Safety​
AI is advancing rapidly, growing more capable and intelligent every day. Many developers are now pursuing a system that surpasses human intelligence in every domain — Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
RAISE-UP calls on AI developers to demonstrate that AGI is trustworthy, safe, and controllable before it is built or deployed. Fortunately, we know how to do that. America and it's companies do not need to rush toward AGI to experience the extraordinary benefits that a responsible, and an even better artificial intelligence than what we have today, can offer now and in the future.

"There is a scenario in which building AGI may go well for humanity: it is built carefully, under control and for the benefit of humanity, governed by mutual agreement of many stakeholders, and prevented from evolving to uncontrollable superintelligence." Keep the Future Human

"Make a hammer, you can build a technological use to build a home and it can also be used to bash Abel and Cain's heads in. That I think is true across the board for all technology changes throughout the ages. Gunpowder can be used to fight wars and be used to build tunnels. I think the same is true for things that are on the horizon today including artificial intelligence, genetic engineering and so on and so forth." Nobel Prize Winning Acceptance Speech (Minute 16)
