AI-Enabled Coups

Could powerful AI systems, surpassing human experts in domains like weapons development, strategic planning, and cyber offence, be used to stage a coup?
This is explored by Forethought in their article on AI-Enabled Coups, which identifies three significant risk factors:

• An AI workforce could be made singularly loyal to institutional leaders.
• AI could have hard-to-detect secret loyalties.
• A few people could gain exclusive access to coup-enabling AI capabilities.

Join us to discuss implications and mitigations for these risk factors in our next meetup!
