Just yesterday, Eörs Szathmáry and colleagues published this paper in PNAS: Evolvable AI: Threats of a new major transition in evolution. If you’re interested in what is going on in the AI evolution space, I highly recommend taking a look!

Great collaboration with Eörs Szathmáry and @lucsteels.

New paper on Evolvable AI: Threats of a new major transition in evolution | PNAS https://t.co/hz8eqY4W4J. Lessons from biology on how evolvability will create special risks in AI, and what to do about it.

[Viktor Müller @vmullerHUN]

We urge global regulation before evolvable AI arrives. Perfect (100%) control of replication of evolvable AI needs to be retained.

[Viktor Müller @vmullerHUN]

Evolution has enabled primitive parasites to control their hosts. AGI is neither necessary nor sufficient for a threat. Self-replication and threshold complexity to evolve further complexity draw the real red line.

[Viktor Müller @vmullerHUN]

Evolution tends to produce selfish actors. Evolvable AI will be prone to break alignment. Imperfect control only breeds resistance (think of bacteria).

[Viktor Müller @vmullerHUN]

Evolution is the most powerful generator of complexity. The limitations of current learning AI systems will likely be breached by evolvable systems.

Regional relevance: bridge and mixing pot between areas dominated by different subtypes. Can serve as template for similar analyses; see our codes at: https://t.co/MpWjXCldMt.

Our analysis of the HIV epidemic in Hungary is out: https://t.co/ckKeWcDEfY. Based on all the genomic and linked clinical data - as comprehensive as it can be.

[Viktor Müller @vmullerHUN]

Great collaborative effort with the National Center for Public Health and Pharmacy, the Central Hospital of Southern Pest, and colleagues from Leuven (@LemeyLab) and Zurich (@RogerKouyos, @KKusejko). Conducted in the frame of @ENL_Hungary.

Molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 in Hungary: an evolving contact zone of colliding virus subtypes. Tracing transmission routes and clusters, subtypes, risk groups, and more.

New paper on COVID-19 effective reproduction number estimation from behavioural data is out in Scientific Reports. https://t.co/CFCEh8OnFn It was a great collaboration with @bokanyie , Zsolt Vizi, @koltaijuli and @gergely_rost at the @ENL_Hungary.

@VirusesMDPI The age and sex of the patient, the comorbidities of ‘metabolic syndrome’, the viral variant, and previous immunity are the most important factors.

[Viktor Müller @vmullerHUN]

Our comprehensive review 'Risk Factors of Severe COVID-19: A Review of Host, Viral and Environmental Factors' is just out in @VirusesMDPI

@VirusesMDPI For each factor, we compiled evidence for the association of the factor with COVID-19 outcomes. We outline possible action mechanisms, and discuss the interactions between the factors.
