Siméon Campos is the president and founder of Safer AI, and a Foresight Institute fellow in the Existential Hope track.
DALL-E 3 is a generative AI tool from OpenAI.
Siméon envisions a eucatastrophe where advanced AI systems are developed with inherent safe capabilities, ensuring they pose no risks. Robust governance through a multi-stakeholder bargaining process is crucial to make sure AGI benefits the majority rather than just a few, as advanced AI could potentially allow unprecedented control over people. This governance can help technology alleviate constraints imposed by genetics or birthplace, enabling individuals to become more like who they wish to be. Moreover, with safe AGI and solid international governance, technology could address major global issues such as poverty, hunger, and disease, creating a hopeful and positive future for humanity.
