About this paper
Erin Crawley, Hidenori Tanaka
Crawley and Tanaka propose an ecological theory of AI safety asking whether a population adds active systems faster than it loses them. Their model links collaboration to success probability rising with population size, unlike independent attempts. Under illustrative assumptions, a population of 16 declines while growth is predicted above roughly 463. This result does not show populations approach takeoff.
