Andrea Miotti on a Narrow Path to Safe, Transformative AI

Future of Life Institute Podcast

Andrea Miotti joins the podcast to discuss "A Narrow Path" — a roadmap to safe, transformative AI. We talk about our current inability to precisely predict future AI capabilities, the dangers of self-improving and unbounded AI systems, how humanity might coordinate globally to ensure safe AI development, and what a mature science of intelligence would look like.

Here's the document we discuss in the episode:
