arXiv Forum: How do we make accessible research papers a reality?

If research isn't accessible, can we really call it "Open" Science?
In response to the high interest in this event we have expanded our

    Abstract: As progress in AI continues to advance, it is important
    to know how advanced systems will make choices and in what ways
    they may fail. Machines can already outsmart humans in some
    domains, and understanding how to safely build ones which may
    have capabilities at or above the human level is of particular
    concern. One might suspect that artificially generally
    intelligent (AGI) and artificially superintelligent (ASI) will be
    systems that humans cannot reliably outsmart. As a challenge to
    this assumption, this paper presents the Achilles Heel hypothesis
    which states that even a potentially superintelligent system may
    nonetheless have stable decision-theoretic delusions which cause
    them to make irrational decisions in adversarial settings. In a
    survey of key dilemmas and paradoxes from the decision theory
    literature, a number of these potential Achilles Heels are
    discussed in context of this hypothesis. Several novel
    contributions are made toward understanding the ways in which
    these weaknesses might be implanted into a system.
