📖 Description

The Transformative Potential of Artificial Intelligence Ross Gruetzemacher? and Jess Whittlestone? ? Wichita State University, W. Frank Barton School of Business, [email address redacted] ? University of Cambridge, Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence, [email address redacted] Abstract The terms ?human-level artificial intelligence? and ?artificial general intelligence? are widely used to refer to the possibility of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with potentially extreme impacts on society. These terms are poorly defined and do not necessarily indicate what is most important with respect to future societal impacts. We suggest that the term ?transformative AI? is a helpful alternative, reflecting the possibility that advanced AI systems could have very large impacts on society without reaching human-level cognitive abilities. To be most useful, however, more analysis of what it means for AI to be ?transformative? is needed. In this paper, we propose three differ...

📊 Game Impacts

Not verified in game

Which variables this event was proposed to move, and in which direction. The magnitudes are held in the corpus but are not shown here, because they have not been verified against the shipped game. They come from pdoom-data. They describe what an event was proposed to do, not what the shipped game does with it. Most events in the corpus are flavour: they are shown for colour and do not move any game variable. Only a small minority reach the systems below, and several of the variables listed here are not read by the game at all yet. Treat this table as a design proposal under review, not as a measurement of play. Corrections and arguments are welcome — the suggestion links at the foot of this page go straight to the data repo.
