☢️ Christopher Nolan on OpenAI:
"And they have the greatest sales pitch in the world, which is, "This is a really dangerous thing. Maybe we shouldn't put it out there." So now everyone wants it. Doesn't mean there isn't a real danger here, because I feel that there is. But I personally, and this is just my opinion, I identify the danger as the abdication of responsibility" #AI #OpenAI #ChatGPT https://www.wired.com/story/christopher-nolan-oppenheimer-ai-apocalypse/
OpenAI wants regulation for its competition but not for itself. I'm shocked. 🙄
I've been saying since the big AI players made their call for regulation that what they actually wanted was for regulators to strangle their nascent competitors for them. And here's the proof.
"The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has repeatedly spoken of the need for global AI regulation.
But behind the scenes, OpenAI has lobbied for significant elements of the most comprehensive AI legislation in the world—the E.U.’s AI Act—to be watered down in ways that would reduce the regulatory burden on the company, according to documents about OpenAI’s engagement with E.U. officials obtained by TIME from the European Commission via freedom of information requests." #ai https://time.com/6288245/openai-eu-lobbying-ai-act/

¿Os acordáis de la regulación de la inteligencia artificial que votó el Parlamento Europeo la semana pasada? Pues hoy Time publica una exclusiva: resulta que #OpenAI, la empresa detrás de #ChatGPT, estuvo haciendo lobby para descafeinarla. ¡Sorpresa! ¡Nos pinchan y no sangramos! 🫣
#OpenAI ha fatto pressioni sull'UE per indebolire l'imminente regolamentazione dell'IA, anche se in pubblico chiede barriere di protezione dell'IA più forti, come mostrano i documenti ottenuti dal #TIME
#AI#EU#OpenAI#GenerativeAI#Lobbying#AIAct: "The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has spent the last month touring world capitals where, at talks to sold-out crowds and in meetings with heads of governments, he has repeatedly spoken of the need for global AI regulation.
But behind the scenes, OpenAI has lobbied for significant elements of the most comprehensive AI legislation in the world—the E.U.’s AI Act—to be watered down in ways that would reduce the regulatory burden on the company, according to documents about OpenAI’s engagement with E.U. officials obtained by TIME from the European Commission via freedom of information requests.
In several cases, OpenAI proposed amendments that were later made to the final text of the E.U. law—which was approved by the European Parliament on June 14, and will now proceed to a final round of negotiations before being finalized as soon as January."
#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#LLMs#Chatbots#AIGovernance#AIEthics: "OpenAI has said that “Our alignment research aims to make artificial general intelligence (AGI) aligned with human values and follow human intent.” Yet many of the world’s ills are the result of the difference between stated human values and the intent expressed by actual human choices and actions. Justice, fairness, equity, respect for truth, and long-term thinking are all in short supply. An AI model such as GPT4 has been trained on a vast corpus of human speech, a record of humanity’s thoughts and feelings. It is a mirror. The biases that we see there are our own. We need to look deeply into that mirror, and if we don’t like what we see, we need to change ourselves, not just adjust the mirror so it shows us a more pleasing picture!
To be sure, we don’t want AI models to be spouting hatred and misinformation, but simply fixing the output is insufficient. We have to reconsider the input—both in the training data and in the prompting. The quest for effective AI governance is an opportunity to interrogate our values and to remake our society in line with the values we choose. The design of an AI that will not destroy us may be the very thing that saves us in the end."
#AI#GenerativeAI#OpenAI#GitHub#Copilot#Microsoft#Programming#SoftwareDevelopment: "OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, GPT-3 and GPT-4, Codex and Copilot AI systems, is the consensus leader in the race to create AI that may take all of our jobs and destroy the human race be the most disruptive technology since the invention of the printing press. OpenAI is also an affiliate of Microsoft, which is also the owner of GitHub, the popular online code repository. According to the complaint, these separate entities are just one big data-sharing family, leveraging their combined resources in non-standard ways such as Microsoft sharing hardware and cloud infrastructure resources in exchange for an ownership interest in OpenAI. According to the complaint, Microsoft’s ongoing relationship with OpenAI has led some to describe Microsoft as “the unofficial owner of OpenAI.” Complaint at 31.
The crux of the complaint is that OpenAI took code that was stored on GitHub and used it as training data to build out AI systems called Codex and Copilot. And while most of the code that was stored in the systems was likely marked “public” and was also open source, the code was subject to certain licensing and attribution requirements that were allegedly ignored when they were used in the training data to create OpenAI’s Codex and Copilot systems." https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2023/06/how-can-ai-models-legally-obtain-training-data-doe-1-v-github-guest-blog-post.htm

⎧ When powerful tech figures link arms behind an attention-grabbing statement alleging AI superpowers, they are also saying, as the Wizard of Oz did, “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
They are saying “the power resides in the machine.” They are distracting us from the enormous amount of wealth and power they stand to gain from the rise of AI — and from the fact that it doesn’t have to be this way ⎭
If you’re watching the Reddit drama unfold and quietly (or not so quietly) hoping this means good things for the end of the centralised platform, make sure you’re keeping Open AI in your view. They’re drawing the same power around themselves by being the first highly accessible, usable service in a particular space, and futures are being dreamt up on those sandy foundations.
Keep it diverse, keep it focused on people and community good, or it’ll go the same way.
