Excellent presentation by a highly respected AI scientist!
Speaker: Steve Omohundro
Session Description: We’ll discuss an approach to AI safety based on the laws of physics and mathematical proof which are the only two guaranteed principles for constraining powerful AGI systems. The approach is very promising but will require many new ideas. We’ll discuss how the technology could not only lead to AI safety but also to human thriving.

“It’s gonna get better and better and better and then KABOOM we all lose.” — Max Tegmark
OBVIOUSLY: “It doesn’t take a genius to realize that if you make something that’s smarter than you, you might have a problem… If you’re going to make something more powerful than the human race, please could you provide us with a solid argument as to why we can survive that, and also I would say, how we can coexist satisfactorily.” — Prof. Stuart Russell
Editorial Comment: P(Doom) is easy to understand. IF humans lose control to AI, THEN our future is entirely uncertain. IF AI competes with humans, THEN humans will be unable to compete and will be displaced over time, as certain as Natural selection just happens.

WHY?
We love our children and our families!
Provably Safe AI for sustainable benefit of humans is vital to all people. AI must be controlled forever. AI must be by people, for people. Humans must not become superseded by a superior intelligence. Humans are a wonderful species, loving, curious inventive and compassionate. Humans want to survive and prosper. Let’s get to it!
WHAT?
Natural selection is unstoppable!
Provably Safe AI for sustainable benefit of humans would be the greatest event in human history. But, if not deployed with safety guarantees, AGI could well be the end of humanity. The benefits of AI are as enormous as are the dangers of uncontrolled AI. We build tools to improve our lives. Intelligence is extreme power. X-risk must be ZERO!
