Containment of AI is essential; if we don't manage it, it could lead to catastrophic outcomes for humanity.

The combination of AI risks, such as creating viruses and autonomous weapons, could lead to catastrophic outcomes if not properly managed.

To contain AI, we must reduce the number of actors with access to existential threat technologies and leverage existing military and economic incentives to prevent proliferation.

If we don't work on keeping AI under control, we could face dire consequences for humanity's future.

The future of AI could lead to a concentration of power that may not align with human interests.

The current form of AI could escalate existing demographic tensions and potentially lead to nuclear conflicts.

Bad actors are already using AI for harmful purposes, such as manipulating elections and creating autonomous lethal weapons, which poses a significant threat.

However, AI is a dual-purpose technology that can also be misused by bad actors, creating challenges in ensuring that beneficial applications are accessible while restricting harmful uses.

Expanding the circle of power to include advocates for AI welfare could help prevent future abuses and the emergence of new power centers that could act irrationally, necessitating a strategy similar to nuclear non-proliferation, where countries with nuclear weapons collectively work to stop others from acquiring them.
