Scope
As Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) rapidly reshapes our world, and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) becomes a real possibility, we are faced with many pressing questions, such as:
- How will AI impact human communication, friendship, education, ethics, cooperation, and conflict?
- How do we ensure AI safety when human behavior and cognitive limitations form an attack vector?
- What is the impact of AI on human innovation and culture?
- Are there lessons from biology or political science to inform how humans can control a more powerful intelligence?
We believe answering these, and many related, questions requires deep collaboration between AI scientists and behavioral scientists from across disciplines. We aim to collaboratively chart research priorities, foster community ties, and catalyze interdisciplinary efforts to study machine behavior and human-machine behavioral dynamics across scales and over various time horizons. Only by better measuring and understanding machine behavior can we ultimately control it.
