The pieces are falling into place for autonomous artificial intelligence. We must stop unregulated development

The politics and possibilities of ‘AI could kill us all’

AI will not exterminate the human race. But what big tech really *is* doing is bad enough that the notion may help fuel the movement against it.

Gradual disempowerment | 80,000 Hours

The proliferation of advanced AI systems may lead to the gradual disempowerment of humanity, even if efforts to prevent them from becoming power-seeking or scheming are successful. Humanity may be incentivised to hand over increasing amounts of control to AIs, giving them power over the economy, politics, culture, and more.
