    Why the first AGI is unlikely to be Friendly AI: Even if it was somehow possible with our primitive tools to design self-awareness into an AI, it is worth noting that the vast majority of AI under development is not being designed to be Friendly AI so we need to be prepared for the first AGI to not be inherently “friendly”.

  • Our InfoPreserver program is designed to preserve the information created by our civilization, including technology, art, and culture.
     
    This program is insurance against many of the threats we study and attempt to mitigate in other Lifeboat Foundation programs. If some threat should occur and we are not successful it preventing it, InfoPreserver may be a key to our civilization's rebound.
