If we adopted really strict adherence to that rule as the bar to research, there would be no scientific progress at all. I'm not convinced that would be a desirable thing.
well, the clever solution here is not to demand a stop to all AI research, but rather to speed it up to reduce the chance that a single bad actor will get too far ahead... i.e., to get "post-singularity" ASAP, and safely.
Definitely bold... might be just crazy enough to work! Would love to see the arguments laid out in a white paper.
Reminds me of the question of how far ahead in cryptology is the NSA compared to the open research community.
