Superintelligence AI Strategy: Deterrence, Nonproliferation, and Competitiveness
0Superintelligence Strategy: Deterrence, Nonproliferation, and Competitiveness

The provided texts discuss the *profound implications of AI superintelligence**, defined as AI vastly superior to humans across nearly all cognitive tasks, emphasizing its distinction from current machine learning and the less useful concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). They highlight three primary threats: a **geopolitical race for dominance* fueled by AI's "dual-use" nature and the pursuit of a "superweapon," the *proliferation risk to rogue actors* enabling bioterrorism and cyberattacks due to AI's "offense-dominant" capabilities, and the *erosion of human agency* through gradual dependency or uncontrolled "intelligence recursion." To navigate these challenges, the sources propose a *three-pillar strategic framework**: **deterrence* through "Mutual Assured AI Malfunction" (MAIM) to prevent a destabilizing sprint for dominance, *nonproliferation* focusing on "compute security" for AI chips and "information security" for model weights to constrain rogue actors, and *competitiveness* by investing in domestic AI chip manufacturing and establishing pragmatic legal frameworks for AI agents. This framework aims to foster a future of human-AI collaboration and collective benefit, drawing lessons from the nuclear age to manage an unprecedented technological shift.
