OpenAI CEO Sam Altman gave an internal talk last week laying out three possible endgames for safe AI, according to The Information as relayed by The Rundown AI. The options were a global enforcer modeled on the International Atomic Energy Agency, which the report says Altman favored; a "Demis plan," named for DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis, that folds top labs into one lab serving partner countries in the manner of CERN; and a "Yudkowsky" scenario in which one lab rides self-improving AI to "melt everyone else's GPUs," which Altman called "terrible." Altman reportedly described OpenAI's current practice of shipping models once they pass safety tests as "pacing 1.0," and said choosing a path within a year, which he called "pacing 2.0," must include a speed limit or stopping point for self-improving AI.
