“Creating Friendly AI” (2001-06-15) contests Y17. Arguing against relinquishing AI, he says that a national or near-global policy would be bypassed as rising computing power brings AI within reach of noncompliant nations and factions. Copy claim link

Date 2001-06-15 · publication Wording attested 2001-06-17. The quoted wording also appears in the 2001 HTML edition as captured on 2001-06-17; the quotation itself is taken from MIRI’s later reprint. Role Contesting Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Engagement Engages a premise. Under the message-level rule, the passage, read with the paragraph, message or dialogue turn it belongs to, gives a reason against the premise that regulation that is national, partial or not universally enforced can stop dangerous development. Scope and limits Premise addressed: Regulation that is national, partial or not universally enforced can stop dangerous development. Creating Friendly AI (2001); cached text is the current MIRI PDF reprint, wording not compared with a 2001 capture. In this text he opposed both regulation and relinquishment and favoured accelerating Friendly AI (sections 6.2.1–6.3); his 2023 and 2026 texts call for an enforced worldwide ban instead. No located passage explicitly retracts the 2001 position, so the change is not recorded as earlier-self. In 2001 he argued relinquishment was impossible in principle. In 2008 ("Fighting a Rearguard Action Against the Truth") he criticised his 2001 self for rehearsing technophilic arguments against relinquishment, and in 2023 he called for an enforced international shutdown (in TIME). The noncompliant-nations point persists (his 2026 post ‘Only Law Can Prevent Extinction’). Admission check, 2026-10-08: the quoted wording also appears in the 2001 HTML edition, so it is dated by that capture.
