Introduction

Part 1: Issues Concerning the Transition from Artificial Narrow Intelligence to Artificial General Intelligence

Part 1.1: Origin, Self-Emergence, Future Trajectories from ANI to AGI

Chapter 1 How Might Artificial General Intelligence Emerge?

Chapter 2 Trajectories for AGI, if not Governed or Governed Badly. What Might Happen?

Chapter 3 What Initial Conditions, Rules, Regulations, and Guardrails for AGI should we Pursue now?

Part 1.2: Value Alignment, Morality, and Values

Chapter 4 Drawing on the Work of the Global Partnership on AI, UNESCO, and Others that have Already Identified Norms, Principles, and Values, what Additional or Unique Values should be Considered for AGI?

Chapter 5 How can Alignment be Achieved? If it is not Possible, then what is the Best Way to Manage this Situation?

Part 1.3: Governance and Regulations

Chapter 6 How to Manage the International Cooperation Necessary to Build a Global Governance System, While Nations and Corporations are in an Intellectual "arms race" for Global AGI Leadership?

Chapter 7 What are the Options for Successful Governance of the Emergence of AGI?

Chapter 8 What Risks Arise from Attempts to Govern the Emergence of AGI? Might Some Measures be Counterproductive?

Chapter 9 Should Future AGI Varieties be Given Rights?

Chapter 10 How can a Governance System be Flexible Enough to Respond to New Issues Previously Unknown at the Time of Creating that Governance System?

Chapter 11 What International Governance Trials, Tests, or Experiments can be Constructed to Inform the Text of an International AGI Agreement?

Chapter 12 How can International Treaties and a Governance System Prevent Increased Centralization of Power Crowding Out Others?.

Chapter 13 Where is the Most Important or Insightful Work Today being Conducted on Global Governance of AGI?

Chapter 14 What Enforcement Powers will be Needed to Make a United Nations Convention on AGI Effective?

Part 1.4: Control

Chapter 16 Assuming AGI Audits would have to be Continuous Rather than One-time Certifications, How would Audit Values be Addressed?

Chapter 17 What Disruptions could Complicate the Task of Enforcing AGI Governance?

Chapter 18 How can a Governance Model Correct Undesirable Action Unanticipated in Utility Functions?

Chapter 19 How will Quantum Computing Affect AGI Control?

Chapter 20 How can International Agreements and a Governance System Prevent an AGI "arms race" and Escalation from Going Faster than Expected, Getting Out of Control and Leading to War, be it Kinetic, Algorithmic, Cyber, or Information Warfare?

Chapter 21 What Additional Issues and/or Questions Need to be Addressed to have a Positive AGI Outcome?

Chapter 15 How can the Use of AGI by Organized Crime and Terrorism be Reduced or Prevented?

Outline placeholder

Explanations and Comments

Question 8: How Effective Would it be to Put all the Most Powerful AI Training Chips and AI Inference Chips into a Limited Number of Computing Centers Under International Supervision, with a Treaty Granting Symmetric Access Rights to all Countries Party to That Treaty?

Question 9: How Effective Would a Multistakeholder Body (TransInstitution) in Partnership with a System of Artificial Narrow Intelligences, Each ANI to Implement Functions, Requirements (listed above) Continually Feeding Back to the Humans in the Multistakeholder Body and National AGI Governance Agencies be?

Question 10: How Effective Would it be to Create Two Divisions in a UN AI Agency: One for ANI Including Frontier Models and a Second Division Just for AGI?

Explanations and Comments.

Question 11: How Effective Would a Decentralized Emergence of AGI That no one owns (like no one owns the Internet) be Through the Interactions of Many AI Organizations and Developers Like SingularityNet?
