One of the five reviewers of the FLI’s report said that, despite aiming to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), none of the companies scrutinised had “anything like a coherent, actionable plan” to ensure the systems remained safe and controllable. The FLI’s report said: “The industry is fundamentally unprepared for its own stated goals.Companies claim they will achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) within the decade, yet none scored above D in existential safety planning.” Max Tegmark, a co-founder of FLI and a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said it was “pretty jarring” that cutting-edge AI firms were aiming to build super-intelligent systems without publishing plans to deal with the consequences.
