This treaty proposal to curb AI development is overly cautious, restricting beneficial advancements to address a speculative risk. Even if enforceable, it prioritizes hypothetical safety over responsible development practices that could mitigate real risks. The document also dodges the philosophical challenge of assigning value to artificial life.
The writing, while well-structured, leans towards alarmism. It emphasizes a potential threat (LLMs in biological robots) without a strong basis for the level of urgency. Phrases like “utopian vision” and “existential risks” color the discussion emotionally. A more neutral tone and a clearer presentation of the current state of the technology would strengthen the argument.
