Scientific and technological progress might change people’s capabilities or incentives in ways that would destabilize civilization. The vulnerable world hypothesis offers a new perspective from which to evaluate the risk-benefit balance of developments towards ubiquitous surveillance or a unipolar world order.

The Global AI Vibrancy Tool is an interactive visualization that allows cross-country comparison for up to 26 countries across 22 indicators. The tool provides transparent evaluation of the relative position of countries based on users’ preference; identifies relevant national indicators to guide policy priorities at a country level; and shows local centers of AI excellence for not just advanced economies but also emerging markets.

Alternatively, they could arise from individual digital minds with superhuman moral status or ability to benefit from resources.

We consider the speculative prospect of superintelligent AI and its normative implications for governance and global policy. Machine superintelligence would be a transformative development that would present a host of political challenges and opportunities

We’ve trained a neural network called DALL·E that creates images from text captions for a wide range of concepts expressible in natural language.
