/* How valuable are CFP grants compared to in 2022/3? */ // DESCRIPTION // OVERVIEW // We model the probability of that CFP technologies are sufficiently incubated in the US to reach commercial scale // (or in the case of nuclear, trigger a fresh wave of nuclear fission).
/* Is it a good idea for US actors to accelerate an AI arms race with China? */ // Probability that an aligned AI has good values regardless of what its creator wants, i.e., an aligned Chinese-built AI will refuse to let China take over the world. p_aligned_ai_enforces_good_values = 0.1 // Probability that China would take over the world if it could. p_china_would_take_over_the_world = 0.6
/* * EV of AI safety technical research vs. policy advocacy, in * terms of change in probability of extinction. */ @doc( "Open Phil granted $69M on AI safety in 2023; a LW post[1] says $43M of that was on technical AI safety; but most of that was not directly funding alignment research (generously, only $28M was alignment research, the rest being forecasting/field-building/etc.). There are some other philanthropic funders, plus for-profit companies do some internal safety research. Internal research is the bulk of the money but I expect most of it is bad ex ante (e.g. fake safetywashing research). It would be feasible to estimate spending on AI 'safety' research, but harder to estimate how much of that spending is real, so I kinda just made up a number range.
