The author elaborated on their proposed AI development roadmap. In the chart, green boxes represent desired outcomes (like preventing power concentration), while blue boxes represent recommended interventions (like enhancing transparency).
Shift in Power Sources: Once superintelligent AI is integrated into the economy and the military, the core of power will become control over AI. Although AIs will follow human instructions, they will also possess a high degree of autonomy.
Intervention Mechanisms: Implementing specific interventions can trigger a chain reaction, thereby increasing the likelihood of achieving safety and fairness goals.
