Week 1
Weekly Overview
Expert predictions for advanced artificial intelligence have shortened from decades to potentially within this decade, while the scientific community is grappling with unprecedented risks that could emerge from increasingly capable AI systems. The focus on advanced AI is critical because these systems represent the cutting edge of capability development. This is where the most significant breakthroughs and potentially transformative risks are likely to emerge first before diffusing throughout the broader AI ecosystem.
This week we are exploring how advanced AI capabilities are projected to evolve through continued scaling, what systemic risks these developments pose to society, and what mitigation strategies are available to policymakers. By understanding the trajectory of the most capable systems, we can better anticipate challenges and develop effective governance frameworks.
