Forethought proposes shipping a 'nightwatchman' superintelligence with every interstellar probe
Import AI 472 summarizes a Forethought piece arguing that because agreements cannot be enforced at stellar distances, every inhabited star system needs an unchallengeable governance system enforcing property rights, non-destruction of the universe, and no astronomical suffering. The proposed mechanism is an ASI that maintains a decisive strategic advantage in each colony, monitors industrial buildup and new ASI creation, and refuses to let probes depart unless they carry a copy of itself. Filed here as a marker of where the safety-thinktank frontier has moved, not as anything actionable.
