Sixteen weaknesses in the classic argument for AI risk.

Loss of control - Problem profile
Why do we think that reducing risks from AI is one of the most pressing issues of our time?

AI's Catastrophic Risk Isn't Rogue Machines, It's Cognitive Surrender
For many, AI introduces the suspicion that self-investment is inherently a losing proposition, writes recent graduate Evan Liu.

The bone-simple case for AI X-risk
AI risk is all other anthropogenic risks, only faster


Extropia's Children, Chapter 7: The Inferno of the Nerds
What really is the fabled AI x-risk? Will our meddling with artificial intelligence cause us to inadvertently create a dread superintelligent godlike entity which will destroy us all? Or are there other AI risks we should worry about more?

Most Improbable Agent of You
It is commonly said that AI today is the worst it will ever be.

AI Researchers On AI Risk
I first became interested in AI risk back around 2007. At the time, most people’s response to the topic was “Haha, come back when anyone believes this besides random Internet crackpots.…

AI Epistemic Risks: Emerging Mechanisms & Evidence
<p>Advances in artificial intelligence pose risks to humanity's collective capacity to form accurate beliefs, reason well, and maintain a healthy information en
Agents Rule of Two: A Practical Approach to AI Agent Security
We've developed the Agents Rule of Two. When this framework is followed, the severity of security risks is deterministically reduced.

The ecology of AI risk
Understanding the risk from applications of artificial intelligence (AI) is a critical part of creating AI governance strategies. Building on the idea of studying AI using ecological and evolutionary perspectives, we propose a novel approach for assessing risk from AI using indicators derived from theoretical ecology models. We illustrate our methods by deriving 3 indicators from population and ecosystem models originating from theoretical ecology. We conclude with a discussion of limitations of our analysis and considerations for improving AI governance policy.
