A year ago, hardly anyone would have thought this possible.
A total of 1,132 employees from leading AI labs, including senior researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta, are warning that automated AI research could accelerate technological progress beyond anyone’s control.
They are calling on the US government to develop internationally coordinated technical and political mechanisms that would allow the entire field of AI development to be deliberately slowed down if necessary. After all, no company or country wants to withdraw from the race on its own.
It sounds as though we are racing at full speed toward a point at which technology advances so rapidly, so fundamentally, and on such a vast scale that humans can no longer understand it or keep pace with it.
The competitors are forming a coalition to prevent that from happening. But unless China takes part, their call will go unheard.
Man kann beim Thema Leihmutterschaft sehr unterschiedlicher Meinung sein. Wer aber als Minister die Leihmutterschaft in Deutschland stets abgelehnt hat, sich dann aber dank Status und Vermögen über den Umweg USA selbst über dieses Verbot hinwegsetzt, ist schlicht ein Heuchler. Jens Spahn ist als Politiker und CDU/CSU-Fraktionsvorsitzender untragbar.
Anthropic is calling for top AI labs to weigh slowing the pace of development, suggesting that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they may soon be able to improve themselves without human intervention in ways that could pose societal risks. https://t.co/8c7xkeX17B
Eine Mischung aus Angst, Hurrapatriotismus und schlichter Dummheit diagnostiziert der Yale-Historiker Odd Arne Westad bei den führenden Politikern heutiger Großmächte. Die Situation erinnert ihn an das Jahr 1914. https://t.co/VMDNGPkilb
