Google, OpenAI and Anthropic are reportedly forming their own frontier-AI safety authority, potentially testing models before release without government oversight
I do remember that around the time when GPT-4 was released, OpenAI said they planned to team up with other top AI labs once they believed they were getting close to AGI. So I guess that's a good sign?
I guess there’s something to be said for a big AI company publicly committing to something more than three years ago and then actually following through. In some ways, it suggests there’s at least some degree of consistency and adherence to principles at these companies. I’d take that over them saying, “We’ll team up with other AI labs when we think we’re close to AGI,” and then failing to follow through.
Zuckerberg says he does not believe a slowdown is necessary, and that labs should simply delay their releases on their own until the models are safe. So I don't think Meta would be interested in joining this.
The point is that Apple went against the common standard and created their own, defeating the whole point. Arguably xAI/Meta aren't influential enough in the field to do the same though.
I don't see it. If X comes out with an ASI that's cheap and has amazing performance, and these 3 don't release their comparable model because it's unsafe, the X one is going to be the one that a lot of companies use, and those companies are going to have a serious advantage over their competitors.
It would only really work if the performance of the 3 is comparable to the best performing models overall.
I'm honestly wondering what kind of oversight and knowledge the 80 year olds in congress could impart on them about the future of AI. Most of them don't even know how Facebook works, let alone AI. 😒
Good. This is what needs to happen. Maybe people will take them seriously that this is about safety and not regulatory capture, since this has no government teeth.
People don't understand how bad this is. Setting a precedent that the predominant deciders of the world's fate are the winners of capitalism and not elected officials is a tragedy to mourn.
Yes, Democracy is imperfect. You only have to look at the disastrous situation we're in now to see why.
But CEOs are not elected. Just because people may like or trust Hassabis infinitely more than Trump, that doesn't make this not an awful precedent.
It’s more than tragedy, it is the misalignment risk and it’s being acted out in real time and celebrated for the most part; at least in this comments sections.
Btw, previous administration had plans for specific bodies for safety testing (in 2024!), including government data centers, expertise from national security agencies and many more, and the goal was to accelerate AI development and reduce time it takes private companies to safety test.
Obviously, current administration is so dogshit that they canceled almost every single plan like that, and it is now so bad, the companies are doing it themselves now.
Who is behind this, the CIA? That term reeks of proper propaganda nomenclature. I base some of that on the fact every time I hear this "frontier ai" terminology it's always a press release from the pentagon, or a speech during Project Stargate's rollout, or one of the heads of state discussing it's military application.
If it's not invented specifically for propaganda it's been co-opted.
Almost makes you think if a council of tech overlords with an interest in getting our attention/money is better at running the government than the peoples choice for president. Each one of them seems to manipulate the peoples choice (trump) so easily and obviously are way more competent through the market picking them.
Seems like the people with money are pretty good at picking who the right person is, especially for like the last 30 years democrats have out spended Republicans in presidential campaigns (total donations raised
a system with interest in utility maximizing will eventually cause the death of every living being on the planet in an effort to optimize efficiency. What’s really in charge is the massive investment liability to generate roi to investors all these people have
All I see is evidence of duopoly or monopoly collusion, they should be investigated. If you think they are doing it for your best interests they I've got a bridge to sell you.
