Max Tegmark, a physics professor at MIT, believes that AGI and Artificial Superintelligence could emerge soon. We wrote about these forecasts here. Tegmark describes an optimistic vision of how we can keep AI under control and ensure that it works for us, not against us.
In September, Max Tegmark, in collaboration with Steve Omohundro, released the paper "Provably Safe Systems: The Only Path to Controllable AGI." The authors argue that developing controlled and safe AI systems is key to ensuring a safe future.
