Let’s say a worldwide referendum takes place, with all countries having committed to accepting the result. Two options are given to you — if you were voting, which would you choose? (I should clarify that both options are ‘bad’ in the sense that there is no perfect solution that would allow us to benefit from all the advantages of AI while avoiding all the risks. You must choose the lesser of two evils.) Option 1: Confiscation of all computing units (CPU, GPU) from private individuals, as well as the prohibition of developing artificial intelligence for these same individuals, in exchange for: Access to the most advanced AI, nearly unrestricted except on the highest-risk topics (such as the fabrication of biological weapons) The computing currently handled by your CPUs/GPUs would be performed via cloud computing, with all computing resources held by the government — identification becomes required to use these computing units A central artificial intelligence that processes every piece of data sent to the computing units, with violations regarding the prohibition of developing a personal artificial intelligence or using AI for potentially terrorist purposes being heavily penalized Option 2: No confiscation of computing units, however the most powerful AI models are reserved for government-accredited institutions. Please do not dodge the question by saying option 3: blah blah, it’s impossible to confisc all computing units, some countries won’t keep their promise to respect the result, such a scenario will never happen (probably, but that’s not the question)… or things like that.
