.
Bostrom suggests that governments and companies may need to intervene to slow down AI development and ensure that safety and alignment technologies can keep pace. He advocates for a "pacing the frontier" approach, where AI development continues but at a controlled pace, rather than a complete pause.
