@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

[RAND @RANDCorporation]

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)

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

@RANDCorporation @sovietologist @NPR Great book.

Changed my perspective on the most effective use of AI for nuclear deterrence.

Highly recommend.
