US -China -Handelsgespräche sollten den Weg für den KI -Sicherheitsvertrag ebnen – KI könnte für Menschen zu mächtig werden, um sie zu kontrollieren. Die USA und China müssen den Weg zur Gewährleistung einer sicheren, verantwortungsbewussten KI -Entwicklung leiten

From the article

On the plus side, AI could generate significant economic growth. If we manage to [spread this wealth fairly](https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3280826/hong-kongs-richest-earning-819-times-more-poorest-residents-charity-says?module=inline&pgtype=article), it could lift billions of people out of poverty. In addition, AI might help improve global education, healthcare and efforts to fight climate change.

Impressive as these promises sound, the risks of human-level AI are perhaps even bigger. If AGI is better at enough jobs than we are, including any new jobs a growing economy might generate, this could lead to [mass unemployment](https://www.scmp.com/business/china-business/article/3224078/ai-technologies-will-leave-800000-hongkongers-out-work-or-looking-new-job-2028-says-recruiter?module=inline&pgtype=article). This could give rise to greater inequality and social unrest. In addition, AGI could help terrorists build bioweapons or commit large-scale cyberattacks

Even if AGI remains human-controlled, there is a risk that countries will sabotage each other’s AGI projects for fear of dominance by the other side. According to leading AI thinkers, including [former Google CEO Eric Schmidt](https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3216295/ex-google-boss-eric-schmidt-says-pause-artificial-intelligence-research-would-benefit-china?module=inline&pgtype=article), this could lead to mutually assured AI malfunction, similar to the nuclear mutually assured destruction of the Cold War era. This would be a profoundly uneasy balance with a risk of further escalation into a hot war.

To avoid this dangerous instability, China and the US must cut a deal on AGI. Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump must sign [an AI safety treaty](https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3240306/ai-deal-shows-china-and-us-can-work-together-tech-regulation-despite-rivalry-analysts-say?module=inline&pgtype=article), stipulating that no unsafe AI may be developed. Such a treaty should be conditional, meaning it only affects AI development if and when models get too close to being able to cause global threats.

Hahahahah. We have police robo dogs patrolling already. They have a surveillance state we aspire to, complete with „social credits“.

The worms are still coming out of the can.
