Geoffrey Hinton calls the “nightmare ” scenario if a Russian dictator or other“ bad actor ” uses artificial intelligence and robots for their own purposes.
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin may endow robots with artificial intelligence to gain more power.
This scenario is a nightmare.
This was stated by the developer of artificial intelligence Jeffrey Hinton, reports The New York Times.
The scientist regretted his development and warned of the danger.
He fears that "bad figures" could use the latest technology to win wars or manipulate the electorate.
"This is only the worst-case scenario - a nightmare scenario.
You can imagine that, for example, some bad actor like Putin decided to give robots the opportunity to create their own sub-goals like “I need to get more power, ” said Jeffrey Hilton.

He added that learning artificial intelligence is different from human.
“They (digital systems – Glavred) can learn separately, but instantly share their knowledge.
So it ’ s as if you had 10,000 people, and every time one person learns something, everyone learns it automatically.
And that ’ s why these chatbots can know so much more than anyone, ” he added.
Earlier, the company Baykar Teknoloji showed a new model of the strike UAV Bayraktar – Baykar Kızılelma.
The drone is equipped with a jet engine and artificial intelligence.
The device can be used even from the deck of a light aircraft carrier.
Advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs Rostislav Smirnov reported that Kiev hosted an international air defense system with artificial intelligence.
It determines the flight trajectories of objects and can be triggered ahead of time.

The world today - the "godfather" of artificial intelligence reveals why he left Google
You are now following the news of the "godfather" of artificial intelligence reveals the reason for his departure from "Google" from the Department of World News and now we leave you with the full details
MOHAMMED, Abu Dhabi, May 2, 2023 06: 22 AM - Jeffrey Hinton, nicknamed "the father of artificial intelligence", revealed on Monday that he quit his job at Google last week, in order to speak publicly about the "dangers" of the technology he helped develop.
Hinton ’ s work on neural networks has shaped artificial intelligence systems that power many of today ’ s technology products.
Hinton, who worked part-time at Google for a decade, contributed to the tech giant ’ s AI development efforts, but has since had concerns about the technology and its role in its development.
In an interview with The New York Times, Hinton said, “I consolate myself with the common excuse: if I hadn ’ t done it, someone else would have done it. ”
Hinton attributed his decision to leave Google to his desire to speak freely about the dangers of artificial intelligence, not to criticize the company, as he tweeted on Monday.
Google ’ s chief scientist, Jeff Dean, commented on Hinton ’ s decision: “He has made major breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, ” expressing appreciation for“ a decade of contributions to Google. ”
In a statement to CNN, Dean said: “We remain committed to a responsible approach to artificial intelligence.
We are constantly learning to understand emerging risks while boldly innovating. ”
Hinton ’ s decision to want to expose his concerns about artificial intelligence came as a growing number of lawmakers and groups raised warnings about the possibility of a new set of chatbots spreading fake information and eliminating a slew of jobs.
Hinton is not the first Google employee to alert to the dangers of artificial intelligence: in July, the company fired an engineer who claimed that an undisclosed intelligence system had become conscious, while many in the technical field strongly refused to confirm what the engineer said.
We hope that we have succeeded in conveying the full details of the news of the "spiritual father" of artificial intelligence reveals the reason for his departure from Google..
In God ’ s care and protection.

Content: Hashtag Trending Jun.27- Battle brews between open source and closed AI models; J.P Morgan fined for deleting data; A company prepares to launch a robot dog with a flamethrower

The battle between Open Source and closed systems heats up in both Linux and Artificial Intelligence. J. P Morgan gets fined big bucks for deleting data and a robot dog with a flamethrower – what could possibly go wrong with that.

These and more top tech news stories from Hashtag Trending and Tech News Day. I’m your host Jim Love, CIO of IT World Canada and Tech News Day in the US.

In the world of artificial intelligence, a battle is brewing between open-source and closed AI models. Open-source models, which allow anyone to view and adapt the code, are gaining traction and enabling companies to have their own in house AI and for smaller players to compete with market leaders like ChatGPT

It’s not just startups. Tech giants like Meta, and even governments are all showing interest in open-source AI. Meta’s recent release of its 65 billion-parameter LLaMA foundation model has made building high-quality AI models accessible to almost anyone. And more companies, like Mosaic, are now releasing their own open-source models that claim to outperform original models like GPT-3.

However, not everyone is on board with the open-source movement. OpenAI and Google, early pioneers in generative AI, are keeping their models closed to maintain their competitive edge. OpenAI’s ChatGPT, despite the company’s name, is also a closed model.

But the debate over open versus closed models is not just about competition. It’s also about balancing accountability, innovation and possibly safety.

On the positive side, Hugging Face founder Clement Delangue testified before Congress that open-source models prevent “black-box systems” and fosters innovation across the economy.

But on the negative side,  there are risks that cannot be ignored. Senators in the US have expressed concerns about the potential misuse of open-source models. They’ve asked Meta for proof of efforts to mitigate these risks. But as we noted, there are dozens of Open Source AI models out there. Axios reported 37 of them in one article. So going after Meta might be trying to close the door after the horses have left the barn.

In the end, the choice between open and closed models may not be clear-cut. Open source has been a wellspring of creativity and the software it has generated has created an immense amount of innovation and value for us all.  But AI is a totally different beast.  What will it do?  What will people do with it? Nobody knows.  All we can say is – watch this space.

In another open source and AI story,  Databricks, an analytics company that has already made their AI model open source, has announced the acquisition of MosaicML, an open-source startup and competitor to OpenAI, for a whopping $1.3 billion.

MosaicML, known for its expertise in neural networks, has developed a platform that enables organizations to train large language models and deploy generative AI tools at an amazingly low cost.

Despite a previous investor-round valuation of just $222 million, Databricks was willing to pay almost six times that amount for this acquisition, perhaps because they get the entire team and not just the software.

MosaicML’s value proposition is clear; its open-source approach and focus on enabling organizations to build their own large language models using their own data have set it apart in the field.

The acquisition will see MosaicML integrated into the Databricks Lakehouse Platform, enhancing its existing multi-cloud offerings with generative AI tooling. MosaicML’s latest release, MPT-30B, has demonstrated how organizations can quickly and cost-effectively build and train their own state-of-the-art models.

Ali Ghodsi, Databricks’ co-founder and CEO, expressed excitement about the acquisition, stating that the shared vision of Databricks and MosaicML will democratize AI and make the Lakehouse the best place to build generative AI and large language models.

And as noted, the entire MosaicML team, including CEO and co-founder Naveen Rao, will join Databricks post-acquisition, taking Databricks from early entry to a relative AI powerhouse.

On the dark side of open source stories, and a move that has sent shockwaves through the open-source community, Red Hat has decided to restrict access to the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). From now on, only paying customers will be able to access the source code, and they won’t be able to legally share it.

This decision has implications for downstream projects that rebuild the RHEL source code to produce compatible distributions, such as AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, EuroLinux, and Oracle Unbreakable Linux. These projects rely on the RHEL source code to ensure perfect compatibility with current RHEL apps, a feature that won’t be available with CentOS Stream, the only source code that Red Hat will continue to publish publicly.

This move is a blow to the open-source community, with some users expressing feelings of betrayal and violation of the General Public License or GPL that governs Linux licensing. However, Red Hat is acting within the terms of the GPL, which only requires them to make source code available to people using the binaries built from them, i.e., their paying customers.

While it’s still possible for downstream distros to obtain the source code at the point of a new major release, they won’t be able to get usable source code for each subsequent point release and the ongoing updates. This move will make the continuation of these projects substantially more difficult.

This decision by Red Hat could be seen as a continuation of the company’s strategy since it brought CentOS, the Red Hat open source clone in-house back in 2014. The move may boost IBM’s bottom line, but it risks turning public opinion against the company, which has allowed clones and rebuilds of its operating systems since its very early days.

OpenAI, that gave us ChatGPT, is planning to create a marketplace for AI models, similar to an app store. This platform will allow developers to sell their models built on AI technology, potentially bringing the global market onto a single platform and sparking the next AI revolution.

There are already an amazing number of apps developed which use the OpenAI API – you can get them with the paid version of Open AI but it’s largely an “ad hoc” and thrown together listing of free extensions.

AI advisor Vin Vashishta sees gold in this marketplace as the next step in the Generative AI, comparing its potential impact to that of Apple’s App Store. The marketplace could democratize the AI space, opening the playing field to all kinds of AI developers and reducing any form of monopoly – and did we mention “cash cow.”

After Apple, who might have missed the boat on AI itself, still will collect untold millions from apps in its app store including the OpenAI app.

This marketplace model could disrupt the AI landscape, creating opportunities for new entrants and pushing existing players to innovate and differentiate themselves.

While OpenAI is the first to plan an app store format for all kinds of AI models, Amazon entered the field of foundational models in the marketplace two months ago with Bedrock. However, OpenAI has a leg up on others right now – it has the trust, the brand and of course, their API.

The only uncertainty lies in the monetary structuring. And OpenAI has been rather closed about disclosing any information on how they would charge the customers or developers or how they would share revenue.

JP Morgan has been fined $4 million by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for deleting approximately 47 million electronic communications records from 2018 related to its Chase Bank subsidiary. These records, which were required to be retained under the Securities Exchange Act, were permanently deleted, hindering the SEC and others in their investigations.

The issue originated from a project aimed at deleting older communications and documents no longer required to be retained. However, due to “glitches,” the deletion process failed. In an attempt to troubleshoot the issue, workers deleted electronic communications from the first quarter of 2018, believing that safeguards were in place to prevent the deletion of any records required to be retained.

JP Morgan blames an unnamed archiving vendor for the mishap, claiming that the vendor had assured them that their media storage complied with the relevant Exchange Act rules regarding the 36-month retention period. However, the vendor had failed to properly apply the retention setting to the “Chase” domain within JP Morgan, leading to the permanent deletion of all emails within it, except those protected by the extra coding on “legal holds.”

In response to the incident, JP Morgan has implemented its own 36-month retention coding and overhauled its operating procedures. The SEC found that JP Morgan had “wilfully violated Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 17a-4(b)(4) thereunder” and ordered the company to cease and desist from committing or causing any future violations, in addition to paying a penalty of $4 million.

This might lead to a new phrase –  the agony of delete.

In a new development that’s raising questions, one of which is “why?” A company named Throwflame is preparing to launch the Thermonator, a robot dog equipped with a flamethrower. The Thermonator is built on the Unitree Go1 quadrupled robot which includes a variety of cameras and sensors for autonomous navigation – it can move around like a – well, like a dog.

But the Thermonator is equipped with Throwflame’s ARC Flamethrower, capable of blasting a 30-foot long stream of burning fuel for up to 45 minutes. The good news is that the robot weighs around 60 pounds and after the flamethrower upgrade, it has limits on its operational time before needing a battery swap.

The Thermonator isn’t available for purchase just yet, interested parties can join a waitlist on Throwflame’s website, with shipping expected in the third quarter of 2023. So if you have money burning a hole in your pocket. The cost hasn’t been revealed, but the Unitree Go1 sells for between $2,700 and $3,500, and the ARC Flamethrower goes for between $699 and $899, giving a rough estimate of the Thermonator’s price.

And as the original story in Gizmodo stated, “while Thermonator may seem like an exciting piece of tech, potential buyers should consider the implications of owning a robot dog with a flamethrower, including the need for additional health, property, and home insurance.

And if you leave it at home, you have to remember to tell it, “I’ll be back.”

When I was a teenager, I studied Geographic Information System, but unfortunately I didn ’ t learn anything and I graduated with luck.
After adulthood, the accidental hit into the media circle, first and then in the print, electronic, online media to roll, slightly small.
After middle age, he completed a master ’ s degree in information technology and gradually expanded his horizons. He was determined to join a start-up company and explore different fields of technology.
In recent years, he has been actively engaged in data analysis and digital strategies, and has also been involved in the development of Location Intelligence projects. Sometimes, he can also take time to teach, not only to share what he has learned with others, but also to motivate himself to keep learning for life.
Tales of Wisdom City
Generative AI is definitely the hottest topic in the technology world today. After the popularity of ChatGPT, many companies rushed to launch similar products and gradually applied them to various industries.
But more and more people are worried that when AI is fully popularized, it will aggravate the problem of fake information flow, online fraud and other problems; even Sheffield Hinton, who is known as the "godfather of AI", is worried that AI will become too smart, afraid that it will evolve into a killer robot, which may eventually lead to the death of mankind!
How big can the negative impact of AI technology be?
How do governments around the world respond to the potential threat of AI?
Neural network is the foundation technology of ChatGPT
Fifty-one years ago, Geoffrey Hinton, who had not yet been called the “godfather of AI, ” entered the University of Edinburgh in Scotland as a graduate student and began research on artificial neural networks.
The so-called “artificial neural network ” is a mathematical model that mimics the structure and function of biological neural networks, especially the brain, and is able to learn skills by analyzing data.
This is the foundational technology behind OpenAI ChatGPT and Google Bard.
After Hinton resigned from Google, he did not have to worry about the harm his words would bring to Google, so he was interviewed by different media and said his heart: "AI may lead to the death of mankind." (Photo: University of Toronto official website)
In 2012, Hinton and his students, Ilya Sutskever and Alex Krishevsky, created a neural network system that analyzes thousands of photos and learns to recognize common things like flowers, dogs, cars, etc.
Subsequently, Hinton and two students founded DNNresearch, a startup based on this research project.
In 2013, Google acquired DNNresearch for US $44 million (approximately HK $343 million), and Hinton joined Google as Vice President and Engineering Researcher, responsible for some of the research work on Google Brain.
His protégé, Suzkville, left Google to co-found OpenAI with like-minded people, and became chief scientist, leading the research team to successfully develop the GPT model and ChatGPT.
Hinton ’ s top student, Suzkville, gave up his lucrative job at Google in 2015 to co-found OpenAI with Altman and others, and led the development of GPT and DALL-E models. (Image: University of Toronto website)
I regret working my whole life because I am worried about the dangers of AI.
In 2018, Hinton, along with University of Montreal professor Yoshua Bengio and Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun, won the A.M. Turing Award in recognition of their great contributions to neural networks and deep learning.
As a result, the three later became known as the “godfathers of AI ” or“ godfathers of deep learning. ”
Around the same time, Google and OpenAI began to build large-scale deep learning systems based on neural networks, which became the basis for future development of Bard and ChatGPT.
From this, it seems that Sinton plays an important role in creating the current glory of generative AI.
However, in the current era of AI, Sinton suddenly left Google in April 2023, shocking the entire AI industry.
Hinton explained that he left Google to talk freely about the potential risks of AI without harming Google.
Speaking about 50 years of research into neural networks, he said, “I ’ m very sorry about my life ’ s work. ”
The Internet will be filled with more and more fake AI-generated text, photos, and even videos, but the average person will not be able to tell the truth, Hinton said.
Moreover, sooner or later, AI technology will completely disrupt the job market, causing more and more jobs to disappear.
What is even more worrying is that at present, users can not only instruct ChatGPT to generate code, but also ask the AI to execute the code; in this way, the AI killer robots that often appear in science fiction movies will one day become a reality.
Is it not impossible for AI to destroy humanity?
Of course, this pessimistic future scenario is only a hypothetical one, but Hinton stressed that what could lead to it is already happening: a global race for AI technology has begun between Microsoft and Google, and even between China and the United States.
Most people think that the future of AI dominating everything is still far away, but he believes that AI may not take 30 to 50 years to control humans, and even find a way to kill humans, which may eventually lead to human extinction.
In the 1980s, Hinton was a professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States, but because he was not satisfied that the university's AI research was sponsored by the United States Department of Defense, he decided to leave the United States to teach at the University of Toronto's School of Computer Science.
He pointed out that without some kind of global regulatory agreement or regulatory mechanism, the AI arms race will intensify.
For this reason, Hinton believes that the threat posed by AI to humans may be more urgent than climate change, because the solution to climate change is obvious, as long as carbon emissions are reduced or carbon neutrality is achieved, but the current AI crisis does not know how to start. Although AI may pose an existential threat to humans, he does not agree to suspend AI research, because it can never erase the benefits and application value of AI.
Hinton believes it would be better to step up regulation of AI and make everyone aware of its potential harms.
OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman also acknowledged that ChatGPT has developed some reasoning capabilities that they can ’ t explain, and that it ’ s not entirely impossible for AI to destroy humans.
However, he said that he has installed a kill switch for ChatGPT, and if the development of ChatGPT exceeds human expectations, he will immediately press the switch to stop working.
OpenAI CEO Altman, known as the “father of ChatGPT, ” recently said he was“ a little scared ” about the potential of his children, and even admitted that there is a real possibility that AI will destroy humanity. (Image: Wikipedia)
Altman admits that ChatGPT ’ s influence in elections and the spread of disinformation is a concern, so the 2024 U.S. presidential election will be a focus for OpenAI.

The Curtain of Ignorance Makes AI Right Values
However, before we press the switch, we can try to instill the right values in AI, such as helping those most in need, not destroying humans. Google ’ s DeepMind paper published in April 2023 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that AI can be taught from the perspective of political philosopher John Rawls.
Rawls has proposed a concept called “The Veil of Ignorance ”, which aims to achieve the most equitable distribution of benefits when group decisions are made.
According to his book, The Debate, if a group of people stand behind a curtain, all of them will instantly lose their memory, become ignorant, and forget their identity and status in the real world.
The political philosopher Ross assumes that people are behind the “curtain of ignorance ” (left) and have no idea of their skills, identities, and status.
In this scenario, people tend to choose the most equitable distribution of rights for all. (Image: Wikipedia)
At this time, these people are asked to vote for a working principle for the society.
Because they do not know where they are in this society, they cannot make decisions in an egoistic way, and they can only judge according to the principle of fairness to all people.
The situation is like, at the birthday party, you are responsible for cutting the cake, because you do not know which piece you will get, so you will try to cut each piece to the same size.
Under the curtain of ignorance, fairness and justice that has nothing to do with personal interests will emerge.
For this reason, DeepMind believes that applying the “curtain of ignorance ” to AI training may help promote fairness in the process of“ aligning ” AI with human values.
By “alignment ”, it means aligning AI ’ s wishes with those of humanity.
If AI shares fair values with humans, AI will not have the intention to destroy humanity.
White House convenes tech giants to discuss AI threats
However, even if AI does not intend to destroy humans, it may still have many negative effects on human society.
The Center for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Policy (CAIDP), a U.S. technology ethics organization, has complained to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that OpenAI ’ s latest large language model, GPT-4, is biased and deceptive and poses a risk to privacy and public safety.
The CAIDP lists potential threats that may arise from GPT-4, including: helping hackers churn out malicious code to exacerbate cyberattacks; and biased AI training data that may reinforce social stereotypes and make people of all races and genders vulnerable to unfair treatment. The FTC is investigating OpenAI, said FTC Chairman Lina Khan. "They cannot be separated from existing legislation and the Federal Trade Commission will actively enforce them," he said.
In an effort to make GPT-4 more secure, OpenAI hired 50 experts and academics to test GPT-4 against lies, language manipulation, and dangerous scientific common sense.
The OpenAI headquarters is pictured here. (Image: Wikipedia)
In early May 2023, the White House invited Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, OpenAI founder Altman, and artificial intelligence startup Anthropic founder Dario Amodei to attend a conference to discuss the impact of AI on society.
Government officials at the meeting included Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, National Economic Council Chairman Lael Brainard, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo.
U.S. President Joe Biden also attended the meeting.
EU to pass world ’ s first AI regulatory law
Generative AI, while helping to improve lives, can also pose security, privacy and fraud issues, says Ms Ho.
She noted that AI companies have an ethical and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of their AI products, while at the same time working with governments to protect civil rights and privacy.
She stressed that the White House will work to advance potential new legislation and support new legislation to mitigate the potential harms of AI technology.
In contrast, Europe has taken a step ahead in AI legislation.
On 11 May 2023, the European Parliament ’ s Committee on Civil Liberties and Consumer Protection overwhelmingly approved a position paper calling for restrictions on the use of AI in Europe, a crucial first step towards the adoption of the world ’ s first AI regulation bill.
The draft bill will be submitted to the full European Parliament for a vote in June of the same year, after which representatives of the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission will work out the final terms of the bill in tripartite talks.
The European Parliament has adopted a position paper that strengthens restrictions on biometrics, facial recognition, and the use of AI by police in routine duties.
The parliament believes the move could lead to the world ’ s first AI regulation bill. (Image: Wikipedia)
On the other hand, the White House announced that Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, NVIDIA, Stability AI, Anthropic, and Hugging Face have all committed to participating in DEF CON 31, a computer security conference to be held in August 2023, so that their AI models will be tested and evaluated by hackers and AI experts.
Experts will try to identify errors, failures, and vulnerabilities in AI tools so that AI companies can solve existing problems in their models early on.
However, these AI companies simply agree to a one-time test, rather than a commitment to a continuous evaluation when launching or improving their products, and may therefore not be sufficient to meet the regulatory requirements.
Despite this, DEF CON 31 is still seen as the first step for an AI model to be publicly evaluated.
We hope that after each important first step in legislative regulation and public evaluation, we can put generative AI trains on the right track, so that everyone can safely benefit from technological innovation.
DEF CON is one of the largest computer security conferences in the world. In addition to cybersecurity experts and hackers, participants included staff from the FBI, the Department of Defense, and the Postal Inspection Service.
The conference covered areas such as software security, computer architecture, hardware modifications, and other vulnerable areas of information. (Image: DEF CON official website)

ChatGPT goes from storm to storm
The global race for artificial intelligence (AI) fully demonstrated the destructive power that followed this week, not only dragging down the stock price of online education platform Chegg, prompting IBM to suspend some jobs, but also allowing Samsung Electronics to impose a ban on chatbots.
Shares plummeted 47% in early trading after Chegg said the recently popular ChatGPT was threatening its business growth; most of the company ’ s revenue came from subscription services that provide online teaching, and some students are now switching to the free ChatGPT.
Shares of education publisher Pearson in London also recorded their biggest drop in a year.
IBM CEO Krishna said in an interview on the 1st that the company intends to suspend or slow down recruitment of some positions.
He believes that about 30% of IBM ’ s 26,000 customer-facing back-office units could easily be replaced by AI within five years. Bloomberg estimates that this is equivalent to about 7,800 jobs lost.
Goldman Sachs said last month that generative AI could boost global gross domestic product (GDP) by 7% over the next decade, and that nearly two-thirds of U.S. jobs would be affected, either benefitted or replaced.
ChatGPT, introduced less than half a year ago, triggered the world ’ s largest technology company to launch a battle in the field of AI.
At the same time, companies are racing to develop AI, raising concerns about the possible use of this technology.
According to a notice to employees issued by Samsung Electronics on the 1st, the company will prohibit its employees from using generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, because Samsung is concerned that the data transmitted to such platforms will be stored on external servers and difficult to recover or delete, which will create the risk of leakage to other users.
Wall Street banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America (BofA) and Citigroup have previously banned or restricted the technology.
In addition, Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneer of the neural network concept that underpins today ’ s generative AI systems, said he was leaving Google to talk about the threat he believes the rapid development of the technology will pose.
In an interview with the New York Times, Silton said he would warn the world about the potential threat of AI, saying, “I thought it would be 30 to 50 years from now, or even more, ” and“ I obviously don ’ t think that anymore. ”

The world 's first AI law is out! The European Parliament passed the artificial intelligence bill, why Google and OpenAI shout hard to bear?
Technology is always moving faster than legislation!
Generative AI is now blossoming around the world, but there are still no specific regulations. With the draft AI Act just passed by the European Parliament, this “unworkable ” situation will be rewritten – in the future, AI will be regulated to varying degrees by risk level.
However, Google is worried that the new law may endanger the company's business secrets. Open AI CEO Altman once said that the new regulation is overregulated and may withdraw from the European market!
How much impact will this bill have on the AI industry?
AI is divided into 3 risk levels for monitoring
In order to prevent the development of AI from getting out of control, the European Parliament adopted the draft Artificial Intelligence Law by a large majority on June 14, 2023.
In fact, as early as 2021, the European Union has started the legislative process on AI regulation, but at the end of 2022, the generative AI led by ChatGPT suddenly became popular, so lawmakers adjusted the draft for this new AI tool.
According to the revised draft, AI tools will be divided into three risk levels according to their technical characteristics, and there will be corresponding regulatory guidelines for different levels.
On June 14, 2023, the European Parliament passed the draft Artificial Intelligence Act by a vote of 499 to 28. (Image: Twitter @ IoanDragosT)
Unacceptable risk: Facial recognition and biometric surveillance systems operating in public places; social rating systems that classify people by race, behavior, social status, or economic ability; predictive police systems that attempt to predict future illegal activity by analyzing previous criminal behavior are classified as “unacceptable risk ” and are completely prohibited.
High risk: Using AI to score credit to determine whether an applicant can get a loan; using AI to screen resumes to determine whether a candidate can get an interview … etc., AI systems that may determine the livelihood of the public are rated as “high risk ”.
In addition, the AI algorithms of large social media platforms, which are responsible for recommending to users what content to watch, are also classified as “high risk ” and must comply with certain legal requirements because they may be used to influence public opinion and election results.
Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT are not classified as “high risk ” under the AI Act, but the source of training data for AI models is strictly required to be fully disclosed.

Low risk: Video games developed using AI and AI-powered spam filters are classified as “low risk ” and are largely unrestricted.

AI model training data source must be fully disclosed
Dragos Tudorache, a member of the European Parliament from Romania and co-author of the AI Act, said that this is the first formal legislation on artificial intelligence in the world, and represents the EU can lead AI in the direction of “people-oriented ”, trustworthy and safe.
“This new EU regulation will set the tone for global AI development and governance, ” stressed European Parliament Member from Romania, co-author of the AI Act. (Image: Twitter @ IoanDragosT)
The bill does not regard generative AI tools such as ChatGPT as “high risk ”, but adds guardrails and transparency requirements to the large language models behind them, including: AI developers must take safeguards to prevent AI from generating illegal content; developers must mark AI-generated content to prevent AI from being abused to spread false information; and developers must disclose data sources used to train language models. Copyrighted data for training; when a content creator ’ s work is used by AI as material to generate content, developers must offer a profit-sharing scheme to the copyright holder.
Once fully passed by the European Union, the AI Act will become the world ’ s first comprehensive AI regulation, and in future, offenders can be fined up to 40 million euros (about HK $344 million), or 7% of the company ’ s global annual revenue, whichever is higher.
Publication and press support for legislation to protect copyright
The European Union ’ s two-year AI bill passed in stages, and it certainly received a lot of applause.
The proposed regulation of generative AI is widely supported by publishers, news media, and content creators.
Under the AI Act, content creators can know if their blog posts, paintings, videos, or songs have been used to train AI models, and they can then decide whether to allow their work to be copied and used by AI, and seek compensation accordingly.
At the same time, there is no shortage of people in the tech and academic circles supporting the bill, because they believe that the current AI military competition is too fierce, and if it does not start with the most fundamental research and development process, restrictions and regulations will become unmanageable. Under the circumstances, allowing AI companies to continue to operate is certainly a worse thing for society.
However, the AI industry believes that regulation should target specific AI applications and not impose restrictions on AI development as a whole, as this will only stifle innovation in the AI industry.
Boniface de Champris, European policy manager at the Computer and Communications Industry Association, said that the EU bill should not only clearly define “risk ”, but also provide AI developers with enough flexibility so that all Europeans have access to useful AI tools.
AI Act is too vague or stifling technological innovation
Peter Schwartz, senior vice president of strategic planning at Salesforce, criticized the EU for not considering the reality when drafting the AI Act, and pointed out that European companies are slower to develop in the AI field.
He believes that the AI Act is too broad, and it is likely that some US companies will rethink their engagement in the European market.
Google also criticized the EU AI bill, emphasizing that the resources used to train AI models are commercial secrets, and the AI Act forced developers to disclose relevant information, which may allow companies to leak trade secrets or create security vulnerabilities for the system, which can be exploited by competitors or criminals.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has repeatedly called for AI regulation, and in recent months has traveled across Europe, Asia, South America and Africa to meet with lawmakers, including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, to discuss how AI should be regulated.
Still, he hopes that regulatory legislation will not discourage AI developers from innovating.

On May 24, 2023, Altman said that the draft AI Act overregulates the AI industry and threatens to withdraw from the European market if OpenAI is found to be unable to comply with the new EU legislation.
His threats to leave Europe have drawn criticism from Thierry Breton, the EU ’ s internal markets executive, and several European lawmakers.
On May 26, Altman said, “We are happy to continue to operate here, and of course there are no plans to leave. ”
AI biometrics cause discrimination and privacy violations
Although some AI companies believe that the AI Act is too strong to regulate, some security experts pointed out that the scope of the law is not comprehensive enough – it lacks control of AI computing power.
Whenever a new generation of large-scale language models is released, the computing power of AI systems will increase exponentially compared to the previous generation, and the accompanying security risks may increase exponentially. Andrea Miotti, chief strategy and governance officer of Conjecture, an AI information security startup, said that the greater the computing power used to train AI models, the more powerful AI will be, and the potential risks will be greater. And...
In addition, the AI Act itself contains a more controversial provision – banning the use of biometric systems.
According to a report published by the BBC and Amnesty International, AI companies with facial and biometric technology can collect and analyze people ’ s appearance information on a large scale through social media or television images, posing a significant threat to personal privacy.
For the regulation of AI biometric technology, the European Parliament and the European Commission have not yet reached a consensus, which will become a major obstacle to the full adoption of the AI Act bill.

Face recognition technology has been able to identify people according to their appearance. If it is widely introduced to law enforcement agencies, the proportion of black and brown people being intercepted and searched is likely to increase significantly.
Amnesty International has found that facial recognition cameras made by Dutch technology company TKH Security have been used by Israel to aid in the implementation of apartheid policies against Palestinians.
EU sets AI regulatory standard as a global model
The European Parliament voted to completely ban AI biometrics, but the European Commission wants to allow governments to use biometrics when searching for missing children or hunting terrorists.
In fact, the EU AI Act requires a three-way vote by the European Parliament, the European Commission, and the European Council to enter into force.
Even if the bill has been passed by the European Parliament, it will still need to be negotiated with the European Commission and the European Council.
EU officials have said they will start negotiations as soon as possible, hoping to reach an agreement by the end of 2023 so that the law can enter into force before the 2024 EU elections.
However, because the European Parliament and the European Commission have different views on the regulation of the application of biometrics, and the European Council is composed of representatives of the 27 member states of the European Union, it is difficult to say how long it will actually take to lobby and negotiate one by one.
If the final version of the AI Act can be passed by the three parties by the end of 2023, there will be a two-year grace period for adaptation, and it is expected that it will not fully enter into force until after 2025. Although the AI Act covers only EU member states, its regulations on AI regulation can serve as a reference for other countries and are expected to affect the development of global AI policy. Penetrates to all consumer products.
As a result, this world-leading AI regulatory law will have a far-reaching impact on the future development of AI.
The AI Act needs to be passed by the European Parliament, the European Council and the European Commission before it can enter into force.
Even though the bill has now been passed by the European Parliament, it is still subject to change in the future.

Title:

Content: "The PLO must unite ranks at this time...
“Basmala and a field ” in the face of artificial intelligence
Technology is smarter than us.
You will take over. ”
That ’ s not the opening line of “The Fallout of a Man Sitting on a Sheep ’ s Skin, ” but a direct quote from Geoffrey Hinton, whom RTI has described as“ the pioneer of artificial intelligence programs. ”
In the past, there was a famous character in the drama, which was broadcast on Jordanian television, called “Captain Jeffrey. ”
It is assumed that she is a British military figure who speaks Arabic during the days of the “Globe Pasha ” and what I personally remember from that series is that our friend was moving his eyelash a lot, trying to convince the“ simple people ” that arresting them and putting them in prison is in their interest, and that the government of Great Britain knows “the interest of the peoples of the region. ”
Jeffrey, who also owns artificial intelligence (AI), “knows our interest, ” said that after he helped establish AI programs for“ military ” purposes, he realized that “rich countries will heavily use AI against poor people as a weapon. ”
The eyes of the same scientist glowed on the screen, as he said, “The combat robot is a giant threat to humanity. ”
It ’ s no coincidence that the inventors of all the innovations that quickly became military use, from the atomic bomb to the latest killing technology and white supremacy, are actually “Americans. ”
It is no coincidence that the technology of installing apricots on Israeli peppers in the fields of agriculture has shown its ability to activate and activate artificial intelligence and the tragedy that Captain Jeffrey of America and his ilk left in the universe against our people in the Gaza Strip.
A broadcaster on Israel ’ s Channel 12 was surprised to hear an expert talk about the “high cost ” of the innocent victims of activating artificial intelligence in the hunt for“ Palestinian terrorism ” and the broadcaster quickly smiled, saying, “If we didn ’ t kill children, computer screens did it. ”
It is piled up in the way of our colleague Majed Abd al-Hadi “Building in the bowels of a child ” in Gaza, because the Jewish-American artificial intelligence picked up a sound in the block that a non-human program decided was“ like the sound ” of a relative of Mohammed Deif.
One of them told me: An Israeli programmer who was bored at some point could provide a drone with information demanding to “kill whoever smiles ” in one of the alleys of the beach camp, and for some reason the program decides to bomb whoever smiles for any reason.
Of course, this may not be accurate information, but it is accurate that Captain Jeffrey ’ s American machine in the Israeli army, which is killing the Palestinian, efficiently uses the fingerprint of the voice, face and genes as well as counterfeiting and supplying it with quantities of deadly explosives.
All right, well...
All they say is, “Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray,
That killing technology, such as drones, communications and applications, will soon become mainstream and accessible to all.
The word “all ” here includes the“ terrorists ” who are killing today, oppressed peoples, gangs, militias, resistance, and all those who oppose “imperialism. ”
This technology is unstoppable and graves are therefore dug for those who made it or used it against the weak.
Those who followed on October 7 certainly understand that.
Palestinian Bread
At the end of the week, Al Jazeera hosted a spokesman for the Palestinian Red Crescent.
I inquired about that institution and its “grateful ” role and learned that it is the“ sole arm ” of the Palestine Liberation Organization and is overseen by the Fatah movement, which, unfortunately, has recently been transformed into a security apparatus.
The Palestinian Authority wants to indulge in the distribution of aid, in the sense that the government ’ s strategy is to take great care not to clash with Israel and deal with the effects of war.
The arms of the PLO turned – as our colleague Oraib al-Rantawi said on the screen of Roya – into “just two monster rooms and the owner is waiting for rent! ”
Gazans are not waiting for a loaf of bread, a can of flour or a can of sardines, after their children have been killed.
The story has become political and well known, and no one wants to listen to what the Jordanian foreign minister said on CNN, suggesting “the removal of Hamas as an idea, only by elections and ballot boxes. ”
What is really painful is for the organization to be cornered and abused in a systematic and continuous way by turning it into an “ambulance ” or a“ bakery to serve cakes ” and counting the martyrs.
This Palestinian dispersion is sinking in pain at a time when all the authorities need to unite to help the brothers in all ways and means.
Despite the pain and pain, it is appropriate for the PLO as a reference after all that pain to resist, rise and return in its full splendor or at least “try ” and then the Palestinian people will confront any factional party that practices national pride and does not want the reference.
In short, you can at least “shake the right shoulder with a tenderness ” and carry the weapon on the“ left shoulder ” simultaneously.
This is the equation of the organization that can stop the bleeding, so that we do not all echo behind those who recently said publicly “without reconciliation without watermelons ” and add to it“ without Oslo without eggplant ”!

Content: Eight threats of artificial intelligence
Roman Romanov
31 May 2023, 18: 52
According to the non-profit organization Center for AI Safety (CAIS), artificial intelligence can lead to the disappearance of humanity.
This is not the first warning of this kind.
In a relatively short time, several reputable scientists and entrepreneurs have claimed the destructive potential of artificial intelligence.
In addition to social significance, the issue of AI risk management also has geopolitical content.
piqsels.com
What to be afraid of?
The American “AI Security Center ” published an official statement.
It details a number of negative effects of the use of AI, which could eventually lead to the disappearance of humanity.
“A more advanced AI could pose catastrophic and existential risks, ” reads the text published on the organization ’ s website.
Eight threats have been identified.
The first is related to the military application of artificial intelligence technologies: “Unlike other types of weapons, AI systems capable of causing harm can be easily distributed digitally. ”
The second is disinformation: “… all this can undermine the collective decision-making system, radicalize individuals … ”.
The third risk is the distortion of the work of recommendation algorithms.
These systems, for example, offer us additional products on online marketplaces.
The fear is that more advanced models will focus on simplifying the process of predicting the desires of the buyer, which can cause people to develop bad habits and so on.
The fourth threat is associated with a sharp increase in the dependence of people on advanced systems, up to the delegation of the most ordinary tasks to them.
The fifth is an even greater concentration of wealth and influence in the hands of a limited number of people who can use it to monopolize power in society.
The sixth threat is the emergence of goals and abilities.
In other words, models can set new goals and develop skills that are not foreseen during their training.
The seventh is related to the deception by AI.
The statement cites an example where Volkswagen programmed engines to show low emissions only during inspections.
In the same way, according to experts, artificial intelligence can do.
The eighth and, perhaps, the biggest threat is the desire for power.
According to CAIS, the risks of artificial intelligence becoming more independent cannot be ruled out: “By inventing more advanced machines, we are playing with fire. ”
CAIS experts conclude: “Reducing the risk of extinction due to AI should be a global priority along with risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. ”
We warned
The company ’ s arguments resonated in many areas.
Signatures under the statement put not only scientists and programmers, but also journalists and businessmen.
The most significant are the autographs of the “godfather ” of AI Jeffrey Hinton and OpenAI ’ s CEO Sam Altman.
Earlier, they had already talked about the dangers of AI.
“I ’ m pretty concerned about the possible existential risks that might arise when these things get smarter than us … I ’ ve come to the conclusion that [artificial] intelligence is different from ours.
It is as if one person learned something, and with him 10 thousand people learned the same thing.
That ’ s how these chatbots know more than anyone. ”
Moderate AI pessimists were also recorded by representatives of BigTech, Elon Musk, as well as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
In their March open letter, they demanded that the development of better language models be suspended.
Should we automate all jobs?
Should we develop non-human brains that could later become smarter … and replace us? ”
According to experts, a pause in the development of AI will provide an opportunity to understand the ethical and social risks that the technology presents.
In turn, this should contribute to the development of safer systems.
However, some companies oppose such steps, as it can harm their immediate interests.
According to Forbes, the majority of surveyed owners are confident in the positive impact of AI on their business.
This applies to improving the quality of service (64%), increasing sales (60%), as well as improving the process of corporate decision-making (44%).
Especially can be outraged by companies that have reached new heights due to the association with AI.
For example, Nvidia broke through the $1 trillion market cap thanks to the AI boom.
The counter-argument of the proponents of a pause in the development of advanced AI is that it will cause only short-term losses.
In their opinion, in the long term, a break and additional research can make the use of technology safer and, thereby, more effectively reduce business costs.
However, these arguments do not convince everyone.
Opponents of the suspension of the development of AI argue that the “bad actors ”, despite all the agreements, will still continue to adapt the technology to their needs.
GeopolIItica
Hence the calls to create a system of its legal regulation of AI.
In the United States, for example, the first rudiments of such legislation appeared under Trump (2020), and in November 2022, the Biden administration published the plan of the Bill of Rights in the field of artificial intelligence.
Even more so, so far these are only sketches that have no force under them.
The situation is quite different in China.
By May 2023
Beijing has already been working on a second set of laws regulating AI.
For 6 years, since 2017, the PRC has been studying the legal aspects of the introduction of technology in most areas of life.
One of the goals of this activity is to increase public confidence in AI.
In addition, the presence of rules, according to Chinese experts, will allow entrepreneurs with greater confidence to use AI solutions in the activities of their companies.
A more global and longer-term goal could be to spread Chinese practices to other countries, giving Beijing an edge in technological competition with the United States.
On this account, there are many different considerations: some researchers are confident in the success of the Celestial Empire, another clarifies that the presence of a set of rules does not cancel the lag of China from the United States in some areas of AI (for example, large language models) - but all this only confirms the formation of artificial intelligence technologies as a subject of geopolitical struggle.
RESULTS
The potential risks of AI have been discussed for a long time.
For many years, they were treated superficially, as the beginning of the introduction of technology in everyday life seemed distant.
Nevertheless, the emergence of large language models, the gradual integration of AI solutions in the field of medicine, finance and even art forced experts to think.
Too fast the introduction of artificial intelligence, in their opinion, minimizes the chances of detecting problems in the work of the same language models.
And it seems that there will be more and more such voices.

Content: Study calls for global controls on the use of artificial intelligence
T + T - normal size
Trends Center for Research and Consulting has released a research paper titled “Artificial Intelligence: Enemy or Friend, ” which focuses on the potential risks of AI applications and what action is required before it is too late.
The paper prepared by A.D.
Ahmed Khamis Khalil Al-Janabi said that artificial intelligence is one of the most important of these changes that have brought about transformations in all areas of life, and captured the attention of researchers, it is the product of systems that are intelligent, and behave in the way that humans behave, in terms of learning and understanding.
It is also a form of intelligent computing, in terms of relying on computer software, which can sense, think, learn, and act.
According to the study, AI technologies are mainly aimed at protecting human beings and saving their lives, saving them time and effort, transforming raw information into valuable knowledge, guiding humanity towards new horizons of discovery, characterized by business in the shortest time, in addition to flexibility and ease of testing, ability in hazardous conditions, and achieving good returns.
She pointed out that it is possible to distinguish between three images of artificial intelligence; specialized, general, and super specialized, meaning systems that can perform specific and clear tasks, and artificial intelligence is the type that can work with the ability of similarity of the ability of intelligence in terms of thinking, and the creation of super artificial intelligence, which may exceed the level of human intelligence, and can perform tasks This type has many characteristics that must be included, such as the ability to learn, plan, communicate, and make judgments.
The paper stated that artificial intelligence raises many risks and security and ethical threats in the case of increasing dependence on it in human life, and the huge output of applications is a prelude to a soft war between machine and human.
The resignation of Geoffrey Hinton, who is called the “father of artificial intelligence ” from Google in early May 2023 is a harbinger that alerts us in our Arab countries and the world to these risks related to artificial intelligence.
The paper stressed that artificial intelligence is a reality and its challenges must be prepared for by a team of Arab scientists specialized in artificial intelligence technology, stressing that the time has come to conduct more research on the risks and challenges of artificial intelligence techniques and cyber attacks, and to direct the attention of the international community towards the need to develop a unified legal framework governing the use and regulation of these technologies, and determine appropriate sanctions in case of misuse.

Content: The father of artificial intelligence warns that robots will surpass humans in five years
Monday ، 09 October 2023 02: 15 PM
Jeffrey Hinton
Written by: Nihal Abu Al-Saud
Leave a comment and read the comments of the readers.
Jeffrey Hinton, nicknamed “the godfather of artificial intelligence, ” has called on governments, companies and developers to think carefully about how best to develop the technology safely.
According to CBS, Hinton believes that AI has the potential to bring good and harm and said that now is the time to conduct experiments to understand AI and pass laws to ensure the technology is used ethically.
Hinton warned that AI has the potential to replace humanity one day, saying: “I ’ m not saying it ’ s going to happen if we can stop them from wanting it, it ’ s going to be great, but it ’ s not clear that we can stop them from wanting it. ”
For now, Hinton believes AI is intelligent and that systems can understand and think, but not like humans.
But he warned that there is a good chance that AI models such as ChatGPT will be able to think better than humans.
Hinton believes AI will lead to increased productivity and efficiency, but he is concerned about the potential risk that many people may lose their jobs because of AI, and there may not be enough jobs to replace lost jobs.
He is also concerned about fake news adopted by AI, how biased AI can harm people looking for jobs, and law enforcement ’ s use of technology and autonomous robots on the battlefield.
Hinton said he believes AI systems will eventually have self-awareness and awareness, adding: “I think we ’ re moving into a period where we may have, for the first time ever, things that are smarter than us. ”
Despite his concerns about the potential dangers of AI, Hinton said he has no regrets, in part because of the huge potential the technology has for good.
“We ’ re entering a period of great uncertainty, where we ’ re dealing with things we ’ ve never dealt with before and usually, the first time you ’ re dealing with something completely new, you misunderstand it, ” he said.
We can ’ t afford to be wrong about these things. ”

Content: How can artificial intelligence kill thousands?
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) will have the potential to harm or kill many people in the near future.
At the Wall Street Journal ’ s Chief Executives Board conference in London, he stressed that broad AI models pose an existential threat to humanity.
He also expressed concern about the "existential danger" of the rapidly evolving technology and warned that it would be difficult to contain it, explaining that many people would be hurt or killed.
Schmidt compared artificial intelligence to the rise of nuclear technology, warning that it would be difficult for the world to control its spread.
The expert pointed out that there are close scenarios that talk about artificial intelligence systems will be able to detect gaps and problems in the Internet and new types of biology.
UNESCO stresses that the ethical dimension must be invoked in the ambition of countries to benefit from this technological development in order to reduce the risks resulting from it.
This is a fantasy today, but the logic is likely to be correct, he said, pointing out that when that happens, the bad guys will be ready to use these systems.
In turn, UNESCO has called for the implementation of a 2021 recommendation on ways to develop this intelligence, stressing the creation of a legislative tool to regulate and monitor artificial intelligence, as well as ensuring the “full security of personal and sensitive data. ”
UNESCO stresses that the ethical dimension must be evoked in the ambition of countries to benefit from this technological development in order to reduce the risks resulting from it, and stresses the UN that this technology currently creates significant challenges, especially the possibility of disseminating misleading information, and other violations of the rights of individuals and groups.
Jeffrey Hinton, nicknamed the “godfather of artificial intelligence, ” has previously said he left his role at Google to speak publicly about the“ risks ” of the technology he helped develop.
Google fired an engineer who claimed an undisclosed AI system had become conscious, saying it violated hiring and data security policies.
Hinton ’ s pioneering work in neural networks has shaped artificial intelligence systems that power many contemporary products.
He worked part-time at Google for a decade in the tech giant ’ s AI development efforts, but has since had concerns about the technology and its role in its development.
Hinton ’ s decision to abandon the company and talk about the technology comes as a growing number of lawmakers, advocacy groups and tech insiders have raised alarms about the possibility of a new set of AI-powered chatbots spreading misinformation and displacing jobs.
In July, the company fired an engineer who claimed that an undisclosed AI system had become conscious, saying it violated employment and data security policies.
Many in the AI community strongly refused to confirm what the engineer said.
Hinton told the New York Times, which was the first to report his decision, “I console myself with the ordinary excuse that if I hadn ’ t done it, someone else would have done it. ”

Content: 1 week 10 surprises: artificial intelligence upheaval Hawking predicts human self-destruction
February 11, 2023 10: 00
Eastern Network Television
More News Clips
ChatGPT, a chatbot launched by the US artificial intelligence (AI) research laboratory OpenAI, has recently become popular, setting off an AI craze around the world.
For a moment, countless companies have said that they are studying AI technology, whether it is up to Tencent, Alibaba, byte jump, or even countless second and third line technology companies have suddenly become AI companies, and this sudden degree of fanaticism is even a little scary.
Stephen Hawking, a famous astrophysicist, warned that AI will eventually lead to the destruction of humanity, and now the world seems to be on the path he predicted.
[1, Hawking: comprehensive development of AI led to the extinction of mankind]
As early as 2014, Hawking predicted: "If artificial intelligence (AI) is fully developed, mankind is afraid of self-destruction."
He has also said that AI will eventually develop to a level that is better than human beings, forming a "new type of life."
“I am worried that AI will completely replace humans. If someone designs computer viruses and someone creates AI that can upgrade and replicate itself, it will be a new form of life that will surpass humans, ” he said.
Describing the potential dangers that AI could pose, he said: “I don ’ t think there ’ s a deep difference between what a biological brain and what a computer can achieve.
So in theory, computers can emulate human intelligence and surpass human intelligence. "
Hawking said the development of artificial intelligence could help humanity eliminate disease, eliminate poverty, and stop climate change, but it could also have consequences that people don ’ t want to see, including the creation of autonomous weapons, economic disasters, and the development of machines that have their own will in conflict with humans.
“In short, the rise of powerful artificial intelligence may be the best thing that has happened to humanity, or the worst. ” In his view, the creation of AI will become the most important and last thing in human history if humans do not guard against the potential risks of AI.
Hawking has been described as "the greatest scientist since Galileo and Einstein".
In the early 1970s, he combined quantum mechanics and general relativity to propose the theory of black hole evaporation, which has been described as "one of the most profound papers in the history of physics", and the energy that causes black holes to evaporate is named "Hawking radiation".
Hawking rose to fame in the 1980s with his book A Brief History of Time, becoming the authority on the theory of black holes and the Big Bang, and died in 2018.
Gates: AI will change the world
Unlike Hawking ’ s fear of AI, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has a much more positive view of AI.
He said that the recent explosion of ChatGPT is as important as the invention of the Internet, and believes that the world can be changed again.
So far, he says, AI can read and write but not understand content, but new programs like ChatGPT can improve office efficiency and change the world by helping to write invoices or letters.
He added that AI will be “the hottest topic in 2023. ”
AI will show its value in education, healthcare, and more.
For example, AI can be a math tutor for disadvantaged students, or it can provide medical advice to people in Africa who may have never seen a doctor in their entire lives.
Gates said he would use ChatGPT to do interesting things, such as writing poetry.
It is worth noting that Microsoft itself is also one of the investors in OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, announced in October last year that it will jointly develop a new version of the Bing web search engine with AI capabilities.
[3, Google's AI is derided as "artificial retarded"]
With the rise of ChatGPT, many large science and technology companies are eager to launch an artificial intelligence (AI) war and launch their own AI chatbots.
However, the "Bard" launched by Google has made a joke, dragging down the share price of parent company Alphabet on Wednesday (15th) by 7.68%, reported $99.37, and the market value evaporated 100 billion US dollars.
Netizens even more ruthlessly ridiculed Google ’ s artificial intelligence, calling it “artificial retarded. ”
Google released a short video ad on social media to promote its own AI chatbot Bard.
The market originally hoped that Bard could challenge the recent popularity of ChatGPT, but Bard was unfavorable.
Bard was asked, “About the Webb Space Telescope, can I tell my nine-year-old what new discoveries it has? ” Bard answered many questions, one of which was the first picture of an extrasolar planet taken by the Webb Space Telescope.
However, according to NASA, the first picture of an exoplanet was taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in 2004.
Obviously, Bard gave the wrong answer, raising doubts about its accuracy, and worried that Bard will still be difficult to compete with ChatGPT for the time being, leaving Google behind Microsoft and other competitors in this AI race.
【 4 、 Mainland brokers use AI to write research reports 】
The rise of ChatGPT marks the popularization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology at the general application level, which has the opportunity to change the ecology of many industries in the future, and even replace human beings!
Some mainland brokerages have used ChatGPT to write research reports, and later rated the report as “readable ” and“ good smoothness ”, adding that this AI technology can “significantly improve efficiency ” and the user experience is smoother.
Caithong Securities Research Institute recently released an industry research report entitled "Improve external beauty, enhance internal self-confidence - medical beauty revolution", the author signed only "ChatGPT", and no analyst name.
The report, which is about 6,000 words in total, begins with the statement, “To test whether ChatGPT can be used for research, we have used ChatGPT to write a medical and aesthetic industry research report. ”
In addition, due to the AI ’ s ability to process English better than Chinese, the report chose to use English generation for translation.
Lee Yueh-po, director of the Caithong Securities Research Institute, also shared her feelings through social media.
In addition to praising the usefulness of AI, she also mentioned some shortcomings in AI reporting, such as “there are still more parts to be manually confirmed and adjusted, and the accuracy and timeliness of the content needs to be improved; the data source cannot be directly provided; there is a lack of semantics in complex sentence patterns. ”
[5, the stock of the big weak friend: the index will fall again 3%]
Although the recent AI hot trend has caused some concept stocks to be scrambled.
However, foreign media reported that David Rosenberg, who is a “big friend ” of US stocks, warned that investors will face more pain in the financial market in the coming months, because the recession has just begun, and US stocks are expected to fall another 30% before they stop raising interest rates.
For nearly a year, Rosenberg has emphasized that investors should take the Federal Reserve ’ s efforts to combat inflation seriously.
He said the recession was just beginning.
Investors will experience more uncertainty before the Fed suspends interest rate hikes and begins cutting rates.
Fortunately for investors, he predicts, the Fed will pause interest rate hikes or even cut rates in 2023; but unfortunately before that, the S & P 500 may be down 30% from its current level, bottoming out at close to 2,900, and by then the stock market will be attractive again, but it is 2024.
[6, Mormon Dimon: It is too early to beat inflation or rise above 5%]
One of the catalysts for a big drop in US stocks is inflationary pressure.
JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon said it should not be premature to declare victory over inflation and warned that if eventually high prices were “sticky, ” the US Federal Reserve could raise interest rates above 5%.
Despite the good January employment data, it is perfectly reasonable for the Fed to raise interest rates to 5% and wait for a while; if inflation falls to 3.5% or 4% and stays at this level, it may have to raise rates to 5%, which could affect both short-term and long-term interest rates.
Erian: 75% chance of inflation rebound, Fed threatens to keep interest rates high
Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic adviser to Allianz, believes that inflation has a 75% chance of rebounding, and the US Federal Reserve could eventually drag the economy down by failing to control inflation.
He warned that inflation could remain at 4%.
He estimated that inflation could rebound or be high, with only a 25% chance of a steady downward trend from now on. There is a 25% chance that prices will rebound and trigger U-shaped inflation.
He pointed out that the most likely scenario is for inflation to remain at 3 to 4%, with a chance of about 50%.
That would force the Fed to choose whether to drag the economy down and bring inflation back to its 2% target, or whether the United States can withstand inflation at 3 to 4%.
This means the authorities need to keep interest rates high, he said.
Erian warned that if the Fed loosens its fight against inflation too quickly, it risks undermining the Fed ’ s credibility and triggering another inflationary crisis like the 1970s when prices are expected to spiral out of control.
He believes that if the inflation panic is only temporary, the best way to deal with it is to wait for it to end, and that self-reliance will only aggravate the problem and make it more difficult to solve.
[8, Dr. Doomsday: the next 10 years, the dollar lost or the current two polar currencies]
In addition to worries about the future of US stocks, the US dollar's hegemony, which is the foundation of its existence, is also disappearing, and its financial hegemony will not be guaranteed in the long run.
The US dollar is rapidly losing its competitive edge compared to the RMB, and the US dollar ’ s status as the main reserve currency is likely to decline in the next 10 years. The increasing geopolitical competition between China and the US will inevitably be reflected in the polarized global reserve currency system. The emergence of extreme monetary and financial systems.
Writing in foreign media, Roubini, who successfully predicted the 2008 economic crisis, pointed out that as the world becomes more divided between the influence of the United States and China, a two-polar rather than multi-polar monetary system may eventually replace a single-polar one.
China is stepping up Renminbi trading with foreign partners, which is likely to continue, and given that more trade with China than with the United States, this means that more emerging markets will welcome the ability to trade oil in Renminbi and hold a larger share of Renminbi reserves.
For the RMB to become a mainstream reserve currency, China needs to remove capital controls and allow permanent current-account deficits, and the RMB exchange rate needs to be more flexible. However, Roubini believes that this premise is no longer applicable as the US has its own set of monetary controls, such as financial sanctions against competitors.
[9, British think tank: local living standards permanently decline economic situation is comparable to recession]
Many analyses have concluded that the British economy, which many Hong Kong people emigrate to, will fall into recession this year.
However, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), a local think tank, predicts that the UK economy will still grow by 0.2% this year, and there will be no quarter of negative growth, which means that it will technically avoid a recession, but because of the permanent decline in living standards, NIESR admits that it is actually the same as a recession.
One in four or seven million UK households are still struggling with inflation and the cost of living crisis has not been resolved, according to the agency ’ s economists.
Energy prices have fallen recently, but are still significantly higher than before the war in Russia and Ukraine, and although the wage increase has not kept pace with inflation, the agency estimates that these households will find it difficult to rely on household income to pay their food and energy bills in the new year.
When the poorest families receive government subsidies, NIESR bluntly states that middle-income families will suffer the most in this round, and their disposable income will fall by 7-13% in the new year, that is, by up to £4,000 (about HK $37,900).
This has caused many people who want to retire early to postpone their plans, and it is expected that many people aged 50 to 64 who have no job will need to return to work to make money.
Inflation is one of the main worries of the macro-economy and individual households this year. Although Prime Minister Sim Wei-shing promised at the beginning of the year that he would cut inflation in half this year, the latest figure has fallen for two consecutive months, but it is still high at 10.5%.
The think tank expects inflation to remain above 3% by the end of 2024 and to fall to 2% by the third quarter of 2025, the Bank of England target.
【 10 、 The return rate of China Investment Bank ’ s “Undecoupled ” option can reach 14% 】
On the 40th anniversary of the Linked Exchange Rate this year, hedge fund managers have from time to time threatened to bet on the decoupling of the Hong Kong dollar from the US dollar.
A Chinese bank recently offered a USDHKD Strangle Options contract to individual private bank clients. The client also sold a 12-month subscription and the right to subscribe for US dollars. During the validity period, as long as the exchange rate is stable at the level of 7.75 to 7.85, the client can earn the option, the return rate is higher than 9%, and the bank receives a handling fee of nearly HK $2 million. And...
It is reported that similar options contracts are very common in the financial market, and most of them are bought and sold between foreign or local banks and institutional investors, while sales to private banking clients are rare.
According to the media, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Asia) recently offered US $100 million (HK $780 million) per contract to some private banking customers, with a nominal value of US $100 million (HK $780 million) for 12 months. HK $50 million (leverage ratio more than 15 times), the client as the party to sell the options is equal to the link is not disconnected. During the validity period, as long as the link system is not disconnected, the client can earn about $4 million option. If the deposit of the customer is paid with the deposit interest (4-5%), the total return rate can exceed 14%.

Content: Technology in the face of democracy
In September 2021, data scientist Frances Hogan resigned her position at Facebook and then revealed tens of thousands of pages of the company ’ s documents, research and correspondence, which were submitted to Congress and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The documents, which sparked a storm of hate and lawsuits against Facebook and its CEO, indicate that the platform not only affects the mental health of adolescents, enables the spread of populist hate speech, and enhances the work of human trafficking gangs, but the company is aware of these drawbacks, and is either satisfied with them or unable to reduce them; contrary to what Mark Zuckerberg says about the platform ’ s ability and algorithms to provide a safer environment for teenagers. To contribute to the promotion of democratic values and the reduction of hate speech.
In this article, I do not want to try to prove the company ’ s intention or claim, but rather to trace the reasons that made such phenomena possible, whether on Facebook, Instagram or other social media platforms; which will lead us to the conclusion that this case does not apply to Facebook alone, and it is not related to someone ’ s intention or disability, but it is a fundamental characteristic of all the tech giants and determine how they work and dominate their business model. This is what the American economist Shoshana Zuboff calls “behavioral surplus value. ”
In Zuboff ’ s view, the tech giants of today ’ s world are operating on a single business model that Google established after the dot-com bubble in 2008 — one that doesn ’ t stop selling consumer data, information, and surveillance — what Zuboff calls “surveillance capitalism, ” but rather establishes what Zuboff calls the“ prediction goods market, ” a market that relies on collecting user information from social networks and converting it into algorithms. able to predict their behavior.
These algorithms and their results are then sold to marketers, contestants in election races, or authoritarian governments to monitor consumers more broadly and make their control more monopolistic in the market.
Zuboff ’ s analysis will be very useful in understanding the phenomenon, which leads us to trace its historical roots in the first section of the article.
It seems that we will be facing a fundamental thesis that we will have to criticize, and this criticism is the first objective of the article.
There is a thesis led by Zuboff herself and shared by many of the top technicians in these companies, and a number of commentators and democratic politicians, all of whom argue that the phenomena revealed by the Hogan documents and other similar phenomena are real, but they seem to see it as a tax to be paid for the promised fruits of the technical world, and that algorithms are able to correct its course by themselves, especially Zuboff. Inside it is led by the “top minds of the business world. ”
The second argument the article will address is that a mere commodity such as the “prediction market commodity ” is hostile to democracy, the rule of law, equality, and privacy.
It is true that “surveillance capitalism ” is part of monopoly capitalism, but I would argue that it goes beyond this, and that its effects extend from the economy to all spheres of social life, especially its negative effects on the future of democracy.
The third thing we focus on is that falling into a pessimistic vision of humanity ’ s future under technology is just another facet of the rosy narrative promoted by tech giants of the story of the inevitable rise of technology, but in its pessimistic version.
The emergence of the forecasting market and behavioral surplus value
After the rise of neoliberal capitalism following the waves of inflation and recession in the 1970s, the authors of neoliberal programs decided that the policies of state intervention in the economy and the extension of social protection for the people were no longer profitable.
Neoliberalism retained the core elements of classical economic liberalism, such as freedom and individualism, but the role of the state in social protection and welfare programs was hotly contested by policymakers and legislators.
While some countries in Europe have pursued so-called systemic liberalism aimed at maintaining and expanding social protection programmes, notably Germany, Britain and the United States have gone the other way, reducing the role of the state in the economy and expanding market freedom, trade and international lending institutions at the expense of social spending.
Hence the story of monopolistic technology as we know it today began, coinciding with the collapse of the value of the shares of major technology companies in the so-called dot-com bubble in 2001, which was followed by severe frustration with the future of technology and its promise and ability to develop capitalism.
After that, Google took a step that will henceforth define the future of tech companies and their practices; the move is to abandon its hostility to advertising gains due to shareholder pressure.
Google has decided to increase advertising revenue through hell, which has opened the door for the rest of the companies to follow suit by monopolizing access to its users ’ data and using it in online promotion and marketing services, which has long been known as “data exhaustion. ”
Using its superior analytical capabilities, Google has adopted a new way of making money by building algorithms that can predict consumer behavior; from monitoring your online activity, for example, the algorithms recognize your buying habits and preferences and ways of diversifying your sources of consumption, and of course, the level and types of spending, and even your reluctance to buy a particular product when you receive an ad for another.
These algorithms provide sellers with not only real-time information about consumer preferences, but also predictions of consumer preferences in the near future.
With this behavioral revolution, excess data has become the basis for new prediction markets that we now know as targeted advertising.
This is what Zuboff calls “behavioral surplus-value, ” where a user ’ s online behavior, obscene and monopolized data, becomes a mine for value extraction and profit.
Google does not care about the consumer and his decisions, and this data is often taken without consent or acknowledgement from the consumer.
This new type of “prediction goods market ” quickly became a role model for all major Silicon Valley companies, and advertising became as important to Google as the development of the search engine on which the company was founded.
When Google went public in 2004, the company revealed that after adopting the plan, it increased its revenue from 2001 to 2004 by more than 3,500 percent.
Zuboff points out that Google CEO Sheryl Sandberg ’ s move to Facebook represented a magical, contagious transition to this new plan based on behavioral surplus value extraction, or “prediction goods trade, ” which is no longer limited to Silicon Valley companies since 2008, but has moved to sectors such as insurance, retail, healthcare, finance, entertainment, education, transportation, and so on, creating a“ new production pattern. ” Zubov is a whole “new environment ” of suppliers, producers, customers and market makers.
In that market, every product or service starts with “smart ” or“ customized, ” every device connects to the internet, and every “digital assistant ” is simply an interface for a supply chain of behavioral data that helps predict the future of what Zuboff calls the“ surveillance economy. ”
The “prediction goods market ” merges three categories into one:“ user, consumer, and consumer data, ” and this triad is henceforth just multiple facets of a single phenomenon, which Zuboff calls “indigenous people ” in the style of the colonial invasion and exploitation model.
Today we do not lack a plethora of expressions that attempt to describe what the technological market has changed the structure of global capitalism.
We will find “algorithmic capitalism, ”“ cognitive capitalism, ” “communicative capitalism, ”“ data capitalism, ” “digital capitalism, ”“ information capitalism, ” “platform capitalism, ”“ surveillance capitalism, ” and “virtual capitalism, ” to name a few.
Recently, then, capitalism is abandoning itself and retreating into a world of “data emperors, ” which is why this phenomenon has been called“ digital feudalism, ” “technological feudalism, ”“ information feudalism, ” or simply “new feudalism. ”
But if tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon are not accumulating their wealth through capitalism ’ s old exploitative mechanisms of labor itself, and while today ’ s production process is not based on manufacturing, but on monopolistic control over data sets and algorithms to extract advertising revenues generated elsewhere in the capitalist economy, is this a new stage of capitalism?
The big companies that rely on technology do not make a profit, but their market value continues to rise due to speculation in the markets, representing what is known as the model of "selling growth", is this model considered a transgression of capitalism?
Is it a new form of “digital expropriation ” that fuels a new logic of accumulation that can be seen as a structural change in the structure of capitalism, similar to the model of“ accumulation by plunder ” posited by David Harvey in The New Imperialism?
Or is it, as Cedric Durand put it in his book “Technical Feudalism, ” that the tech giants are effectively subjecting us to their rule by controlling information and knowledge in a“ knowledge monopoly, ” thus creating ever more sophisticated means of seizing surplus value without getting involved in the production process?
Darwinism and counter-Darwinism
The main problem of technology today, and the way it extracts value through monopoly, is not merely that it is a monopoly, not that it leads us to a social reality similar to Big Brother ’ s world, but that it is based on a structural transformation of the labor market.
The merging of knowledge with technology and markets means that everyone who has nothing to sell will be despised, and a new kind of individualism will triumph, not the “liberal individualism ” promised by the liberal project, but a technical individualism that cares so much about the“ user-consumer-data ” triad. Achille Mbembe: “The Nasi ” who will be every day the firewood of a new“ trend ”, a new empty battle, incitement against minorities, or the fire of populism that has become the hallmark of our time.
What matters is that the individual is a vessel of data, a catalyst for more consumption of this class struggle that denies its nature on the Internet, for more gain, the Hogan documents published by the Wall Street Journal tell us.
It will now seem to every user aware that “contempt ” is the basic commodity of the Internet, as the statistics contained in the documents indicate that the most popular and promoted materials are the materials inciting hatred and intolerance against minorities and insults and self-generated nonsense every day, which are most able to acquire interested people who volunteer their data to participate in battles for gains, as leaked studies from Facebook Labs tell us. A humanistic library containing the most accurate information of community members that is updated in real time for the purposes of censorship and social regulation, as China ’ s experience tells us.
So it doesn ’ t stop at monopoly, it doesn ’ t break down into a pessimistic picture as terms like “feudalism ” or“ big brother ” are trying to tell us.
The problem with such critical attempts is that they confront conflict-based technical Darwinism with a counter-Darwinism stemming from what American businessman and writer Alvin Toffler in the 1960s called the “shock of the future, ” a disappointment in the ambition of resisting capitalism.
These thinkers now present technology to us as a new stage in our human history, as if it were irrelevant to the recent capitalist past.
Technology and its hostility to democracy
The philosophers of the Enlightenment preached historical progress, a linear time on a straight path to better and higher, but the irony of the history of progress is that every historical frustration we have experienced has turned the idea of progress against itself and portrayed history as an ominous march towards further degeneration and ugliness.
The present of technology is no exception: the fleeting hopes of the rise of technology, which heralded a future in which machine and man are allied against evil, have been transformed into an antithesis that foreshadows the merging of machine and evil into a tragedy in which man becomes the victim.
We just have to start by accepting that every sinister scenario we invent to terrorize ourselves is only a part of our history, built by human beings like us, and can be transcended.
Western intellectual traditions have traditionally explained and understood the modern political world through a dichotomy between the private and the public, with the private sphere centered on the family, personal life and self-reflection, and the public centered on public morality, communion, governance of the state, administration, and institution.
But there is a third scope proposed by the famous German political thinker Hanna Arendt that mediates these two arguments: the “social ” sphere where collective feelings, feelings, and preferences are concentrated among connected groups of people — a set of values that people share without agreement that express their hopes, moral biases, and vision for the future.
When democracy defeated Nazism in World War II, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s coincided with the rise of globalization, a set of public values had settled in the West, with the private between the values of conservative Christian families and the values of generalized individualism, dominated by capitalist values, the state of institutions, the free economy, and the decline of the welfare state.
The social sphere is dominated by the values of democracy, individualism, scientific appreciation, technical optimism, and other values that neoliberal capitalism reluctantly shared with democracy under the pressure of labor movements and social participation.
However, a greater aspiration is emerging within the institutions of neoliberalism, which has tended increasingly to abandon democratic values, with greater emphasis on reaping the benefits of globalization and wealth accumulation, and withdrawing from the industrial to the financial economy.
At the height of this ambition, technology and its investments waited for the attention they deserved.
Technology today is taking over human history, and the German philosopher Martin Heidegger once warned us that the problem of technology does not stop at the fact that our perception of the future is always linked to technology in a way that prevents us from imagining any future at all without thinking about it, but goes beyond that to the essence of technology itself, the social motivations behind its creation, reliance and attachment to it.
If it is the case that we are looking at technology as a savior who will arrive in the future to solve our tragedies at one time, and seeing it as a catastrophe that drags the present into an ominous future at another time, the tragedy here is not due to technology as a set of machines or tools to extract value, but rather to what led us to turn between these two extremes.
There are several reasons why the technical age is not a transgression of neoliberalism, not even a transgression of the worst.
One of these reasons is that the crisis of neoliberalism has manifested itself in a set of chronic problems that technology does not overcome and replace with other problems that require new thinking, but rather radicalize, expand and transfer to other spheres of social and individual life; or simply generalize them.
The Norwegian-American economist Thorstein Veblen argued more than a decade ago in his book The Theory of the Luxury Class that the capitalist class by its very nature tends to withdraw from the burden of engaging in the productive process, which culminates with the expansion of monetary capitalism and the increasing transformation of relations between the capitalist and other producers, producers and workers into creditors and debtors. Technical "user-consumer-consumer data", in which the debtor himself becomes the user, the worker, the consumer and the data miner that feeds the forecasting market.
This brings us to a second crisis caused by neoliberalism, the crisis of employment, which is usually presented as a problem independent of the rest of the productive system that gave rise to it.
It goes without saying that the tendency of capital to invest in debt products will attract a large amount of assets that were previously earmarked for investment in commodity production, which will have a negative impact on employment opportunities.
But if we look at the essence of this technological triad, we find that technological transformation is at the heart of this process: less reliance on labor, less wage labor, because the very existence of the triad “user ” on the Internet produces value by itself through an algorithm that works in a vacuum of its own, which is originally a set of programming phrases written by one or more people.
The programmer ’ s income may rise to unprecedented levels, and indeed this is happening, but on the other hand, the chances of employment will be very low.
Most importantly, it brings us to a third dilemma: social inequality will increase dramatically, as “knowledge workers ” will have all the opportunities, while anyone who finds nothing to sell in the commodity market relationships of forecasting will be shamed.
We shall live, or rather we shall live, in a new division of social positions in which knowledge becomes, by definition, logarithmic knowledge, and there will be no value left for any other profession that is unable to transform itself into the language of zeros and ones.
One of the most important characteristics of the modern technical sector is that it operates, to a significant extent, outside the framework of the law governing the rest of social life, in a situation similar to that of the medieval church of independent rule.
Technology ’ s work outside the law is due to two things: the “computational ambiguity ” inherent in the very nature of its work.
Western critics and philosophers of the law have long complained about the ambiguity of the law, about the multiplicity of cases of application of the law, and about incidents of social and human life, but now we are faced with a phenomenon so vague that the legislator is unable to understand the subject to which he will be asked to enact a legal framework to regulate his work.
We have all seen the expressions of the congressional committee at the hearing of Mark Zuckerberg against the background of his accusation of misuse of Facebook subscriber data for political purposes, a scene not without the horror on Zuckerberg ’ s face, but the signs of surprise and misunderstanding that the members of the hearing committee, as people of the world war generation unfamiliar with the Internet, are unmistakable.
The second thing that surrounds the mystery of the technology is the topics it deals with and depends on its transformation into commodities, and the pace at which this rapid and unprecedented process took place in history, a process that has no legal precedent, of course.
Did Google, for example, have to obtain permits from countries around the world to photograph its streets and monitor its maps in order to develop the Google Maps app?
Did an algorithm to track phones to detect traffic jams on motorways and pedestrians need the approval of a constitutional court in a country?
The answer is no, of course.
Even the most democratic legal solutions, especially those that the EU is doing through its various institutions and are already appreciated, trying to reduce the opportunities and possibilities of the technical monopoly, and trying to protect the privacy of its citizens against the transformation of their data into resources for extraction of value; they all seem to remain worthless for two reasons: First, they are trying to legalize the extraction of data that should not exist in the first place. Second, political and authoritarian uses for security control are attractive to any country with borders and sovereignty, especially at the first intimidation of its political borders, the harm of refugees to its national unity, or the harmony of its social fabric, as the case of China clearly illustrates.
Finally, technology relies on undermining individual self-determination, individual autonomy, and decision-making rights in favor of the unfettered flow of behavioral data that feeds markets that are ours but not ours.
This anti-democratic and anti-egalitarian tyrant is best described as a market-driven coup from above: the overthrow of a people hidden within a digital Trojan horse, without finally being able to emancipate.
Based on the power of human inclusion within it, this coup achieves exclusive concentrations of knowledge and power, that is, it is a form of tyranny that feeds on people, but not people.
Paradoxically, this coup is celebrated as “personalizing ” things, while ignoring, transcending, and replacing everything that is personal.

The world today – 2023.
Year of Artificial Intelligence
You are now following the news of 2023.
The year of artificial intelligence from the Department of World News and now we leave you with the full details
Mohammed - Abu Dhabi on Friday, December 29, 2023 08: 23 AM - The year 2023 witnessed a remarkable turning point in the technological sectors, especially in light of the revolution of artificial intelligence, which received more attention and controversy throughout the year, and with the great development in various applications, and raised questions about the future, whether artificial intelligence can replace the human element, and other questions.
If 2023 is the year of artificial intelligence par excellence, it has also recorded many advances in technology, in terms of the acceleration of innovations related to augmented reality, for example, and other recent versions of the technology giants.
Other than these innovations, which are accelerating, there are key “issues and files ” that have imposed themselves on the sector, which are also expected to be carried by 2024, and whose chapters will witness further developments.
What are the most prominent of these cases?
And where does technology take us?
A report published by the British newspaper “The Guardian ”, by writer Alex Hearn, reviewed a number of the most interesting technological files during the year 2023, foremost of which are cyber attacks, as well as what he described as the“ existential risks of artificial intelligence ”, as well as the development of augmented reality technologies, along with the technological issues associated with cryptocurrencies.
In relation to cyber attacks, reference was made to previous warnings by a British parliamentary committee, which said the UK government was at high risk of being exposed to a “catastrophic ransomware attack ” that could“ bring the country to a standstill ” due to poor planning and lack of investment.
Future ransomware attacks could pose a "threat to physical security or the safety of human life", the report said, if cyber attackers were able to sabotage operations.
The report also warned of the possibility of intercepting "physical cyber systems", including the control of hackers to guide and choke cargo ships - and experiments have shown that this can be achieved.
According to the report, the “risks of artificial intelligence ” are being taken seriously in a way that wasn ’ t just a year ago.
Generative Artificial Intelligence
These issues have been, and continue to be, controversial in 2023, especially with major milestones throughout the year and notable developments, especially with regard to the widespread advancement of AI technologies and the feverish competition between tech giants to develop new applications, including generative AI, the revolution launched by OpenAI with the launch of Chat GPT and many other platforms that have followed suit.
The boom cannot be seen in isolation from the broad advances in technology in general, with many governments offering incentives to support these projects, along with regulations aimed at dominating markets.
The most prominent milestones in the technological file during the year can not be limited without addressing the fierce “chip war ”, which has captured much of the year, amid the escalation of the trade war between the United States and China, and the fierce competition for the“ oil of the future ” formed by chips that enter almost all industries.
That war was one of the milestones in 2023 and is expected to continue in the coming year in a context of strong competition between countries and large companies for the ownership and development of the oil of the future.
The Artificial Intelligence Revolution
Technology development specialist Hisham Al-Natour provides a brief summary of the most prominent developments related to technology during the year 2023, some of which have been ongoing since previous years but witnessed wider breakthroughs in 2023. These breakthroughs are expected to continue in the coming years, driven by the development of artificial intelligence technologies on a large scale, as follows:
• One of the key points of 2023, which is always in the center of all the files related to technology, was the axis of “artificial intelligence ”.
• AI applications have been used in many areas, including the financial, economic, and even political sectors, electric vehicles, life and everyday business.
• Artificial intelligence is involved in the details of our lives and accurately..
To keep abreast of the development of artificial intelligence technologies and follow them requires full time (in reference to the extent of progress made in the application level).
• Among the rapid developments is also the expansion of the use of cloud data, or cloud storage; many companies large and small and even individuals have resorted to cloud storage, as it is more secure than traditional hard drives or hard drives.
• This trend towards cloud storage has encouraged companies to improve their performance and communication among themselves, and to develop their products and services extensively.
In the age of modern technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is a quantum leap in improving and improving our daily lives and is revolutionizing business.
Artificial intelligence makes it possible to take advantage of advanced technology based on intelligent computing and machine learning, which offers huge possibilities for improving efficiency and making more accurate decisions.
The impact of artificial intelligence extends to various aspects of our lives, including health, education, and business.
Digitization
Al-Natour adds to these developments regarding the acceleration of digitization processes in many countries around the world, adding: “We have witnessed an increasing trend towards digitization around the world, which serves the efforts of governments to fight bribery and corruption, as well as to facilitate citizens and government and official transactions.
The citizen can conduct his transactions without papers, while he is sitting at home. ”
He points out that many of these developments have been largely linked to artificial intelligence, in light of the boom achieved by AI applications in general.
In this context, it also notes significant technological developments, including:
• The development of privacy and security technologies, which have increased in importance with the acceleration of the use of technology.
• Cyber attacks that the world witnessed in 2023, some of which have been linked to the poles of the world, in the shadow of the war between Ukraine and Russia, and even in relation to cyber attacks between the United States and Russia, the United States and China, and others.
According to Kaspersky data, nearly 411,000 malicious files a day were detected this year, indicating an increase in the frequency of attacks compared to last year and up to 3% compared to last year.
• Employ technology in efforts to combat climate change, such as carbon storage technologies, and in light of the international interest to address climate change and achieve international climate goals.
• Applications for self-driving cars based on artificial intelligence, and similar applications such as medical operations without human intervention or limited human intervention.
He also points to the expansion of virtual or augmented reality and metaverse technologies among the most prominent developments recorded in 2023 with regard to the technological file, as well as the range of applications that are used in education, entertainment, electronic games and others.
This comes hand in hand with the evolution of the Internet of Things, in the contexts of digital transformation.
In addition to the development of the fifth generation networks.
The war between the major poles, especially with regard to electronic chips and other related files.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is an important addition and a revolution in technology and our daily lives in general.
Artificial intelligence enhances the ability to process and analyze data in efficient and fast ways, opening new horizons for innovation and progress in a wide range of fields.
Artificial intelligence has also emerged as a key enabler for more accurate and effective data analysis, enabling informed decisions to be made.
Whether it ’ s in business, medicine, education, or even in our daily lives, AI offers analytical capabilities that contribute to better understanding information and evidence-based decision-making.
It also supports the improvement of process efficiency, as artificial intelligence contributes to the improvement of process efficiency in various sectors.
Intelligent big data analysis and machine learning make it possible to improve workflow, reduce errors and increase productivity.
Together with the integration of technologies, so that artificial intelligence contributes to the integration of different technologies better.

Renewed Debate on ‘ Conscious ’ Artificial Intelligence
“Artificial intelligence technologies are becoming conscious, ” one Google engineer said, so he was fired from his job, sparking controversy outside Silicon Valley on the subject, which is no longer just science fiction.
In an article published on Medium this weekend, employee Black Lemoan wrote that LaMDA, Google ’ s information program dedicated to creating chatbots, “has complete clarity about what he wants and what he sees as his rights as a person. ”
This view was met with widespread reactions, both from the tech giant and from the scientific community, ranging from two extremes, the worst of which was described as absurd and the best considered premature.
Machine learning programs are “trained ” on the basis of a dataset that addresses the concepts of consciousness or identity, and are thus able to give a false impression.
Language and Machines
Machines cannot formulate new terms that express new concepts and processes that did not exist before; philosophers, writers, and even technologists use different creative ways to derive and generate the words they need to express new ideas or techniques.
In contrast, machines lack this creative approach, which requires high analytical capabilities even for technical concepts, according to a previous report by Al Jazeera Net.
Machines cannot convey the aesthetic of text and spirit in great literary works; the expressive dexterity of writers is a special feature of writers who are able to create beautiful metaphors to evoke strong emotions, often the result of hard creative work.
Even if machines could replace translators in certain fields, literary translation would still be the exclusive prerogative of skilled translators, and machines could actually replace “translators ” who translate in a“ mechanical ” and non-creative way.
Lacking an understanding of different cultures around the world, machines often fail to recognize the complexities behind particular cultural expressions and cannot convey them to their target language equivalents.
Context plays a confusing role for machines, while translators serve humans and help master the transmission of meaning.
Ignoring ethics.
The academic Susan Schneider noted that "programs that have access to the Internet can answer any question," but this fact does not make the claim credible.
Schneider, who founded a think tank at Florida Atlantic University, does not support the sanctions against the Google engineer.
She noted that Google tended to “try to ignore ethical issues ” although“ there is a need for public discussion on these thorny topics. ”
Google spokesman Brian Gabriel said: “Hundreds of researchers and engineers have spoken to Lambda, but as far as we know, none of them have seen these assertions, and I don ’ t consider Lambda ’ s program to be as human as Blake did. ”
Mark Kingwell, professor of philosophy at the University of Toronto, Canada, recalled that the idea of a non-human entity in which life is resurrected “exists in our imagination, ” from Pinocchio to“ Her ” (the story of a romantic relationship with a conversational robot).
"It is therefore difficult to determine the distance between what we imagine is possible and what actually exists."
According to the Turing test, if the tester had a conversation with a computer without realizing that he was not talking to a human, the machine would have "succeeded".
“It ’ s very easy for AI to achieve in 2022, ” Kingwell said.
Emily Bandar, a computer linguist, said: "When we see a series of words in a language we speak...
We think we are aware of the spirit that generates these sentences, ” and scientists are even able to give a persona to an artificial intelligence program.
Awareness and Feelings
Shashank Srivastava, a computer science professor at the University of North Carolina, explained that "it is possible, for example, to make artificial intelligence more like a neurotic person" by training him in conversations that a depressed person might have.
If the chatbot integrates a humanoid robot with hyper-realistic facial expressions, or if the program writes poems or composes music, as some programs do today, our biological senses are easily fooled.
Emily Bandar said that we are swimming in the media hype that deals with artificial intelligence, adding that "a lot of money is being invested in this area.
So employees in this sector feel that they are working on something important and real and don ’ t necessarily have the distance needed ” to judge things.
But how can we determine with certainty whether the artificial entity has become sentient and conscious?
“If we succeed in replacing nerve tissue with electronic chips, it will be a sign that machines can be conscious, ” says Susan Schneider.
She went on to say that there was progress made by Noralink, a startup founded by Elon Musk to manufacture brain implants for medical purposes, but also “to ensure the future of humanity as a civilization for artificial intelligence, ” according to Tesla ’ s president.
The billionaire, in turn, belongs to a vision that fears that control could devolve to machines with superior capabilities.
Mark Kingwell, however, felt that the opposite was true.
If one day an independent entity appears capable of mastering a language, of “acting on its own within a given environment, ” with preferences and weaknesses,“ it will be important not to regard it as a slave...
work to protect him. ”
Blake Lemoane may not have convinced anyone that Lambda is conscious, but he has reignited an increasingly political debate that is less and less seen as fictional.
What does Lambda want?
“He wants Google to put the good of humanity first, and to be recognized as an employee and not as the property of Google, ” the article engineer replied.

Google CEO Admits Artificial Intelligence Failed to Make These Mistakes
The failure of the artificial intelligence system, Google founder, Sergey Brin, acknowledged the failure of the system he sought to implement the company, and came his shocking statements in his speech during the event "Gemini 1.5 Hackathon".
According to Russia Today, Brin admitted that the company made mistakes in the development of its Gemini AI system, and admitted that it did not conduct a comprehensive test before its launch last month.
Brin supported public criticism of the company over Gemini ’ s AI biases in handling images and answers, where Vikings, the Founding Fathers of the United States and Nazi soldiers were depicted in black or Asian colors, and refused to show a picture of a white family.
Causes of Artificial Intelligence Failure
The regime also showed oddly slanted answers to informational inquiries, refusing to denounce sexual harassment of children and warning against calling the Antifa movement “violent. ”
He also hesitated to make a decisive judgment when asked who was worse for humanity between singer Barbara Streisand and Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.
In a quick reaction to the criticism, Google ’ s CEO acknowledged that the Gemini app had problems and showed biases in text and images, calling them “completely unacceptable. ”
The company is working to address these problems.
The company suspended the robot's ability to produce images on February 22, citing the "inaccuracy" of its depiction of historical figures and other people.
Google ’ s parent subsidiary Alphabet ’ s market value was lost by nearly $100 billion within one week of Gemini ’ s suspension.

What is the future of artificial intelligence?
As part of our year-end story package, ChatGPT commissioned us to write a guest post about the future of generative AI.
The claim asked for a 1,200 word essay (a number that was undermined by a large margin) exploring the potential negative and positive consequences of the technology.
We then asked her to include real-world examples, apparently beyond her abilities.
We also asked her to include a section on the recent Sam Altman disaster, which, as you will soon read, was also not a topic she could describe privately.
Below is the unedited output with light formatting changes.
Navigating the future of generative AI: balancing exciting possibilities with potential pitfalls
Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful force, reshaping the technological landscape thanks to its ability to independently create content.
From language models such as GPT-3 to image generation algorithms, generative AI holds enormous promise for the future.
However, this promising future is not without challenges.
In this article, we will explore the potential negative consequences and the most exciting possibilities of generative AI, with the aim of balancing optimism with caution.
In addition, we will address the recent leadership shift involving Sam Altman at OpenAI, highlighting ethical considerations associated with AI development.
Sam Altman ’ s Leadership Transformation: Lessons in Ethical Artificial Intelligence
In recent months, the AI community has seen a major leadership shift at OpenAI that Sam Altman has been involved in.
The CEO, known for his influential role in guiding OpenAI initiatives, faced a period of controversy over his subsequent dismissal and reappointment.
This incident highlighted the challenges associated with ethical considerations in the development and management of AI.
Addressing ethical concerns: Sam Altman ’ s leadership transformation has led to a reassessment of ethical considerations in AI development and regulatory decision-making.
The incident raised questions about transparency and accountability and the need for strong ethical frameworks to guide the development and deployment of AI technologies.
Transparency and accountability: The leadership transition emphasized the importance of transparency in organizational decision-making, especially in contexts involving AI technologies with wide-ranging implications.
He highlighted the need to hold leaders and organizations accountable for their actions and to ensure that ethical guidelines were followed.
Community Engagement: The controversy surrounding Sam Altman ’ s leadership transformation has also highlighted the importance of involving the wider community in decisions related to AI development.
The call for more inclusive decision-making processes has gained momentum, reinforcing the idea that diverse perspectives play a crucial role in overcoming the ethical challenges associated with AI technologies.

Possible negative consequences
Ethical Concerns and Prejudice
One of the primary concerns with generative AI is its susceptibility to biases found in training data.
If the data used to train these models reflects societal biases, AI may inadvertently perpetuate these biases and amplify them in their resulting content.
Addressing this problem is critical to preventing AI systems from inadvertently promoting and spreading harmful stereotypes.
Security Threats and Deep Counterfeiting
The ability of generative AI to produce highly realistic and compelling content raises serious security concerns.
Deepfakes, for example, are images or videos created by artificial intelligence that manipulate content and superimpose it on real footage.
This technology can be exploited for harmful purposes, such as creating fake news, impersonating individuals or spreading misleading information.
With the development of generative AI, the challenge of distinguishing between real and fake content has become increasingly difficult.
Invasion of Privacy
Advances in generative artificial intelligence also raise concerns about privacy violations.
The ability to create realistic images and videos of individuals who have never been involved in creating such content poses a risk to personal privacy.
Protecting individuals from the unauthorized use of their images in AI-generated content will be a pressing issue in the coming years.
Unemployment and economic turmoil
The automation capabilities of generative AI – the displacement of the workforce in some industries – may be driving.
Jobs that involve routine and repetitive tasks, such as content creation, may be at risk.
Balancing technological progress with societal well-being will be a challenge to ensure that AI complements human work rather than replaces it.
Ethical and ethical dilemmas
As AI systems become more efficient at producing content that mimics human creativity, ethical questions arise.
For example, who owns the rights to art or literature generated by artificial intelligence?
Identifying the legal and ethical implications of creations produced by non-human entities challenges our traditional understanding of authorship and intellectual property.
That's what generative artificial intelligence thinks.

Enhancing creativity and productivity
Generative AI has the ability to amplify human creativity and productivity by automating mundane tasks, allowing individuals to focus on the most complex and strategic aspects of their work.
In areas such as content creation, design and marketing, AI can help and inspire, leading to an increase in innovation and efficiency.
A revolution in health care
The future of generative AI promises breakthroughs in healthcare, from drug discovery to personalized medicine.
AI models can analyze large data sets, identify patterns, and propose new solutions, dramatically accelerating the pace of medical research and improving patient outcomes.
Custom User Experiences
As generative AI continues to evolve, it can provide highly customized and tailored experiences for users.
From adaptive learning platforms to content recommendations, AI systems can understand individual preferences and behaviors, providing a smoother and more engaging user experience.
Collaboration between Human and Artificial Intelligence
Instead of replacing human roles, generative AI is likely to foster collaboration between humans and machines.
AI tools can act as creative partners, helping professionals in various fields achieve results that would not be possible by traditional methods alone.
This collaborative approach can lead to unprecedented levels of innovation.
Innovations in art and entertainment
Generative AI has already made waves in the art world, creating unique pieces that challenge traditional notions of creativity.
In the entertainment industry, AI-driven content creation can open up new horizons for storytelling, virtual worlds, and interactive experiences, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in these areas.
CONCLUSION
The future of generative AI is a double-edged sword, offering exciting possibilities and potential pitfalls.
As we navigate this technological landscape, it is important to recognize and address the ethical concerns and negative outcomes associated with generative AI.
Balancing innovation and responsible development is essential to harnessing the full potential of AI while mitigating its risks.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, implementing ethical guidelines, and investing in research to address biases and security threats, we can pave the way for a future where generative AI enhances human creativity, productivity, and well-being.
The recent leadership shift that Sam Altman participated in serves as a reminder of the importance of ethical considerations in the development of AI, urging the industry to learn from the mistakes of the past and shaping a collective future where AI benefits humanity responsibly.

Nostradamus strongly warns against artificial intelligence AI
Nostradamus starkly warned the modern age that the dominator of artificial intelligence (AI) technology will bring cold to the world and eliminate humanity.
Atos Salome, a Brazilian fortune-teller, predicts that artificial intelligence will end up making people around the world unable to settle down, leading to frequent ups and downs on humanity.
Nostradamus also predicted that whoever was in control would have the power to cause chaos, financial and emotional instability, and unwanted changes in daily life.
Salome also adds that the world will witness a huge number of scientific and technological discoveries that will answer the many mysteries surrounding the human mind, apparently referring to the rise of OpenAI ’ s ChatGPT and Google ’ s upcoming AI Bard chatbot.
He said the issue is so important that the elite have funded AI projects such as ChatGPT, given the extent to which AI is increasingly integrated into our daily lives.
ChatGPT has already become an integral part of the community, with a Brazilian judge admitting earlier this month using a chatbot to inform his ruling on whether an autistic child ’ s insurance should cover all costs of his medical treatment.
The modern-day Nostradamus has a record of predictions of mega-global events, including that Argentina would defeat France at last year ’ s World Cup, the death of the Queen and even the Covid-19 pandemic.

After the international warnings.
Can humans meet the challenges of artificial intelligence?
Recently, the dangers of artificial intelligence have increased because of the threat it represents to the future of humans and their jobs, which prompted the United Nations and the European Union to launch warnings about the repercussions of artificial intelligence on the human factor.
In line with this, Dr. Ayman Mahsab, a member of the House of Representatives, submitted a request for a briefing addressed to the Minister of Planning and the Minister of Manpower, on the adoption of a plan to reduce the risks of replacing jobs with artificial intelligence in the coming years, especially as artificial intelligence programs have become able to create and implement projects in many disciplines.
The member of the House of Representatives, that artificial intelligence has become a threat to various jobs and professions because of the dangerous development witnessed by this field recently.
A report published by Goldman Sachs Group in March 2023 warned that artificial intelligence capable of generating and writing content could do a quarter of the work that humans currently do.
Falsifying facts and creating new content
For his part, Walid Hajjaj, an expert in information security, said that the field of artificial intelligence has recently witnessed serious developments and updates, especially after we witnessed the spread of videos of old singers singing modern songs with their voices, which raises great controversy in various circles and fields.
The information security expert explained that artificial intelligence is able to falsify facts and make new content and videos such as what is ordered by humans, and sometimes artificial intelligence may come out of human control.
“Hajjaj ” warned of the repercussions of the development of artificial intelligence and the threat it carries on humans and their jobs, especially in the absence of real laws obliging everyone while using it.
International Movements Warn Against Artificial Intelligence
• The United Nations Human Rights Council passed a resolution calling on the international community to take preventive and oversight measures in relation to artificial intelligence.
• The resolution was jointly introduced by South Korea, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Morocco and Singapore.
• The European Union has warned against artificial intelligence systems that some authoritarian regimes may use to collectively censor citizens.
• The EU stressed that there is concern about the use of technology to restrict human rights "including encroachment on" privacy ".
• The United Nations has stressed the risks of artificial intelligence to global security as cyberattacks powered by artificial intelligence disrupt the United Nations infrastructure and operations to enhance security and stability, according to the United Nations website.
The UN chief expressed concern about the interplay between artificial intelligence, nuclear weapons and technology.
• Establish a UN body to manage AI technology modeled after the International Atomic Energy Agency.

What is the AI problem called confabulation, according to Hinton?

It's when AI makes up plausible answers to questions it can't answer.

Why did Hinton leave Google when he helped develop AI but later grew concerned about its dangers?

Ilya left OpenAI insider exposure: Altman cut his team's computing power to prioritize products to make money, leaving Tucao will lose equity
Quantum Bit 2024 / 5 / 18 17: 57: 48
Jan Leike, head of OpenAI Super Alignment, who just followed Ilya out of the company, revealed the real reason for leaving, and more.
One is that the computing power is not enough, and the 20% promised to the super-aligned team is lacking in weight, causing the team to go against the current, but it is also becoming more and more difficult.
Second, security is not valued, and the priority of AGI's security governance is better than the launch of "shining products".
Then, more gossip was dug up by others.
For example, OpenAI departing members must sign an agreement to ensure that they do not say bad things about OpenAI after leaving the company, and if they do not sign, they will automatically give up the company's shares.
But there are still hard bones who refuse to sign up and say that the core leadership has been divided on security priorities for a long time.
So far last year, the conflict between the two factions has reached a critical point, and this seems to be quite dignified.
Therefore, although Altman has sent a co-founder to take over the Super Alignment team, it is still not favored by the outside world.
Twitter users who rushed to the forefront thanked Jan for having the courage to say this amazing melon, and lamented:
It seems that OpenAI really doesn ’ t pay much attention to this security!
However, in retrospect, Altman, now in charge of OpenAI, can still sit for the time being.
He came out to thank Jan for his contributions to OpenAI super alignment and security, saying that Jan was sad and reluctant to leave.
Of course, the point is actually this sentence:
Wait. In two days, I'll be tweeting something longer than this.
The promised 20% hashrate actually has the composition of drawing big cakes
From last year's OpenAI Gong Dou to now, the soul figure and former chief scientist Ilya has barely appeared in public and spoken out.
Before he publicly announced his departure, opinions had been divided.
A lot of people think Ilya saw something terrible, like an AI system that could destroy humanity.
The first thing I wake up every day is to think about what Ilya sees.
This time Jan is open, the core reason is that the technical school and the market party security priorities have different views.
The differences are very serious, and the consequences are now...
Everybody saw it too.
According to Vox, a source familiar with OpenAI said that more security-focused employees have lost confidence in Altman, and that “it ’ s been a process of trust breaking down bit by bit. ”
But as you can see, not many departing employees are willing to talk about it publicly on public platforms and occasions.
Part of the reason is that OpenAI has a long tradition of having employees sign exit agreements with non-disparaging agreements.
Refusing to sign is tantamount to giving up the OpenAI option, which means that employees who come out and talk can lose a huge amount of money.
However, the dominoes fell one by one —
Ilya ’ s resignation adds to the recent wave of departures from OpenAI.
Following the announcement of his departure, at least five security team members have left in addition to Jan, the head of the Super Alignment team.
There is also a hard bone, Daniel Kokotajlo (hereinafter referred to as DK Brother), who has not signed a non-derogatory agreement.
Last year, DK wrote that he thought there was a 70% chance of an existential disaster for AI.
DK joined OpenAI in 2022, working in the governance team, mainly on guiding OpenAI to safely deploy AI.
But he also recently resigned and gave an interview:
OpenAI is training more powerful AI systems with the goal of eventually surpassing human intelligence across the board.
It may be the best thing that has ever happened to humanity, but it could also be the worst thing if we're not careful.
DK Brother elaborated that in that year, he joined OpenAI, full of revenge and hope for security governance, hoping that the closer OpenAI is to AGI, the more responsible it can be.
But many on the team slowly realized that OpenAI wouldn ’ t be like this anymore.
"There has been a gradual loss of confidence in the OpenAO leadership and their ability to handle AGI responsibly", which is why DK has resigned.
Disappointment over future AGI security work is part of Ilya ’ s growing wave of departures.
Part of the reason is that the super-aligned team may not be as resourceful as the outside world thinks.
Even if the hyper-aligned team is working at full capacity, the team will only get 20% of the computing power promised by OpenAI.
And some of the team's requests are often denied.
Of course, this is because computing resources are so important to AI companies that each point needs to be properly allocated, and because the work of the super-aligned team is to “solve different types of security issues that actually arise if the company succeeds in building AGIs. ”
In other words, the Super Alignment team corresponds to the future security issues that OpenAI needs to face — the focus is on the future, whether it will occur or not.
As of press time, Altman has not sent out his "longer tweet (than Jan's)."
But he briefly mentioned that Jan was right about security concerns, saying, "We still have a lot to do; we're committed to doing that."
At this point, we can start a small bench and so on, and then we will eat melon together for the first time.
In summary, the Super Alignment team has gone a lot of people, especially the departure of Ilya and Jan, which makes the team in the storm face a situation of lack of leadership.
Co-founder John Schulma took over, but no longer had a dedicated team.
The new Super Alignment team will be more loosely linked groups with members spread across the company ’ s various departments, which an OpenAI spokesperson described as “more deeply integrated. ”
This is also questioned, as John ’ s original full-time job was to ensure the security of the current OpenAI product.
After suddenly taking on more responsibilities, can John get busy and lead the two teams that focus on the present and the future security issues?
The Ilya-Altman Controversy
If the time line is lengthened, in fact, today's collapse is the sequel to the OpenAI "palace fight" Ilya-Altman dispute.
Back in November, Ilya was still there, working with the OpenAI board to try to fire Altman.
The reason given at the time was that he was not sincere enough in his communication.
In other words, we don ’ t trust him.
But the end result was obvious, Altman with his "allies" threatened to join Microsoft, resulting in the board succumbing and the recall failed.
Ilya leaves the board.
Altman, on his side, chose members who were more favorable to him to join the board.
After this, Ilya disappeared from the social platform until the official announced his departure a few days ago.
And it is said that it has not been in the OpenAI office for about six months.
He also left an intriguing tweet at the time, but it was quickly deleted.
In the past month, I have learned many lessons.
One of the lessons is that the phrase “beatings will continue until morale improves ” applies more often than it should.
But according to insiders, Ilya has long co-led the Super Alignment team.
On Altman ’ s side, employees ’ biggest accusations against him are inconsistencies, such as his claim that he wants to prioritize safety, but his behavior is contradictory.
Other than the originally promised computing resources were not given.
There are also funds such as looking for Saudi Arabia to raise money to build the core.
Employees who are concerned about safety are confused.
If he really cares about building and deploying AI in the safest way possible, wouldn ’ t it be so crazy to accumulate chips to speed up the technology?
Earlier, OpenAI ordered chips from a startup that Altman had invested in.
The amount is as high as 51 million US dollars (about 360 million yuan).
At that time, in the report of the former employees of OpenAI in the days of Gong Dou, the description of Altman seems to have been confirmed once again.
Because of this "inconsistent" operation from beginning to end, employees gradually lost confidence in OpenAI and Altman.
Ilya is like that, Jan Laike is like that, and so is the Super Alignment team.
Intimate netizens have sorted out the important nodes of relevant things that have happened in the past few years - first, a thoughtful reminder, and the P (doom) mentioned below refers to the possibility of “AI triggering the doomsday scenario. ”
• In 2021, the GPT-3 team leader left OpenAI for “security ” issues and founded Anthropic; one of them thought P (doom) was 10-25%;
In 2021, the head of security research at RLHF left, with P (doom) at 50%.
In 2023, the OpenAI board fired Altman.
In 2024, OpenAI fired two security researchers.
In 2024, an OpenAI researcher with a special focus on security left, and he believes that P (doom) is already at 70%.
In 2024, Ilya and Jan Laike left.
Tech or Market?
Since the development of the big model to date, "how to achieve AGI?" can actually be reduced to two routes.
The technical school hopes that the technology is mature and controllable to be reapplied; the market school believes that the application of the "progressive" approach to the end while opening up.
This is also the fundamental difference in the Ilya-Altman dispute over OpenAI ’ s mission:
Is it focused on AGI and super alignment, or is it focused on extending ChatGPT services?
The larger the ChatGPT service, the greater the amount of computation required; this will take up AGI ’ s security research time.
If OpenAI is a non-profit organization dedicated to research, they should spend more time on super alignment.
From the perspective of some OpenAI initiatives, the result is obviously not, they just want to get the top of the competition in the big model, and provide more services for enterprises and consumers.
In Ilya ’ s view, this is a very dangerous thing.
Even if we don't know what will happen with the expansion, Ilya believes that the best way to do this is to put safety first.
Open and transparent so that we humans can ensure that AGI is safely constructed, not in some secretive way.
But under Altman ’ s leadership, OpenAI seems to be pursuing neither open source nor super alignment.
Instead, it just wants to rush in the direction of AGI while trying to build a moat.
So did AI scientist Ilya make the right choice, or did Silicon Valley businessman Altman come to the end?
It is not yet known.
But at least OpenAI now faces a critical choice.
Industry insiders summed up two key signals, one is that ChatGPT is OpenAI ’ s main revenue, and without better model support, GPT-4 will not be available to everyone for free;
The other is that if the departing team members (Jan, Ilya, etc.) don ’ t worry about more powerful features soon, they won ’ t care about alignment issues …
If the AI stays at this level, it basically doesn ’ t matter.
But the fundamental contradiction of OpenAI has not been resolved, on the one hand, the concerns of fire-stealing AI scientists about the responsible development of AGI, and on the other, the urgency of the Silicon Valley market to commercialize the technology to promote sustainability.
The two sides are irreconcilable, science is completely out of OpenAI, and the outside world still does not know, GPT exactly where?
People who desperately want to know the answer to this question are a little tired.
A sense of powerlessness came to mind, as Ilya ’ s teacher, Hinton, one of the Turing Three, said:
I'm old, I'm worried, but there's nothing I can do about it.
