I keep thinking about WaitButWhy's excellent post from ten years ago "The Road to Superintelligence" I keep wondering exactly where we are. Lots of people are waking up to the danger now! We need a global treaty to Pause gain-of-function AI research before it spirals beyond our ability to control!

Last week I read an interesting report by the Centre for British Progress. It gave suggestions for what strategies the British government should adopt in response to this AI moment. Lots of good stuff in there, but it left out the *key* dominant strategy: Actively seeking an international treaty.

The Missing Dominant Strategy
Britain is building the tools to verify an AI treaty. It should help write one too.

These stats are taken from last years polling. I wonder what the British public think about AI now...?

Last week, we stood outside Downing Street and called for a Pause. Now Andy Burnham is calling for a global agreement on AI. The UK has an opportunity to reclaim the international leadership on AI safety established by the Bletchley Park summit and the AI Security Institute. pauseai.uk/blog

I am delighted to see Andy Burnham take on a leadership role in AI diplomacy! Humanity urgently needs to pause the development of uncontrollable recursively self-improving advanced AI systems. Middle Powers, and Britain in particular will play a vital role in brokering a verifiable Global Treaty.

A really fantastic explainer by Ezra Klein of the current situation we find ourselves in with respect to AI. The sort of video I can send to my parents 😀 Highly recommend to all! www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjZ9... -Annabelle
