"Can A.I. ameliorate the inequities of our world other than by pushing us to the brink of societal collapse?
"If A.I. is as powerful a tool as its proponents claim, they should be able to find other uses for it besides intensifying the ruthlessness of capital.”
Once again Ted Chiang has it exactly right. The immediate danger from #AI is not that it will become sentient and do whatever it wants. The danger is that it will do what it’s being designed to do: help rich corporations destroy the working class in pursuit of ever-greater profits and thus concentrate wealth in fewer and fewer hands.
The UK and US have intervened in the race to develop ever more powerful #AI technology, as the British competition watchdog launched a review of the sector and the White House advised tech firms of their fundamental responsibility to develop safe products
Google “We Have No Moat, and Neither Does OpenAI” - Google insider admits that Open Source #AI is already far ahead of anything Google, Microsoft or any other private corp is working on. Not surprising. Release exciting, high-potential new technology into the wild and this is what happens. So Google asks: Where do we add value to the process? Good question. Or is this a case where legacy industry giants simply won’t have a role? #OpenSource is leading the way, and that’s both encouraging AND somewhat alarming. Alarming because the potential for negative outcomes, fraud, misinformation and massive job loss remain in the absence of government oversight and regulation. #ArtificialIntelligence#LLM#ChatGPT#GPT4#singularityhttps://www.semianalysis.com/p/google-we-have-no-moat-and-neither
I read and highlighted/commented on the ENTIRE EU AI act draft and annexes from a people analytics perspective so YOU DON'T HAVE TO! This isn't the final draft, and what was reported last week indicate that there are some significant changes, but hopefully this helps people quickly get to what matters for people analytics
As AI continues to advance and its tools become evermore integrated into the daily lives of tech consumers, the White House has unveiled executive actions to "mitigate" the risks it could have on the American public.
This one has different methodologies and philosophies that try to mitigate some of the ethical issues with other similar #GenerativeAI programming systems.
Hugging Face and ServiceNow Research release StarCoder, a free alternative to code-generating #AI like GitHub's #Copilot, as part of the #BigCode project.
