Description
This seminar is intended for graduate students and faculty.
The technologies of artificial intelligence are rapidly advancing, and many experts anticipate the emergence of a machine with powers vastly dwarfing humanity, and capable of extinguishing humanity. Human survival may depend on the design and implementation of restraints on AI, but can this be done? This paper explores how the seemingly novel ASI control problem is in many ways an extension of the republican constitutional project of restraining centralized state power to protect popular liberty and security, and of designing machines and infrastructures artifacts for public safety.
