I’m not sure if anybody picked up on this yesterday already, but AI 2027 in large part is called such because it’s the pivotal point in AI development where it’s our last chance to prevent the worst possible outcome. From my understanding, a large part of this has to do with the fact that the authors believed at that time that AI research would be automated in 2027. Since then, at least one of the paper’s authors, Daniel Kokotajlo, has publicly said that he has pushed back his timeline about a year. If you watched the OpenAI talk yesterday, you probably noticed that they plan on having automated AI research in 2028. Obviously, these two opinions align. I just wanted to raise this consistency in case no one else has. It seems that Daniel’s projections are generally on track.
