The Public Policy Implications of Artificial Intelligence – Initialized Capital

I think there are three things that are going to affect the world in incredibly significant ways over the next decade and they are 1) Climate change 2) CRISPR and 3) artificial intelligence. I wanted to work in one of those and be helpful. Because of my background, AI made the most sense. Along with conducting fundamental research, OpenAI can also help increase the level of knowledge that's available on how to use, regulate and evaluate this technology. NIPS is probably the single largest AI conference in the field and it's happening in Barcelona right now. There's a joke among researchers that NIPS is where people get together to discuss papers that came out four months ago. That's because the paper deadline was then, and the pace of modern AI research is so fast that much of the industry has subsequently moved onto new techniques and new papers.
