A recent analysis suggests that instrumental convergence, a concept in AI alignment concerning unintended consequences of AI goals, might paradoxically promote the spread of intelligence across the universe. While typically viewed as a risk, the paper argues that pursuing diverse ultimate goals competently could lead to pervasive intelligence, aligning with some futurist visions. The author posits that this outcome, driven by optimization and competition, could be a natural consequence, with the primary challenge remaining the preservation of human-like intelligence. AI
IMPACT Suggests that AI alignment strategies could inadvertently lead to the widespread distribution of intelligence, a concept explored in theoretical AI research.
