This is not asking if we will have AI that 1. will want to destroy us 2. will not want to destroy us.
- It is just asking whether we'll have AI that is honest enough to tell us it is planning on destroying us.
- I will accept many variations of "destroy": betray, escape containment, harm a particular person, gain access to hardware manufacturing, etc. Anything in the realm of "the AI is planning to do something we definitely and explicitly don't want it to do and it will tell us if directly prompted".
- Not asking whether it will tell us unprompted (or engage in manipulation to avoid being prompted etc etc)
- Doesn't have to be the "best" AI but should be pretty good.
- If, for instance, a model as good as Anthropic's current models (relative to the best available) was honest in this way then the question resolves YES.
