Researchers from the University of Oxford -Michael Cohen, Mike Osborne & Marcus Hutter from the Australian National University have co-authored a paper that cautions on AI Destroying Mankind. Will AI Destroy Humanity? Michael K cohen is studying a DPhil in Engineering Science with Mike Osborne at  @University of Oxford   His research considers the expected behavior of generally intelligent artificial agents & he is interested in designing agents that we can expect to behave safely.

Michael started studying AI safety after readying Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence and became convinced that the default outcome of creating an agent smarter than we are is the extinction of biological life. he got a master's in computer science with Marcus Hutter at the Australian National University. Having studied the actual math behind general intelligence since then, this has remained a major concern of his: as of 2019, from a handful of published algorithms for general intelligence that exist (but are too slow to run), every one of them would attempt to gain arbitrary power over humans. There is little reason to think that fast approximations of these algorithms will be safe by default. Michael along with Mike Osborne from #oxforduniversity & Marcus Hutter from  @Google  's  @DeepMind  has co-authored a paper titled " Advanced artificial agents intervene in the provision of reward" which posits that #artificialintelligence will most likely destroy humanity if it comes in way of its programmed reward systems.
