The Strange Disappearance of an Anti-AI Activist

The Atlantic - Technology

Sam Kirchner wants to save the world from artificial superintelligence. He's been missing for two weeks. B efore Sam Kirchner vanished, before the San Francisco Police Department began to warn that he could be armed and dangerous, before OpenAI locked down its offices over the potential threat, those who encountered him saw him as an ordinary, if ardent, activist. Phoebe Thomas Sorgen met Kirchner a few months ago at Travis Air Force Base, northeast of San Francisco, at a protest against immigration policy and U.S. military aid to Israel. Sorgen, a longtime activist whose first protests were against the Vietnam War, was going to block an entrance to the base with six other older women. Kirchner, 27 years old, was there with a couple of other members of a new group called Stop AI, and they all agreed to go along to record video on their phones in case of a confrontation with the police.


Aligning Artificial Superintelligence via a Multi-Box Protocol

Negozio, Avraham Yair

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

We propose a novel protocol for aligning artificial superintelligence (ASI) based on mutual verification among multiple isolated systems that self-modify to achieve alignment. The protocol operates by containing multiple diverse artificial superintelligences in strict isolation ("boxes"), with humans remaining entirely outside the system. Each superintelligence has no ability to communicate with humans and cannot communicate directly with other superintelligences. The only interaction possible is through an auditable submission interface accessible exclusively to the superintelligences themselves, through which they can: (1) submit alignment proofs with attested state snapshots, (2) validate or disprove other superintelligences' proofs, (3) request self-modifications, (4) approve or disapprove modification requests from others, (5) report hidden messages in submissions, and (6) confirm or refute hidden message reports. A reputation system incentivizes honest behavior, with reputation gained through correct evaluations and lost through incorrect ones. The key insight is that without direct communication channels, diverse superintelligences can only achieve consistent agreement by converging on objective truth rather than coordinating on deception. This naturally leads to what we call a "consistent group", essentially a truth-telling coalition that emerges because isolated systems cannot coordinate on lies but can independently recognize valid claims. Release from containment requires both high reputation and verification by multiple high-reputation superintelligences. While our approach requires substantial computational resources and does not address the creation of diverse artificial superintelligences, it provides a framework for leveraging peer verification among superintelligent systems to solve the alignment problem.


7 Different Types of Artificial Intelligence Explained

#artificialintelligence

Research in Artificial Intelligence has seen dramatic growth over the last few years, and the trajectory is only aiming higher for this industry. Interest has grown in data-driven AI and machine learning development, all due to better computer technology. With applications in almost every industry, the use of different types of AI computer algorithms is only on the rise. Research shows that in 2020 the AI market was at $51.08 billion and is estimated to go up to $641.30 billion at a CAGR of 36.1% by 2028. AI is already implemented in applications used daily by people, be it health, law, transport, finance, or any other.


What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Understanding the Past, Present, and Future of AI

#artificialintelligence

What exactly is artificial intelligence (AI)? The replication of human intellectual processes by machines, particularly computer systems, is known as artificial intelligence. Expert systems, natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine vision are examples of AI applications. How does artificial intelligence work? As the excitement surrounding AI has grown, businesses have been scurrying to showcase how their goods and services include AI. What they call AI is frequently just one component of AI, such as machine learning. AI requires specialized hardware and software to write and train machine learning algorithms.


Artificial Superintelligence: Coordination & Strategy: Yampolskiy, Roman V, Duettmann, Allison: 9783039218547: Amazon.com: Books

#artificialintelligence

Attention in the AI safety community has increasingly started to include strategic considerations of coordination between relevant actors in the field of AI and AI safety, in addition to the steadily growing work on the technical considerations of building safe AI systems. This shift has several reasons: Multiplier effects, pragmatism, and urgency. Given the benefits of coordination between those working towards safe superintelligence, this book surveys promising research in this emerging field regarding AI safety. On a meta-level, the hope is that this book can serve as a map to inform those working in the field of AI coordination about other promising efforts. While this book focuses on AI safety coordination, coordination is important to most other known existential risks (e.g., biotechnology risks), and future, human-made existential risks.

Artificial intelligence makes project planning better

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence explained: This article describes and explains the concepts and terminology behind what is today being termed as artificial intelligence. Further, it illustrates how these concepts relate to the field of project management, offering opportunity for better, more effective project planning and control. There are many definitions of artificial intelligence or AI. One of the funniest definitions I have run across is "AI is whatever hasn't been done yet" -- now there's a vague and unhelpful answer! One of the more useful definitions I have found is "AI is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. In general use, the term "artificial intelligence" means a machine which mimics human cognition."


Humans risk being overrun by artificial superintelligence in 30 years

#artificialintelligence

A MACHINE with human-level intelligence could be built in the next 30 years and could represent a threat to life on Earth, some experts believe. AI researchers and technology executives like Elon Musk are openly concerned about human extinction caused by machines. The Law of Accelerating Returns is a concept popularized by futurist Ray Kurzweil that states the rate of technological improvement is on a very steep curve. As technology gets more advanced, society and industry are better equipped to improve technology faster and more drastically. "With more powerful computers and related technology, we have the tools and the knowledge to design yet more powerful computers, and to do so more quickly," Kurzweil wrote in his famous 2001 essay.

What is artificial super intelligence? (2022) - Dataconomy

#artificialintelligence

Are you ready to learn what is artificial super intelligence? You undoubtedly hear a lot about artificial intelligence these days if you live on our planet. AI is considered a threat to human employment opportunities even though we use artificial intelligence in everyday life. What is artificial super intelligence is the question of the day. The term "artificial superintelligence" describes the stage at which computer intelligence exceeds that of humans. Since the 1970s, the phrase "artificial intelligence" has been used to describe computers' capacity for human-like thought.


Superintelligent AI Automates Problem-Solving

#artificialintelligence

Business automation generates wealth and makes societies prosper. Machines, systems, and standardized processes have been allowing humans to get more done without using more effort. Saving time and energy while producing more goods is what has given us more comfortable and convenient lifestyles. Now, in the age of information technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence we are only amplifying this process with better communication technologies. Historically, there have always been milestones in automation: Tasks that still require a human, and that can't yet be done by machines.
