Geoffrey Irving calls for a pause in developing smarter-than-human AI.
He co-founded Resolution, an independent research organization formed from teams at the UK's AISI and Timaeus.
Resolution, which Irving co-founded, combines theoretical and empirical research. The organization aims to develop stronger reasons for confidence in safety and accelerate research using AI.
Its launch statement acknowledges that these approaches could fail or arrive too late. The program is a research objective, not evidence that AI has been made safe.
