First question on AI. Is the problem superintelligence or distorted intelligence? This is a question I tried to address in this piece. I can add the following additional comment here. I believe the debate is being obfuscated by equating goal-driven, autonomous behavior with intelligence. Plants and insects have goal-driven, largely autonomous behaviour. But this isn’t what we mean by intelligence in general. Intelligence is general-purpose and holistic, and is typically well-adapted to its environment. There is no doubt that current AI models have impressive capabilities. But in attempting to achieve these capabilities, AI labs may be creating distorted intelligence rather than superintelligence, as I explain in this article. This matters because the dangers we should watch out for, the kinds of policies and regulations we should adopt, and the hope we should hold depend on the answer to this question.
