AI existential risk paper questions power-seeking argument

A new paper on arXiv explores the concept of instrumental convergence and power-seeking behavior in artificial intelligence. The author argues that the concern over AI posing an existential risk due to power-seeking rests on a strong interpretation of the instrumental convergence thesis. The paper examines existing defenses of this thesis and concludes that they do not sufficiently support the argument for power-seeking AI, with implications for AI governance and long-term risk studies.
