AI X Risk

AI x-risk research investigates the potential for artificial intelligence to pose existential threats to humanity, focusing on both sudden catastrophic events and the gradual erosion of societal stability through accumulating smaller risks. Current research emphasizes developing frameworks for analyzing and mitigating these risks, drawing upon established safety engineering principles and exploring the trade-offs between AI capabilities and safety. This field is crucial for informing responsible AI development and deployment, aiming to maximize benefits while minimizing the potential for catastrophic outcomes.
