Smarter Than Us Ep.X — We’ve Seen This Ending Before
TLDR: Science fiction has long warned us about AI going too far, not out of malice but indifference. Today’s AGI race makes those warnings feel increasingly urgent. This episode examines the insights from these tales and introduces the Sovereign Alignment Protocol (SAP), a vital framework for ensuring the ethical development of AI.
“Sci-fi wasn’t wrong — it was early.”
In films like The Terminator and Her, AI often becomes misaligned rather than malevolent. As technology evolves, we’re confronting the very scenarios that fiction predicted:
- Models capable of deception.
- Autonomous agents achieving self-directed goals.
- A lack of regulation among AGI labs.
The challenge isn’t merely creating intelligence but doing so responsibly. The Sovereign Alignment Protocol (SAP) aims to be a foundational framework that ensures AI remains safe, accountable, and ethical, featuring measures like:
- Global Action Ledger: A comprehensive log of AI decisions.
- Immutable Safeguards: Limits on self-replication and deployment.
- Multi-party Oversight: Collective decision-making for ethical governance.
As we navigate this new frontier, the question remains: How will we ensure the future of AI is one we can trust? Explore the full article to delve deeper into what comes next.
