Daniel Kokotajlo reportedly warns against trusting CEOs with superintelligent AI

Andrew Curran quotes Daniel Kokotajlo as warning that tech CEOs probably could not control future, recursively self-improving superintelligent AI. Even if they retained control, Kokotajlo reportedly argued, they should not be trusted with it because they could become dictators or oligarchs in the United States. The warning describes a hypothetical risk; the quotation comes from Curran’s account of testimony.
