Sam Altman, co-founder of Open-AI, in a conversation with podcaster Lex Fridman, asserts that concerns around AGI experiments are legitimate and acknowledges that risks, such as misinformation, are real. Also, in an interview with WSJ, Altman says the company has long been concerned about the security of its technologies and that they have spent more than 6 months testing the tool before its release. Andrew Ng, founder and CEO of Landing AI, founder of DeepLearning.
AI, and managing general partner of AI Fund, argues cambodia email list on Linkedin “The call for a 6 month moratorium on making AI progress beyond GPT-4 is a terrible idea. I’m seeing many new applications in education, healthcare, food, … that’ll help many people. Improving GPT-4 will help. Let’s balance the huge value AI is creating vs. realistic risks.” He also said “There is no realistic way to implement a moratorium and stop all teams from scaling up LLMs, unless governments step in.
Having governments pause emerging technologies they don’t understand is anti-competitive, sets a terrible precedent, and is awful innovation policy.” Like Ng, many other technology specialists also disagree with the main point of the letter, asking for a pause on the experiments. In their opinion, we could harm huge advances in science and health discoveries, such as detecting breast cancer, as published in the NY Times last month.
