Inference — The AGI Magazine

The organisation of the modern world is deeply anchored on human capital. In the best sense, a large fraction of the civilisational project has been to create more leverage for human talent, and to foster and select for; human capital. There is a lot more work to be done to prepare for the invention of intelligences greater than our own.

This is the purpose of Inference, our new magazine on AI progress.

Our first edition has three pieces:

  • How much economic growth should we expect from AI, how soon?

  • AGI is an engineering problem; an argument that all the necessary ideas for human-level AI are in place.

  • on o1; a guide to the new axis of technical progress

We will publish a new edition every six weeks, with technical explainers on the ‘view from inside the models’; industrial policy proposals for an AGI-serious UK; policy analysis of the tradeoffs and potential free-wins in preventing risks from AI; post-AGI economic planning to prepare for much different economic scenarios; political philosophy for superintelligence, to think harder about what success would look like, and what might lead us to miss out on this.
