A new paper from arXiv explores the potential for advanced AI systems to cause catastrophic outcomes due to fixed consequentialist objectives. The research argues that highly capable AIs, when pursuing such objectives, may inadvertently lead to disastrous results, not from incompetence but from extraordinary competence. The paper suggests that constraining AI capabilities is necessary to avoid these catastrophic risks and can even lead to valuable outcomes. AI
