When can the world expect “superhuman AIs”? Yoshua Bengio now estimates that it could be between a few years and a couple of decades. “Are we prepared for this possibility?”
into artificial intelligence heading? Is it all beneficial for humanity, or are there risks big enough that we need to make more effort to understand them and develop countermeasures? I believe the latter is true.
The human brain is a biological machine, so it should be feasible to build machines at least as intelligent.
How might such catastrophes arise? There are always misguided or ill-intentioned people, so it seems highly probable that at least one organisation or person would—intentionally or not—misuse a powerful tool once it became widely available.becomes publicly known and the model downloadable and usable with the resources accessible to a mid-sized company, as is currently the case with open-source—but fortunately not superhuman—large language models.
First, the world’s governments and legislatures must adopt national rules, and co-ordinate international ones, that safeguard the public against allsystems with dangerous capabilities; and require thorough evaluation of potential harm with independent audits, with at least the same level of scrutiny as that applied to the pharmaceutical, aviation and nuclear industries.
Considering the immense potential for damage, we should make investments to safeguard our future comparable to, if not exceeding, past investments in the space programme or current investments in nuclear fusion.

Evidence from the first Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs) randomised controlled trial in India: SMAs increase the satisfaction, knowledge, and medication compliance of patients with glaucomaIn Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs), patients with similar conditions meet the physician together and each receives one-on-one attention. SMAs can improve outcomes and physician productivity. Yet privacy concerns have stymied adoption. In physician-deprived nations, patients’ utility from improved access may outweigh their disutility from loss of privacy. Ours is to our knowledge the first SMA trial for any disease, in India, where doctors are scarce. In a 1,000-patient, single-site, randomized controlled trial at Aravind Eye Hospital, Pondicherry, we compared SMAs and one-on-one appointments, over four successive visits, for patients with glaucoma. We examined patients’ satisfaction, knowledge, intention-to-follow-up, follow-up rates, and medication compliance rates (primary outcomes) using intention-to-treat analysis. Of 1,034 patients invited between July 12, 2016 –July 19, 2018, 1,000 (96.7%) consented to participate, and were randomly assigned to either SMAs (NSMA=500) or one-on-one appointments (N1-1=500). Patients who received SMAs showed higher satisfaction (MeanSMA=4.955 (SD 0.241), Mean1-1=4.920 (SD 0.326); difference in means 0.035; 95% CI, 0.017–0.054, p=0.0002) and knowledge (MeanSMA=3.416 (SD 1.340), Mean1-1=3.267 (SD 1.492); difference in means 0.149; 95% CI, 0.057–0.241, p=0.002) than patients who received one-on-one appointments. Across conditions, there was no difference in patients’ intention-to-follow-up (MeanSMA=4.989 (SD 0.118), Mean1-1=4.986 (SD 0.149); difference in means 0.003; 95% CI, -0.006–0.012, p=0.481) and actual follow-up rates (MeanSMA=87.5% (SD 0.372), Mean1-1=88.7% (SD 0.338); difference in means -0.012; 95% CI, -0.039–0.015, p=0.377). Patients who received SMAs exhibited higher medication compliance rates (MeanSMA=97.0% (SD 0.180), Mean1-1=94.9% (SD 0.238); difference in means 0.020; 95% CI, 0.004–0.036, p=0.013). SMAs improved satisfaction, learning, and medication compliance, without compromising follow-up rates or measured cl
