Latest update (11-10 18:55): Paper argues recursive AI self-improvement cannot yet be called safe

Overview: A paper argues that recursive AI self-improvement cannot yet be called safe, because the field lacks a clear model of where it leads, according to a post by Rohan Paul. The paper's author builds a 2-player game in which the AI race is a Prisoner's Dilemma only at some risk levels. At high risk, the game shows mutual restraint can be a stable outcome, per the same post.
