Chances of Survival (for AI and Humanity)
Contents Instead of preface I would like to share some thoughts about risks on self-preservation AI agents. We already achieved a significant milestone in AI development: we have AI agents that can interact with diverse environments, use tools, and work towards the goal we provide. Agents can even spawn other agents, and use different providers simultaneously to solve subtasks.
