At the Seattle AI Society, we believe that the emergence of AGI presents a unique opportunity to reimagine society and forge a better world for humanity. We focus on the transitions that humanity will go through in order to exist safely alongside AGI. This category focuses on Technological Transitions.
Technological Transitions Themes:
Sustainable Development
- Eco-Friendly Integration: ASI technologies might be developed with sustainability at their core—minimizing environmental impact while maximizing efficiency across industries.
Security
-
Alignment: How can we ensure AGI systems are aligned with human values and interests?
-
Regulation: How should we ensure continued AGI development is conducted responsibly?
-
Robust Protection: How might we use ASI to fortify and protected against threats through continuous learning algorithms that adapt faster than malicious actors can evolve their tactics.
Human-AI Collaboration
- Censorship and Bias: In what ways should the output of AI be controlled? Who controls it?
- Automation: What activity can be automated by technology? Which activities are unique to humans, or should we ensure humans maintain control of?
- Cognitive Enhancement: Collaborative interfaces between humans and machines may become so seamless that they enhance our cognitive capacities without replacing our role in decision-making processes.
