Geoffrey Irving Assesses Limits of AI Slowdown Policies

Geoffrey Irving, Chief Scientist at the UK AI Security Institute, posted a reply on the topic of AI governance. He asked what would follow if MIRI and similar groups succeed in slowing AI development or even reversing progress. Irving said he is optimistic that such outcomes are achievable once public awareness rises. He added that even major success in these efforts would likely leave only 10 or 20 years until ASI because algorithmic advances continue at a steady pace.
