Research Priorities for Robust and Beneficial Artificial Intelligence (2015, background): “Research in this area could include any of the long-term research priorities listed above, as well as theoretical and forecasting work on intelligence explosion and superintelligence (Chalmers 2010; Bostrom 2014), and could extend or critique existing approaches begun by groups such as the Machine I”
The Role of Cooperation in Responsible AI Development (2019, background): “7 The possibility of discontinuous progress in AI is discussed by Good (1966), Chalmers (2009), Yudkowsky (2013), Shanahan (2015) and Bostrom (2017b).”
Thinking Inside the Box: Controlling and Using an Oracle AI (2012, background): “Virtual Worlds Another suggestion is to run the OAI not directly in our world, but as a subroutine of another program that models a virtual world [see for instance (Chalmers 2010)].”
Trust in AI: progress, challenges, and future directions (2024, unknown): “Likewise, others have suggested that mitigation strategies should be put in place using so-called “ AI boxing ” in order to ensure that large-scale social damage is avoided in cases where researchers erroneously believe they have succeeded at both projects (Chalmers, 2010).”
Superintelligence Does Not Imply Benevolence (2013, background): “Chalmers (2010) notes this question, and considers both what he calls the " Humean possibility, " in which a system's intelligence is independent of its values, and the " Kantian possibility, " in which many extremely intelligent beings would converge on (possibly benevolent) substantive normative…”
AGI Safety Literature Review (2018, background): “Chalmers (2010) makes a more careful philosophical analysis of the brain-emulation argument for AI, and shows that it defeats and/or avoids counter arguments made by Dreyfus (1972), Lucas (1961), Penrose (1994), and Searle (1980).”
Leakproofing the Singularity Artificial Intelligence Confinement Problem (2012, background): “additional controls against internal intelligence explosion (Chalmers, 2010).”
