Are we Doomed to an AI Race? Why Self-Interest Could Drive Countries Towards a Moratorium on Superintelligence
Edward Roussel, Lode Lauwaert, Torben Swoboda +4
This paper uses game theory to argue that, contrary to the prevailing view, a moratorium on Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) can be in a state's self-interest. By formalizing tra…
How are Scientific Concepts Birthed? Typing Rules of Concept Formation in Theoretical Physics Reasoning
Omar Aguilar, Anthony Aguirre
This work aims to formalize some of the ways scientific concepts are formed in the process of theoretical physics discovery. Since this may at first seem like a task beyond the sco…
Keep the Future Human: Why and How We Should Close the Gates to AGI and Superintelligence, and What We Should Build Instead
Anthony Aguirre
Dramatic advances in artificial intelligence over the past decade (for narrow-purpose AI) and the last several years (for general-purpose AI) have transformed AI from a niche acade…
Modeling the Past Hypothesis: A Mechanical Cosmology
Jordan Scharnhorst, Anthony Aguirre
There is a paradox in the standard model of cosmology. How can matter in the early universe have been in thermal equilibrium, indicating maximum entropy, but the initial state also…
How generic is eternal inflation?
Ross N Greenwood, Anthony Aguirre
Everlasting inflation has far-reaching implications for cosmology and the standing of self-localizing inferences made by observers, which have been subjects of renewed interest in…
State-to-State Cosmology: a new view on the cosmological arrow of time and the past hypothesis
J. M. Deutsch, Anthony Aguirre
Cosmological boundary conditions for particles and fields are often discussed as a Cauchy problem, in which configurations and conjugate momenta are specified on an "initial" time…
