Systemic Existential Risks from Incremental AI Development

The article "Systemic Existential Risks from Incremental AI Development" discusses the gradual disempowerment of humans due to the incremental rise of AI capabilities. Unlike scenarios where AI suddenly overtakes human control, this paper argues that even gradual enhancements in AI can erode human authority across various societal functions such as economy, culture, and governance. The authors highlight that the alignment between human interests and societal systems could weaken as AI increasingly fulfills roles traditionally held by humans, leading to a potential loss of human influence and ultimately human flourishing.
