AI Could Defeat All Of Us Combined

Audio versions of blogs and papers from BlueDot courses.

This blog post from Holden Karnofsky, Open Philanthropy’s Director of AI Strategy, explains how advanced AI might overpower humanity. 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."
