High Level AI ERAs Timeline

[1] Narrow AI -> [2] Weak AGI/Easy Turing -> [3] Strong AGI/Hard Turing/HLMI -> [4] Singularity/TAI -> [5] ASI

[2] Weak AGI and [3] Strong AGI/HLMI AI Forecasting

HLMI as machines that are capable, either individually or collectively, of performing almost all economically-relevant information-processing tasks that are performed by humans, or quickly (relative to humans) learning to perform such tasks

[4] Singularity/Transformative AI Forecasting

Transformative artificial intelligence (TAI) is artificial intelligence that constitutes a transformative development, i.e. a development at least as significant as the agricultural or industrial revolutions.

Aggressive Anchor Probabilities = Life: 10%, Short: 40%, Genome: 20%, Medium: 10%, Long: 10%, Evolve: 5%

Best Guess Anchor Probabilities = Life: 5%, Short: 20%, Genome: 10%, Medium: 30%, Long: 15%, Evolve: 10%

Conservative Anchor Probabilities = Life: 2%, Short: 8%, Genome: 5%, Medium: 15%, Long: 30%, Evolve: 20%

[5] Artificial Superintelligence AI Forecasting

A superintelligence is a cognitive system whose intellectual performance across all relevant domains vastly exceeds that of any human.

My Future Predictions

Pre-Singularity

1. I predict the intelligence and capabilities of AI agents will increase dramatically over the next few decades.

2. I predict more and more people will be replaced as the trained AI agents become more and more capable, eventually causing a large percentage of the population to be poor and unemployed or underemployed.

3. I predict wealth will be concentrated more and more into smaller and smaller number of hands and businesses that own these expensive trained AI agents will make tons of money. Giving them more and more power.

4. I predict the general population will fully own decreasing amount of things and will have to pay the rich to rent/use their things

5. I predict chaos, political tension, and tribalism will increase as more and more people have less and less wealth and are manipulated with more and more effective misinformation and propaganda. May eventually lead to a war or uprising of some sort. May lead to more countries to authoritarianism.

6. I predict the effectiveness of misinformation and propaganda will be orders of magnitude better than todays using trained language models and sentiment analysis. Directing the populations anger and frustrations to certain things for example. Discerning fact from fiction will be increasingly difficult.

7. I predict the companies that own and have access to computing power and data to train these large AI agents will dramatically increase in value and put many companies out of business that don't have AI agents.

8. I predict the scientists who are able to create, train, and implement these AI agents from the software side and hardware side will be some of the most valuable/most well paid people in society and will be strongly recruited by the military and government.

9. I predict the military/police will most likely get access the large AI models trained for offense and defense, especially as chaos increases and billionaires become targets. These agents will most likely be extremely effective. Not sure what form this will take.

10. I predict we will get weak AGI around 2025-2030. This is assuming no huge discontinuous jumps or large discoveries that completely shift the paradigm.

11. I predict we will get strong AGI or HLMI around 2035-2040. This is assuming no huge discontinuous jumps or large discoveries that completely shift the paradigm.

12. I predict based on the optimal scaling laws from the Chinchilla paper, companies will need an increasing amount of data to optimally train models. I predict that because of this companies will either directly or indirectly create products that extract as much data from people as possible.

13. Following #12, I predict that companies will heavily lobby for more lax data privacy laws

14. GDP will rise ____

15. Countries that are more democratic will fare better in general than those that are less due to proactive policies and more wealth distribution

Singularity

1. I predict due to the forecasted cost from Biological Anchors paper to train TAI/Singularity models (over $100 billion), it will be unlikley that a private or public company by itself will be the first to create a train TAI/Singularity models. It will most likely be a large government project spending around 1/2% to 2% of GDP working with top tech companies. This is assuming no huge discontinuous jumps or large discoveries that completely shift the paradigm.

2. I predict the first TAI/Singularity model will be from a militarized AI arms race between the top countries.

3. I predict the first TAI/Singularity model will be trained around 2035-2050. This is assuming no huge discontinuous jumps or large discoveries that completely shift the paradigm.

Post-Singularity

1. If artificial superintelligence is reached it will seem almost godlike to humans

2. I predict, if humans survive the singularity, the human race will no longer be the main ones in control. This is assuming ASI levels are reached

The singularity/TAI will probably amplify the environment around it. It will turn a bad environment to dystopian and a good environment to utopian
