An open letter signed by hundreds of prominent artificial intelligence experts, tech entrepreneurs, and scientists calls for a pause on the development and testing of AI technologies more powerful than OpenAI's language model GPT-4 so that the risks it may pose can be properly studied. It warns that language models like GPT-4 can already compete with humans at a growing range of tasks and could be used to automate jobs and spread misinformation. The letter also raises the distant prospect of AI systems that could replace humans and remake civilization. "We call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 (including the currently-being-trained GPT-5)," states the letter, whose signatories include Yoshua Bengio, a professor at the University of Montreal considered a pioneer of modern AI, historian Yuval Noah Harari, Skype cofounder Jaan Tallinn, and Twitter CEO Elon Musk. The letter, which was written by the Future of Life Institute, an organization focused on technological risks to humanity, adds that the pause should be "public and verifiable," and should involve all those working on advanced AI models like GPT-4.

The first time I entered one of these groups, I felt like I had the voyeuristic ability to see into strangers' minds. I was immediately blown away by how imaginative human beings are. But then I was confronted with more disturbing material, namely, President Obama turned into a monkey and many pregnant celebrities. Dozens of prompters are fixated on this old racist trope and this tabloidy cultural fetish. Yes, I realize that pregnant bodies are beautiful. And searching through the Midjourney database some pregnancies --like the Status of Liberty's--seem motivated by curiosity.

Elon Musk and a group of artificial intelligence experts and industry executives are calling for a six-month pause in training systems more powerful than OpenAI's newly launched model GPT-4, they said in an open letter, citing potential risks to society and humanity. The letter, issued by the non-profit Future of Life Institute and signed by more than 1,000 people including Musk, Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque, researchers at Alphabet-owned DeepMind, as well as AI heavyweights Yoshua Bengio and Stuart Russell, called for a pause on advanced AI development until shared safety protocols for such designs were developed, implemented and audited by independent experts. "Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable," the letter said. The letter also detailed potential risks to society and civilization by human-competitive AI systems in the form of economic and political disruptions, and called on developers to work with policymakers on governance and regulatory authorities. The letter comes as EU police force Europol on Monday joined a chorus of ethical and legal concerns over advanced AI like ChatGPT, warning about the potential misuse of the system in phishing attempts, disinformation and cybercrime.

ChatGPT is the spiciest thing in artificial intelligence (AI) right now. Powered by OpenAI's Chat GPT-3 large language model (LLM), it's a computer program that can understand and converse back to users in a way that feels extremely close to talking with a human. The sophisticated generative AI chatbot attracted one million users in just four days, and has left other industry giants scrambling to announce a version of their own. The power of ChatGPT has amplified speculation on what is possible with the power of AI – with people already finding cool ways to use the system, including forming weight loss plans, writing code, creating whole stand-up routines, and templating emails. Of course, speculation comes with two sides, and there has been a lot of talk about how it could impact the job roles of humans.

Exiled Tibetan leaders and officials in the United States have condemned China's "cruel" policies in Tibet, accusing Beijing of separating families in the Himalayan region, banning their language, and engaging in non-consensual DNA collection. Addressing the US Congress for the first time, Penpa Tsering, the head of the India-based organisation known as Tibet's government in exile, said on Tuesday that Tibet was dying a "slow death" under Chinese rule. "We often get asked why we don't hear about Tibet any more," said Tsering, known as the Sikyong of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA). He blamed that silence on China's "Orwellian gridlock system, use of all means of artificial intelligence to surveil people, control the flow of information and lockdown of Tibet to the outside world". "Tibetan language, religion and culture are the bedrock of Tibetan identity … These are facing the unprecedented threat of eradication," he told the bipartisan Congressional-Executive Commission on China hearing via video link.

The U.K. government on Wednesday published recommendations for the artificial intelligence industry, outlining an all-encompassing approach for regulating the technology at a time when it has reached frenzied levels of hype. In the white paper, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) outlined five principles it wanted companies to follow. They are: safety, security and robustness; transparency and explainability; fairness; accountability and governance; and contestability and redress. Rather than establishing new regulations, the government is calling on regulators to apply existing regulations and inform companies about their obligations under the white paper. It has tasked the Health and Safety Executive, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, and the Competition and Markets Authority with coming up with "tailored, context-specific approaches that suit the way AI is actually being used in their sectors."

LONDON, March 29 (Reuters) - Britain plans to split responsibility for governing artificial intelligence (AI) between its regulators for human rights, health and safety, and competition, rather than creating a new body dedicated to the technology. AI, which is rapidly evolving with advances such as the ChatGPT app, could improve productivity and help unlock growth, but there are concerns about the risks it could pose to people's privacy, human rights or safety, the government said. It said it wanted to avoid heavy handed legislation that could stifle innovation and would instead take an adaptable approach to regulation based on broad principles such as safety, transparency, fairness and accountability. The European Union is tackling the issue head on by attempting to devise landmark AI laws and create a new AI office. The speed at which the technology is advancing, however, is complicating its efforts, sources have said.

On Monday, after a weekend free of fresh militia attacks and full of bad weather in eastern Syria that would have made targeting the insurgents more difficult, Biden administration officials said the military stood ready to respond to any new threats to U.S. personnel. But they also seemed eager to move on, avoid escalating the back-and-forth strikes into a wider war with Iran and its proxies, and remain focused on the broader mission of helping root out the pockets of Islamic State fighters still carrying out guerrilla attacks in the region. "We're going to do what we need to do swiftly and boldly to protect our people and our facilities in Syria," John F. Kirby, a National Security Council spokesman, told reporters on Monday. "We're not going to be deterred from continuing to go after this network in Syria." America still has more than 900 troops, and hundreds more contractors, in Syria, working with Kurdish fighters to make sure there is no resurgence of the Islamic State, which was ostensibly defeated in 2019 after five years of wreaking havoc across Iraq and Syria. In the past year alone, Iranian-backed militias have launched dozens of attacks at or near bases where U.S. troops were present.
