The Matrix AI Talk Radio from inteligenesis.comOpenAI's Efforts to Control Superintelligent AI Facing Setback
In a bold move destined to shape our collective future, OpenAI established an elite unit dedicated to the oversight of what they deemed 'superintelligent' AI. This team's core mission was clear yet daunting. To safeguard humanity from the potentially perilous outcomes of AI that surpasses human intelligence.
Recently, though, rumblings from within have surfaced, painting a picture of neglect & contradiction. A source intimate with the company's inner workings has signaled an alarming downgrade in the team's significance. Personnel reassignments & shifting priorities have purportedly left the initiative in limbo.

EA TalksAI Alignment: An Introduction | Rohin Shah | EAGxOxford 22"You've probably heard that Elon Musk, Stuart Russell, and Stephen Hawking warn of dangers posed by AI. What are these risks, and what basis do they have in AI practice? Rohin Shah will first describe the more philosophical argument that suggests that a superintelligent AI system pursuing the wrong goal would lead to an existential catastrophe. Then, he'll ground this argument in current AI practice, arguing that it is plausible both that we build superintelligent AI in the coming decades, and that such a system would pursue an incorrect goal.View the original talk and video here.2022-12-1752 min
Current AffairsWhy You Don't Need To Worry About "Superintelligent AI" Destroying The World (But Artificial Intelligence Is Still Scary)Some, including both geniuses like Stephen Hawking and nongeniuses like Elon Musk, have warned that artificial intelligence poses a major risk to humankind's future. Some in the "Effective Altruist" community have become convinced that artificial intelligence is developing so rapidly that we could soon create "superintelligent" computers that are so much smarter than us that they could take over and pose a threat to our existence as a species. Books like Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence and Stuart Russell's Human Compatible have warned that we need to get machine intelligence under control before it controls us. Erik J.
