Import AIAI score4949 Import AI 473: The US's superintelligence strategy; human brain in a mouse skull; and machine hermeneutics
RAND has released a lengthy report arguing that on the uncertain path to superintelligence the US should adopt a "Freedom of Action" strategy—that is, spend money now to preserve all options. The report distills seven prototype strategies across three major categories (coexistence, denial, acceleration) and lists five key uncertainties: proximity of danger, feasibility of coexistence, feasibility of restraint, decisive strategic advantage, and feasibility of suppression. The author comments that the US's current approach is close to the "acceleration" option, prioritizing speed with no safety measures.
