Instrumental convergence and power-seeking
A philosophical paper challenges the instrumental convergence thesis—the claim that advanced AI systems will inherently seek power as a means to achieving diverse goals. The author argues that existing defenses of this thesis are insufficient to support concerns about power-seeking AI posing existential risks to humanity, with implications for AI governance and longtermism research.
