Jeg så et sted, du anbefalede at for at undgå det værst tænkelige, skulle vi ‘give’ AI ‘maternal instincts’. Jeg er enig! Empati, omsorg for andre og selvrefleksion. Kan vi ‘tilføje det/korrigere de fremtidige modeller, er vi formodentlig bedre stillet som menneskehed ♥️
I am finishing a book with @patchenbarss that gives a non-technical explanation of how AI works and explains why it is dangerous and what we should do about it.

Penguin has moved up the publication date of my new book with Patchen Barss called "Smarter Than Us". The book explains how AI works for a non-technical reader and then talks about the myriad risks and what to do about them.
🚨Geoffrey Hinton called Donald Trump a 'corrupt, senile felon' and said his attempt to rename AI as superintelligence shows he understands almost nothing about the technology, in a new Guardian interview.
He said Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen 'don’t believe in democracy', see themselves as 'Übermenschen', and view Trump as a 'useful instrument' to control society.
Hinton also warned: 'Now we’re creating alien beings' and we 'only have a couple of years to adapt to that'.
Anthropic said its experiments suggested small AI models may be months away from being capable enough to self-replicate on commercial internet-of-things devices, such as smart ovens and off-brand Android TV boxes https://t.co/A8YYUU3Ycq
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon warns that AI companies ‘don’t fully control’ their models and are pushing ahead too quickly.
Speaking to the New York City council, Coxon says AI systems will soon be able to improve themselves, making human research redundant.
The idea of an intelligence explosion caused by recursive self improvement has been around for a long time but until very recently it did not seem imminent. Now many leading researchers think it may happen quite soon. You can read our paper about it here:

Geoffrey Hinton, a Nobel laureate known as the “Godfather of AI,” issues an ominous warning to lawmakers: Congress may only have one year left to implement safeguards on AI before it loses control of it. https://t.co/2mTDMtqghx
@hilbertspaess I have no questions. Just wanted to make sure you're doing okay man. Huge whirlwinds of attention, harassment, conspiracies etc like what you experienced are not easy to go through.
Mad respect for you and how you handled all of this 🫡
Many many people have reached out with questions and concerns over the last few days. I haven’t been able to respond as much as I’d like.
AMA! Drop questions below.
"I agree with President Trump's tweet that global warming doomsday scenarios were overplayed."
Former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon tells @seanhannity that past catastrophic warnings have amounted to "fear mongering," but argues AI is different because of how quickly the technology is advancing.
"We won't have time to respond to it before it's too late."
Stephen Hawking warned us 11 years ago:
"I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race"
"Once humans develop artificial intelligence, it will take off on its and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate"
“Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded."
Sam Altman says Trump and Xi would win the Nobel Peace Prize for a one-page AI agreement
“I think Presidents Trump and Xi would get the Nobel Peace Prize together if they could agree on something that should be easy to agree to. And it would be wonderful.”
“I think that clearly the two countries are going to compete in lots of ways, and this is going to be important socioeconomically, geopolitically. But they should be able to agree that no one should be taking a certain level of risk with the development process of this.”
“And even if just the US and China could agree on some shared standards and testing for development of this technology, I think that'd be a wonderful accomplishment that the two of them can deliver.”
“I don’t think this is hard. This is like a one page document.”
Proud of this statement from Dario on pacing - as anyone close to the technology knows, AI seems to be on a trajectory to progress far faster than the rate at which society can adapt to its capabilities and risks. AI is an amazingly positive technology - and an incredibly powerful one. For us to truly benefit from it we need to treat it seriously.
We need to find ways to slow the frontier of development, such that we can better deal with collective action problems and buy ourselves more time for understanding the properties of these systems and how they need to be handled.
On a personal note, as a parent of young children, it is an everyday crazymaking occurrence to reflect on how little the development of literal superintelligence is regulated relative to the food and toys I buy for my children.
There's something deeply philosophical about the importance of human understanding in a world where most work is done by AI.
Terence Tao's whole point in the letter isn't that AI is universally bad, but that it should be used in a way that complements the advancement of human understanding rather than doing work (like solving math proofs) for its own sake.
You can obviously use AI to help accelerate research and understanding, but the point here is that you also don't have to in order to get things done.
As someone who's largely optimistic about AI, I don't have concrete opinions on this matter yet, but I empathize with the broader question of how deeply humans should strive to understand the world vs. fully offloading it to others.
Twenty-five Fields Medal winners have published a joint declaration warning about what they see as a severe misalignment between AI companies and the mathematics community.
@GMB There's something very unsettling about the way there's no human-like emotion in her answers, especially in her facial expressions. It just doesn't feel right.
It kind of gives us the feeling that this A.I. avatar is hiding something, and it's not a soul, only code.
Susanna and Ed have had their fair share of strange interviews, but today could take the cake.
They interviewed Tilly Norwood, an actor created entirely using artificial intelligence, who will star in a feature film titled Misaligned.
It comes amid alarming warnings that AI could kill humans in the next decade. But Tilly said she has no plans for world domination.
Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon says the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." He tells Anderson what he finds "most scary is if AI is used to make itself more intelligent" and warns these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology."
