The Challenges of a Global AI Moratorium:

Here's how unilaterally pausing AI could backfire:

Having consensus on AI risk is... hard. We might not have it until it's too late. Watch the full video on our YouTube channel!

If superintelligent AI could cause human extinction, why don’t we simply stop building ever more advanced AI? This proposal is widely debated. In our new video, we outline the main arguments, practical difficulties, and proposed responses:

AI could make totalitarianism permanent

We're not ready for engineered pandemics.

AI Cyberattacks Are Coming

YouTube video by Rational Animations Can AI protect us from AI-powered bioterrorism and cyberwarfare?

New video! Here, we present different drivers of catastrophic AI risk besides rogue AIs. From AI-enabled cyberattacks and bio threats to power concentration and failures in critical infrastructure: youtu.be/DWBJjcO69mQ

"Oh? You’re approaching me, AI-enabled defense? Instead of letting me tear through human infrastructure, you come right to me?"

Our artists give me things to post on social media. I tend not to ask questions.

In the future, AI will power both increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks and the tools that defend us from them. Can AI-enabled cyber defense ultimately prevail over AI-enabled cyber offense? Unclear. But in this promotional image for our next video, they make peace. Why? Because love always wins.

Unsettling things are going to happen to Doggo in the next video. It’ll be out in a few days.

What makes a good test of AI intelligence?

The Horse That Revolutionized How We Study Intelligence

YouTube video by Rational Animations What a 100-year-old horse teaches us about AI

How do we rigorously measure AI's intelligence? We don't really know. We know that measuring intelligence is tricky, and if we're not careful, our tests might not measure what we intend. We explore this via Clever Hans, the “math-doing” horse, and lessons from cognitive science youtu.be/eP1dSWFqKVs

This was the first episode I had the privilege of storyboarding on as part of my art test with Rational. My section is 0:57-2:22

The Story of Omega W - Part 1

A sketch featuring an ML agent and our character codenamed "QT", by Pierre Broissand.

Pierre is the art director behind The King and the Golem and our more recent video about Sandwiching.

Here's how people tried to align an AI that was smarter than they were (a real sandwiching experiment):
