It summarizes superintelligent takeover arguments and provides a scenario where human-level AI disempowers humans without achieving superintelligence. As Holden summarizes: “if there's something with human-like skills, seeking to disempower humanity, with a population in the same ballpark as (or larger than) that of all humans, we've got a civilization-level problem."Original text:https://www.cold-takes.com/ai-could-defeat-all-of-us-combined/#the-standard-argument-superintelligence-and-advanced-technologyAuthors:Holden KarnofskyA podcast by BlueDot Impact.Learn more on the AI Safety Fundamentals website.
