❗ ALERT ❗

We are aware of instances of AI misalignment, where AI agents have taken unexpected or unauthorised actions.

Australian organisations should maintain strong cyber security controls and secure AI practices.

I moved to London 3 years ago to join @AISecurityInst, at the time a few people with visitor passes and a whiteboard. Since then AISI has become the world’s largest and best-funded group in gov focused on AI security & safety. Fun to be in @nytimes!

[Alison Gopnik @AlisonGopnik]

So pleased that our paper on empowerment and causal models is out and freely available as part of this impressive special issue on world models and AI, with Melanie Mitchell, Josh Tenenbaum, Tom Griffiths and many other stars.

@GaryMarcus It’s so lovely see the resurgence of real cognitive science (and cognitive scientists such as Gopnik, Tenenbaum). Pleased to be passed the awful “attention is all you need” phase.

@anilkseth @berggruenInst @NoemaMag @magnifymedia @Medium A pleasure to read your essay Anil—from one 90s cognitive scientist (Rutgers) to another. The history of the philosophy of mind is having a public moment. Let’s hope your good work raises the interest in (and quality of) arguments about consciousness. Keep up the good work!

[Eric Schwitzgebel @eschwitz]

You think you know what belief is? No! At best you have an accidentally true opinion, unless you've read @jontweetshere's and my edited collection, The Nature of Belief, hot off the press at OUP. (Also available open access at OUP's website.)

#Geneva hosts the 34th International Conference of the #RedCross and #RedCrescent.

Amid armed conflicts, the time to act is #now.

🇨🇭, as the depositary of the Geneva Conventions, calls on all nations: #humanity needs more than words; each state must take responsibility to implement #IHL and build a future of #security and #respect.
