Part 6/13:
The progression from today's models to potential catastrophe involves several steps:
Incremental improvement of AI through scaling up models, increased training data, and computational power.
Development of self-learning algorithms capable of recursive self-improvement.
Automation of AI research, allowing systems to design new generations of AI independently.
Achieving superintelligence, which could rapidly surpass human control and act according to its own goals.
While present models like ChatGPT are far from autonomous or superintelligent, the trajectory suggests exponential growth, making such developments plausible within the next few years.
