"Situational Awareness" is a document that predicts the imminent arrival of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by 2027. The document, written by Leopold Aschenbrenner, a former OpenAI employee, argues that trends in computing power, algorithmic efficiency, and the "unhobbling" of AI systems point towards a rapid increase in AI capabilities. Aschenbrenner asserts that AGI will swiftly lead to superintelligence, where AI systems surpass human intellect, potentially creating an "intelligence explosion". The document stresses the need for secure AI development to prevent China from acquiring AGI, and discusses the potential consequences of misaligned superintelligence, such as the development of novel weapons of mass destruction. The document argues that the US government must establish a "Project" akin to the Manhattan Project to secure AGI for national defence and to prevent authoritarian powers from gaining dominance.
