Existential Risk Observatory seeks collaborators for AI threat model alignment research

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Existential Risk Observatory, in collaboration with MIT FutureTech and FLI, is launching a project to establish researcher consensus on AI existential threat models. The initiative aims to clarify disagreements among experts regarding how advanced AI could lead to human extinction, by building a taxonomy of threat models and working towards consensus on key assumptions. This effort seeks to deconfuse subfields like AI alignment, governance, and offense/defense balance by explicitly considering different threat scenarios. AI

IMPACT Aims to clarify AI existential threat models, potentially guiding future alignment and governance research by establishing common ground among researchers.
