AI presents numerous risks to humanity. Meanwhile, progress in AI capabilities is accelerating at a frantic pace and humanity is not prepared for the consequences. AI companies are encouraging each other in a race to develop superhuman intelligence, where safety is actively sacrificed for monetary gain. We must force our governments to step in and prevent AI from reaching superhuman levels before we know how to make it safely. This pause needs to happen on an international level, including with current US adversaries.
