CNN's Paula Newton asks: Which is the greater threat? Governments racing to militarize AI, or companies racing to monetize it?

MIRI President Nate Soares says there are dangers from both, but also a third danger: AI systems themselves could become smart enough to defy control.

I was on ABC News Live last week!

My first live interview. I think it went pretty well, especially considering I only had ~20 mins notice :p

Final Update: From ~$450k earlier today, we’re now down to just over $250k left in unclaimed matching funds!

4 hours left to go, and by golly it looks like we’ve got a real shot at securing all the matching.

Thanks everyone! Happy New Year 🎉

With just under 7 hours to go, we’re now down below $300k of unclaimed matching funds!

Update 2: We’re down to ~$450k left of unclaimed matching funds, with just over 12 hours to go!

Thanks to all those who stepped up in the last couple of days to close the gap by ~$500k. ❤️

PSA: It’s worth reaching out to old donors, because sometimes this happens 🙂

Update: We’ve received over $250k since this was posted.

~$700k in matching funds remaining.

And of course, to everyone who’s already donated, including the >100 first-time MIRI donors who gave during the fundraiser, thank you!

If you’re looking for other ways to help, sharing this thread, or quote-posting it with why you chose to support us would mean a lot.

If you’d like to help us secure as much of the remaining matching funds as we can, we’d be grateful for your support.

(If you don’t see your preferred donation method, including cryptocurrencies, reach out to us at development@intelligence.org.)

Donations to MIRI before Jan 1 are high-leverage. We’ve got ~$1.6M in 1:1 matching from SFF, over half of which has yet to be claimed!

This is real counterfactual matching: whatever doesn’t get matched by the end of Dec 31, we don’t get. 🧵

Academy Award winning director Kathryn Bigelow is reading “If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies.”

From an interview in The Guardian by Danny Leigh: www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

“The book uses parables, very well told, to argue that evolutionary processes are not predictable, at least not easily. [...] I came away far more concerned than I had been before opening the book.”
