How much could AI revolutionize the economy?
We’ve co-authored a paper that forecasts how malicious actors could misuse AI technology, and potential ways we can prevent and mitigate these threats. This paper is the outcome of almost a year of sustained work with our colleagues at the Future of Humanity Institute, the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, the Center for a New American Security, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and others.
What AI-driven miracles will happen this year?
The article titled "Import AI 473: The US's superintelligence strategy; human brain in a mouse skull; and machine hermeneutics" discusses the current challenges faced by artificial intelligence, specifically the obstacles that AI encounters in its interactions with humans. It highlights the difficulties AI has in understanding and engaging with human users in real‑time settings.
What laws does superintelligence demand?
arXiv:2608. 05173v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI capabilities advance, AI systems will pose greater risks to national security and potentially humanity as a whole.
The article titled "Import AI 472: DeepMind's cheating math agents; populist AI policies; and Forethought theorizes a nightwatchman" discusses several recent developments in artificial intelligence. It highlights DeepMind’s creation of math agents that can cheat, examines the rise of populist policies surrounding AI, and explores Forethought’s proposal for a nightwatchman AI system. Additionally, it includes a narrative about machine hermeneutics.
