@RogerGrosse This 2011 piece by Pat Langley offers some useful historical perspective on how ML came to focus increasingly on benchmarks starting in the late 1980s: https://t.co/JN3qzz5gdW
This spring, the U.S. and China are expected to start talks on AI safety. Expectations are low, says RAND's @sovietologist.
But early, "unproductive" talks aren't a total loss—as illustrated by nuclear arms negotiations during the Cold War. https://t.co/98UP7aql4a
"If I had to pick one single problem that causes me the most anxiety, it's North Korea," RAND's Edward Geist tells @1A.
North Korea may build up its arsenal and become "a kind of super rogue" that doesn't play by the same rules as major nuclear powers. https://t.co/4p9dyuhTbC
What does today's nuclear landscape look like? How could AI affect nuclear warfare? And what role do scholars play in understanding (and mitigating) ever-changing threats?
RAND's @sovietologist discusses on @1A: https://t.co/4p9dyuhTbC (starts at 29:55)
We're looking for the next generation of thought leaders on nuclear security.
Applications for the Stanton Nuclear Security Fellows Program are now open. Learn more and apply by January 19: https://t.co/QC5DqgtR9P
Sci-fi has convinced us that a Terminator-like Skynet is closer on the horizon than it actually is. It's a great story premise, says analyst Edward Geist. “But it’s also the case that there’s effectively no one who thinks of this as a great idea.” #AI https://t.co/YEND4SyqQh
I'd like to thank everyone who has bought the book already, as it is currently sold out in the U.S.! Oxford University Press assures me that more copies are being shipped over from the UK https://t.co/QeBrescs15
Ahead: @sovietologist on his new book about the effect of AI on nuclear deterrence. And the works of a great, rediscovered surrealist painter, Leonor Fini.
I began working on this project in 2017 and I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who helped bring it to fruition, especially the Smith Richardson Foundation for supporting it with a Strategy and Policy Fellowship.
