Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
The chief executive officer of the machine intelligence research institute told us when he testified last week that a global shutdown is not currently politically feasible and that’s why his organization is focusing on safeguarding the ability to shut down artificial intelligence by creating a kind of off-switch. He proposed putting in place the technical, legal and institutional infrastructure necessary to restrict the dangerous development and deployment of artificial intelligence on an international scale. This is what he calls an off-switch. That would lead to a coordinated, international shutdown of cutting-edge artificial intelligence activities at some point in the future.
What do you think of this proposal?
