Researcher Ajeya Cotra Warns About AI Obsolescence Regime

“The obsolescence regime is a world where it’s very hard to have any power if you were to refuse to listen to AI systems and insist on doing everything with just human intelligence.”
– AI researcher Ajeya Cotra, on a “potential future end point with AI systems” outlined in her and Kelsey Piper’s blog Planned Obsolescence. “If you are a military general in a hot war you’ll have to listen to your AI advisor; if you’re an engineer you’ll have to make use of AI scientists,” explains Cotra. “It’s a world where it’s impossible to compete without AI.”
