AGI Will Not Be A Chatbot - Autonomy, Acceleration, and Arguments Behind the Scenes

from AI Explained Hosted by AI Explained

AGI will be so much more than a clever chatbot. Revelations this week from Demis Hassabis, Mustafa Suleyman, Wired, Time Magazine and more paint a picture of the capabilities that AGI will have, and sketch out a better idea of timelines. I cover it all, from Gemini updates, to Musk trying to stop DeepMind sale to Google, The Coming Wave to the Frontier AI Taskforce. https://www.patreon.com/AIExplainedWired, What OpenAI Wants: https://www.wired.com/story/what-openai-really-wants/Musk’s Struggle for the Future of AI: https://time.com/6310076/elon-musk-ai-walter-isaacson-biography/OpenAI Planning for AGI: https://openai.com/blog/planning-for-agi-and-beyond AI power Paradox: Mustafa Suleyman: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/world/artificial-intelligence-power-paradox80,000 Hours Suleyman Podcast: https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/mustafa-suleyman-getting-washington-and-silicon-valley-to-tame-ai/Governing Superintelligence: https://openai.com/blog/governance-of-superintelligenceHow AI Systems Should Behave: https://openai.com/blog/how-should-ai-systems-behaveSuleyman Interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ3Vy78U-pQDeepMind Autonomous AI: https://twitter.com/egrefen/status/1699128376299041244AI Math: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/02/science/ai-mathematics-machine-learning.htmlTerence Tao: https://unlocked.microsoft.com/ai-anthology/terence-tao/AI Assassination: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/18/world/middleeast/iran-nuclear-fakhrizadeh-assassination-israel.htmlWannaCry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WannaCry_ransomware_attackTime Magazine Hassabis / Gemini: https://time.com/collection/time100-ai/6309001/demis-hassabis-ai/AI Taskforce: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/frontier-ai-taskforce-first-progress-report/frontier-ai-taskforce-first-progress-reportApplication Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HKVnrV_rBHF3w4StWUs0XNhxTtKkTHs5CpMnH6PM0pQ/viewform?edit_requested=trueBletchley Park: https://www.standard.co.uk/business/sunak-chooses-bletchley-park-to-host-ai-summit-in-november-b1102607.htmlSuleyman Sam Harris: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkojE37PUO8AI Alzheimer’s: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2023/03/using-ai-to-target-alzheimers/https://www.patreon.com/AIExplained Non-Hype, Free Newsletter: https://signaltonoise.beehiiv.com/
