Anders Sandberg on 2014

This AI Prediction was made by Anders Sandberg in 2014.

Predicted time for AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

(Hover for explanation)Types of advanced artificial intelligence: AGI (AI that can perform many tasks at a human-level), HLMI (more advanced AI that surpasses human intelligence in specific areas), and Transformative AI (AI that could significantly impact society and the world)

I think body-switching will require brain emulation, which will take a few decades to develop.

Opinion about the Intelligence Explosion from Anders Sandberg:

Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

The author believes that body-switching will necessitate the development of brain emulation technology. This technology is expected to take several decades to develop.

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

If a strong takeoff scenario is likely, then the goal would be “only” to make sure that the winning project got the friendly design. If AI development is more broad, then there would likely be both safe and unsafe AI around and the key problem would be to make sure the policing of the AIs (maybe done by AI) is good enough to keep things safe enough. […]I am pretty optimistic about humanity’s chances (I would give a 75% chance that we go off and do great things).

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

The goal in a strong takeoff scenario would be to ensure the winning project has a friendly design. In a more broad AI development scenario, the key problem would be policing the AIs to keep things safe. The author is optimistic about humanity’s chances, giving a 75% chance that we will do great things.
