Academic research for AI robots to focus on causal reasoning and chain-of-thought (Digitimes)
|
|
|
The field of AI robots has now entered a phase of rapid development and iteration, as evidenced by optimistic predictions from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. As noted by the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), key technologies for building advanced AI robots in the future include semantic reasoning, task decomposition, causal inference, chain-of-thought, multi-step reasoning, and cross-domain generalization capabilities....

The office block where AI ′doomers′ gather to predict the apocalypse (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Safety researchers feel excessive financial rewards and an irresponsible work culture have led some to ignore a catastrophic risk to human lifeOn the other side of San Francisco bay from Silicon Valley, where the world's biggest technology companies tear towards superhuman artificial intelligence, looms a tower from which fearful warnings emerge.At 2150 Shattuck Avenue, in the heart of Berkeley, is the home of a group of modern-day Cassandras who rummage under the hood of cutting-edge AI models and predict what calamities may be unleashed on humanity – from AI dictatorships to robot coups. Here you can hear an AI expert express sympathy with an unnerving idea: San Francisco may be the new Wuhan, the Chinese city where Covid originated and wreaked havoc on the world.

We must take control of AI now, before it′s too late | Letters (The Guardian)
|
|
|
Anja Cradden proposes ways of managing tech companies before we reach crisis point. Plus letters from Mike Scott and Gerry Rees “When the AI bubble bursts, humans will finally have their chance to take back control”, says the headline on Rafael Behr's article (23 December). I think it's more likely that when the AI bubble bursts, the creators of the crisis, along with other wealthy economic actors, will be in the rooms with the politicians telling them how to “rescue” us all by transferring wealth in some way from average citizens to the already extremely wealthy. Just like they did during the financial crisis of 2008.We need to be ready with alternative plans. For example, world governments could coordinate to buy, for suitably low prices, majority shares in any crashing tech company that actually produces something useful, ensuring that those shares come with full voting rights.

Analysis: America′s new ′Manhattan Project′ puts AI at the center of power (Digitimes)
|
|
|
When the Manhattan Project mobilized the full weight of the American state in 1945 to unlock atomic energy, it revealed something humanity had not fully grasped before: once a scientific breakthrough is absorbed into national strategy, its impact can far exceed any single industry or technology. Eighty years later, the US is attempting to recreate that logic—this time around artificial intelligence (AI)....
