Superintelligence and the Triple Risk of an AI Race

On many estimates, artificial general intelligence (AGI) is likely to emerge within the next few decades or even sooner.

Key points

  • This prospect risks setting off intense competition between the United States and China.
  • Indeed, a narrative has already developed that the superpowers are locked in an AI race, with the Trump administration proclaiming its determination to 'dismantle unnecessary regulatory barriers' to winning it.
  • The third is new: losing control of human beings' future to agents far more intelligent than we are, which could endanger our very survival.
  • The United States should prioritise both unilateral and co-operative efforts to improve AI safety and avoid provoking a race that all humanity could lose.
