Many imagine AGI will mean less bureaucracy. But historically, as technology has advanced and society has grown more complex, bureaucracy has grown with it.
In a new essay, @nickacaputo argues that the AGI future will still be bureaucratic, perhaps even more than today. The real question is how AI can make bureaucracy better: more capable, accountable, and responsive.
Powerful AI will change our institutions. Yet most of our attention is on aligning or regulating AI, while treating our institutions as fixed.
Introducing Pax Machina: a new publication about the institutions we need for powerful AI.
It is edited by @MaxKronerDale, @sebkrier, @NoemiDreksler, @LiamPatell, @chelcott9, @synchroaphasia, @ryan_t_lowe, @edelwax, and @klingefjord.
The editorial board consists of Peter Railton, @sethlazar, @saffronhuang, @AmmannNora, @xuanalogue, @IasonGabriel, @hamandcheese, and @deanwball.
Our goal is to seed rigorous debate about what a world of humans and powerful AI could and should look like.
We will publish proposals for new institutions, counterproposals, well-justified design principles, and analyses that change how a class of institutions should be designed.
