Eliezer Yudkowsky Says Nothing Outranks a Bipartisan Push to Prevent AI Extinction

Eliezer Yudkowsky, a founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute and one of the earliest public advocates for treating superintelligent AI as an extinction threat, said on Sunday that nothing currently matters more than making a campaign to avoid dying from AI a bipartisan project rather than a Democrat-polarized issue. He begged anyone with political capital to spend it now, describing the choice as a matter of life or death.
