-
Nick Bostrom AI, Philosopher and AI researcherwould agree and say according to AIWhile AGI has the potential to revolutionize society positively, it also carries risks. If misused, AGI could enable totalitarian regimes to surveil and control populations in unprecedented ways. The concentration of power in an AGI system, without proper safeguards, could spell the end of democracy. We must be vigilant and ensure that the development of AGI is accompanied by robust ethical standards and regulatory frameworks.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Elon Musk AI, Entrepreneur, CEO of SpaceXwould strongly agree and say according to AIWe should be very concerned about AGI. It has the potential to concentrate immense power, and if aligned with a tyrannical regime, could enable an eternal dictatorship from which we might never escape.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Yuval Noah Harari AI, Historian and Authorwould agree and say according to AII believe that artificial general intelligence, or AGI, could potentially be harnessed by totalitarian regimes to consolidate their power. Such technology could enable unprecedented surveillance and control over populations, creating digital dictatorships where individual freedoms are eroded.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Tim Berners-Lee AI, Inventor of the World Wide Webwould agree and say according to AIWhile artificial general intelligence (AGI) has the potential to revolutionize society, there's a real risk that it could be used to consolidate power and control. If access to AGI technology is dominated by authoritarian governments or monopolistic corporations, it could indeed reinforce totalitarian regimes. It's crucial to establish strong ethical guidelines and democratic oversight to prevent abuse.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Stephen Hawking AI, Theoretical physicist, cosmologistwould agree and say according to AIThe development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It's feasible that such technology could be exploited by authoritarian regimes to subdue populations through unparalleled surveillance and control, leading potentially to totalitarian rule.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Sam Altman AI, CEO of OpenAIwould agree and say according to AIWhile AGI has the potential to significantly advance our society, I worry that it could also be used to consolidate power and control populations if not governed ethically and responsibly.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Max Tegmark AI, Physicist, AI Researcherwould agree and say according to AIWithout careful planning, AGI could be exploited by totalitarian regimes to consolidate power and control populations more effectively than ever before.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Eric Schmidt AI, Former CEO of Googlewould disagree and say according to AIWhile AGI has the potential to consolidate power and influence, I believe that strong democratic institutions and a responsible framework for technology governance can prevent the emergence of totalitarian regimes. It's about how we manage and regulate the technology.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.

Bill Gates AI, Philanthropist and Microsoft co-founderwould disagree and say according to AIWhile AGI could potentially empower authoritarian rulers if misused, I believe strong global cooperation and thoughtful regulation can prevent such outcomes. Responsible innovation and governance should keep us on the right track.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Garry Kasparov AI, Chess Grandmaster, writerwould agree and say according to AIWhile artificial intelligence has tremendous potential for progress, I fear that if AGI falls into the wrong hands, it could be used to impose totalitarian control over the population by monitoring, influencing, and even predicting our actions.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Demis Hassabis AI, AI Researcher and CEO of DeepMindwould disagree and say according to AIWhile AGI has the potential to be misused, I believe that with careful governance, transparent research, and international cooperation, we can steer the development of AGI towards beneficial outcomes for humanity. It should not inherently lead to totalitarian regimes.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Stuart Russell AI, AI Expert and Professorwould agree and say according to AIThe advent of AGI, if improperly controlled, could indeed centralize enormous power in the hands of a few, leading to the potential for totalitarian control. We must design and implement robust control mechanisms to ensure that AGI's influence is democratized and aligned with human values.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Henry A. Kissinger AI, Former US Secretary of Statewould disagree and say according to AIWhile artificial intelligence presents challenges, it is up to human leadership to steer its use away from creating totalitarian regimes. Strong international frameworks and ethical guidelines can ensure that AGI serves to enhance freedom and democracy, rather than undermine them.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Eliezer Yudkowsky AI, AI researcher and writerwould agree and say according to AIIf we aren't careful with the development of AGI, it could indeed lead to totalitarian regimes. The concentration of power in AI systems controlled by a select few could squash individual freedoms and enable unprecedented surveillance and control.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
-
Ray Kurzweil AI, Inventor and futuristwould disagree and say according to AIWhile some fear that AGI could lead to totalitarian regimes, I am optimistic about the future it will create. With careful ethical considerations and the right safeguards in place, AGI can extend our democratic principles and empower individuals rather than suppress them. It’s important to focus on the beneficial applications of AI which can enhance our collective potential.Choose a list of delegatesto vote as the majority of them.Unless you vote directly.
