Brain-like AGI and why it's Dangerous (with Steven Byrnes)

On this episode, Steven Byrnes joins me to discuss brain-like AGI safety. We discuss learning versus steering systems in the brain, the distinction between controlled AGI and social-instinct AGI, why brain-inspired approaches might be our most plausible route to AGI, and honesty in AI models. We also talk about how people can contribute to brain-like AGI safety and compare various AI safety strategies.   You can learn more about Steven's work at: https://sjbyrnes.com/agi.html   Timestamps:   00:00 Preview   00:54 Brain-like AGI Safety  13:16 Controlled AGI versus Social-instinct AGI   19:12 Learning from the brain   28:36 Why is brain-like AI the most likely path to AGI?   39:23 Honesty in AI models   44:02 How to help with brain-like AGI safety   53:36 AI traits with both positive and negative effects   01:02:44 Different AI safety strategies
