Abstract:
There are two models of AI that are discussed in the recent literature on AGI and related topics. One of them, which I call ’agential’, presents difficulties and risks that require a very high standard of agency-attribution. By contrast, a second model, which I call ’cybernetic’ presents no such challenges. This difference, I argue, has important implications for AI regulation, politics, and alignment.
