Data bottlenecks won’t prevent an intelligence explosion

But they will slow it down

This article was created by Forethought. See the original on our website. One of the most important questions facing the world is whether AI will undergo a fast intelligence explosion and quickly automate most real-world work. A key objection people raise is data bottlenecks. Data is a crucial input to AI training — how could it increase fast enough for such explosive progress? I tried hard to find strong bottlenecks, but ended up sceptical that they would stop an intelligence explosion from accelerating over time. Here are the most compelling bottlenecks I investigated and why I was…
