Silicon Valley’s favourite philosophy, longtermism, has helped to frame the debate on artificial intelligence around the idea of human extinction.
Yet the movement and linked ideologies like transhumanism and effective altruism hold huge sway in universities from Oxford to Stanford and throughout the tech sector. Ultimately critics say this fringe movement is holding far too much influence over public debates over the future of humanity.Longtermists believe we are dutybound to try to produce the best outcomes for the greatest number of humans.They look to the far future and see trillions upon trillions of humans floating through space, colonising new worlds.And because there are so many of them, they carry much more weight than today’s specimens.
If a superintelligent machine could be about to spring to life with the potential to destroy humanity, longtermists are bound to oppose it no matter the consequences.
