We may soon live in a world with billions of AGIs

We are not prepared for this.

There are many technical questions how to ensure advanced AI systems are safe and secure. However, there are also many broader societal questions for how we build institutions that can manage risks, opportunities, and impacts. This blog focuses on societal adaptation to advanced AI ranging from international institutions, to economics, to social relations, to geopolitics.

Some of the things that I write about:

A post-labor economy

The AGI economy series argues that AGI might drastically reduce the role of human labor in the economy and examines solutions from UBI, to sovereign wealth funds, to pension funds, to international tax treaties, to resource rents for space resources.

Analogies and institutions

Is AI like electricity? Like aliens? Like the Industrial Revolution? Like the atomic bomb? Do we need a CERN for AI? An IPCC for AI? The AI analogy series is here to examine how we think about our AI future.

Society and geopolitics

What does it mean if millions of children have AI companions? What political ideologies might shape the take-off? How do we manage the geopolitics of AGI?
