Self-improving Artificial Lntelligence and AI Safety
Omohundro started Self-Aware Systems in Palo Alto, California to research the technology and social implications of self-improving artificial intelligence. He was an advisor to the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence and the Lifeboat Foundation on artificial intelligence. He discovered that rational systems exhibit problematic natural "drives" that will need to be countered in order to build intelligent systems safely. His papers, talks, and videos on AI safety have generated extensive interest. He has given many talks on self-improving artificial intelligence, cooperative technology, AI safety, and connections with biological intelligence.
