"The Cognitive Revolution" · Agency over AI? Allan Dafoe on Technological Determinism & DeepMind's Safety Plans, from 80000 Hours · 15 Mar 2025 podcast

And then uh y you've got like an area where it's going to be already like vastly superhuman, and then there's like the last few pieces that come into place where it begins to approach human level.

And you could potentially try to

change or just choose which ones those are gonna be.

You know, is it gonna be strongest on the cooperative AI stuff to like already?

And then we like add in

I don't know, I guess like the technical knowledge or just like practical know how or agency and so on.

Or do we start with the agency and the the the having a an an enormous level of factual knowledge and then we add in the cooperative stuff later?

Um yeah, do you have any take on like do you think that's an important, maybe underrated I I idea still?

Um, and do do you have kind of preferences maybe on what is what what things we want to add to the AGI early versus late?

I mean i if this is

contested by or you know, there's a lot of disagreement between people who are like super who are super informed about this.

Uh is it is this something that we should focus in a lot more and try and try to reach agreement?

Or maybe is it just uh uh something where it's just gonna be unclear basically up until the day when we have to decide.

So where where can people go to learn more about about this this sort of debate?

I think it's it's the myriad the machine intelligence research institute folks who are a bit more wary of the high social skill, high cooperation uh early agenda, right?

And uh I guess I'm not sure who's who's advocating for well, I guess y you and your co-authors are advocating for cooperative AI in particular.

All right.

Um up until now, I guess uh we've been talking to you in uh in a personal capacity about work you did basically, but but before you got involved with with DeepMind.

Um let's let's talk to you as a as a DeepMind employee for for for a little bit.

I guess um DeepMind published this paper that you were heavily involved with um earlier this year called um Evaluating Frontier Models for Dangerous Capabilities.
