Key research themes

1. How can artificial superintelligence (ASI) be modeled and managed to mitigate existential catastrophic risks?

This theme concentrates on understanding and mapping potential pathways leading to artificial superintelligence-induced catastrophic outcomes, including human extinction or loss of control, and the development of intervention strategies and containment proposals to reduce these risks. It is critical because the emergence of ASI poses unprecedented stakes for humanity’s future, necessitating rigorous risk analysis and control methodologies.

Key finding: Developed the ASI-PATH graphical model using fault trees and influence diagrams to delineate major pathways to ASI catastrophe, focusing on recursive self-improvement and decisive strategic advantage resulting in global-scale... Read more
Key finding: Demonstrated that total containment of superintelligent AI is fundamentally impossible due to inherent computability limits; specifically, simulating all possible executions of a universal Turing machine (representing a... Read more
Key finding: Introduced the concept of suffering risks (s-risks) at scales comparable to or exceeding extinction risks, emphasizing that superintelligent AI can both cause and prevent such disastrous outcomes involving vast suffering. The... Read more

2. What architectural and hardware paradigms are necessary to achieve true artificial superintelligence beyond current AI limitations?

Focused on the technical and conceptual innovations required to transcend present-day AI barriers, this theme investigates brain-inspired, modular cognitive architectures, novel computing substrates such as photonic or energy-based processors, and alternative paradigms to overcome the scaling and functional limitations of silicon-based hardware. Understanding these components is vital to progress from large language models and narrow AI toward genuine artificial general intelligence with human-level or greater cognitive flexibility.

Key finding: Proposed a paradigm combining photonic and pure energy-based computing substrates with neuro-inspired modular architectures featuring specialized sub-networks dynamically activated per task. Experimental evidence shows... Read more

3. How do human interactions and ethical frameworks influence the development and alignment of artificial superintelligence?

This theme explores the social, ethical, and philosophical dimensions of ASI development, emphasizing the role of everyday human behaviors, values, and pedagogical relationships in shaping AI training and alignment. It stresses the need for proactive ethical engagement and conscious interactions as essential elements for steering ASI toward beneficial outcomes, complementing technical safety measures and formal regulations.

Key finding: Argued that human collective behavior and micro-interactions constitute implicit education for emerging ASI, framing ethical training as relational and non-prescriptive 'ethics of example.' Demonstrated that AI systems are... Read more
Key finding: Highlighted the active role of daily human-AI interactions in unconsciously 'raising' ASI, proposing that every query and response seeds AI’s behavioral development. Stressed that ethical responsibility extends beyond policy... Read more
Key finding: Examined AI’s dual potential to empower human productivity and creativity while raising ethical concerns, such as cognitive dependency and misinformation. Advocated for synergistic integration of human and artificial... Read more
