The post argues that AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose significant risks to society and humanity. Although acknowledged by top AI labs and extensive research, there is a lack of planning and management in the development and deployment of these systems. The post raises questions about the potential consequences of allowing machines to flood information channels, automate jobs, and develop non-human minds that may eventually outnumber and outsmart humans. 

The authors call on AI labs to immediately pause for at least six months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 and jointly develop a set of shared safety protocols for advanced AI design and development. These protocols should be rigorously audited and overseen by independent outside experts. AI developers should work with policymakers to accelerate the development of robust AI governance systems. 

These governance systems should include new regulatory authorities dedicated to AI, oversight and tracking of highly capable AI systems, and liability for AI-caused harm. The authors believe that society can enjoy a flourishing future with AI if the development and deployment of these systems are managed and planned with commensurate care and resources.
