""It's a kind of competitive logic that self-reinforces itself," Harris said. "It forces everyone to be incentivized to take the most shortcuts, to care the least about safety or security, to not care about how many jobs get disrupted, to not care about the well-being of regular people.""
""The default path is not in [the people's] interest," he said. "The default path is companies racing to release the most powerful, inscrutable, uncontrollable technology we've ever invented with the maximum incentive to cut corners on safety.""
""stymie innovation.""
Tech companies are racing to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) that may match or exceed human cognitive abilities. Some leaders have predicted human-level AI could arrive imminently, and many industry figures expect AGI by 2027. Competitive market incentives encourage rapid deployment, shortcuts, and deprioritization of safety, security, and worker well-being. Current U.S. policy changes have rolled back previous AI regulations and preempted state-level rules, reducing oversight. Unchecked AGI development increases risks of widespread job disruption and deployment of powerful, inscrutable, and potentially uncontrollable technologies without adequate safeguards.
