Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Dan Hendrycks, and Alexandr Wang authored a paper warning the U.S. against aggressive AI development akin to a Manhattan Project. They advocate for a defensive strategy, cautioning that unilateral AI advancement could provoke retaliation from rivals, especially China. The discussion parallels the nuclear arms race, proposing that the drive for superintelligent AI could destabilize global power dynamics. Instead of a competitive development focus, the authors suggest focusing on sabotaging rival efforts to maintain stability.
The Manhattan Project assumes that rivals will acquiesce to an enduring imbalance or omnicide rather than move to prevent it, risking escalating tensions.
The authors argue a push for superintelligent AI could provoke international retaliation, especially from adversaries like China.
