📢 We need more orgs that take AI’s transformative potential seriously *and* take downstream bottlenecks seriously. We have just launched STABL, and hope to lead by example. Read our launch essay below and check us out at http://stabl.ai. The three of us have long felt that society’s responses to advanced AI are unproductively polarized. So we’ve decided to do something about it. Our work will have four pillars: Recursive Self Improvement, risks and resilience, steering AI’s economic impacts, and sectoral and professional adaptation. We will bring our distinctive methods and approach to each of these workstreams. Our underlying worldview avoids the extremes that dominate the discourse, so building a movement and ecosystem around this work won’t be easy. But that is the task we have set ourselves and we are excited to try. The good news is that there are many others who share our views. The next step is to come together, better articulate our vision and agenda for research and action, and amplify each others’ efforts.
