Al Jazeera

The UK's King Charles warns AI leaders of'existential dangers' Share The UK's King Charles warns AI leaders of'existential dangers' on social media The United Kingdom's King Charles has warned Artificial Intelligence (AI) industry leaders of the "existential dangers" posed by the technology if it falls into the wrong hands. The monarch's comments on Thursday add to a global debate over whether, and how to regulate the industry. "There seems urgency in adequately considering the existential dangers of such technologies falling into the wrong hands, and being used in potentially catastrophic ways," Charles told guests at the opening of the conference. "Those in our world who value our humanity and its vital moral component are anxiously seeking your reassurance that we will not lose control of our destiny," he told the industry leaders. "Those who have created these technologies are now increasingly warning that AI risks developing darker capacities, perhaps even to take life," or be used in "potentially catastrophic ways", the king also said.

The Guardian

President Donald Trump has played down concerns expressed by industry leaders about the misuse of artificial intelligence. President Donald Trump has played down concerns expressed by industry leaders about the misuse of artificial intelligence. President has dismissed anxieties over AI's dangerous potential even as Democrats and some Republicans acknowledge risks Donald Trump is facing a rare backlash from the US Congress as Democrats and some Republicans push for guardrails on the world's most powerful AI companies. Concerns over the dangerous potential of AI reached fever pitch this week after tech leaders sounded the alarm over the rapid advancement of the technology and its potential threat to humanity. Trump dismissed the anxieties on Monday, describing them as a "HOAX" and "conspiracy" and insisting on social media: "The only control or'guardrails' that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!"


Biden looks to limit AI product exports, tech leaders say they'll lose global market share

FOX News

Leaders in the tech industry are urging the Biden administration not to add a new regulation that will limit artificial intelligence exports, citing concerns it is overbroad and could diminish the United States' global dominance in AI. The new rule, which industry leaders say could come as early as the end of this week, effectively seeks to shore up the U.S. economy and national security efforts by adding new restrictions on how many U.S.-made artifical intelligence products can be deployed across the globe. "A rule of this nature would cede the global market to U.S. competitors who will be eager to fill the untapped demand created by placing arbitrary constraints on U.S. companies' ability to sell basic computing systems overseas," stated a Monday letter from Jason Oxman, the president and CEO of the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI), sent to Commerce Department Secretary Gina Raimondo. "Should the U.S. lose its advantage in the global AI ecosystem, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to regain in the future." FBI'S NEW WARNING ABOUT AI-DRIVEN SCAMS THAT ARE AFTER YOUR CASH The process to place new export controls on artificial intelligence goes back to October 2022, when the Biden administration's Commerce Department first released an updated export framework aimed at slowing the progress of Chinese military programs. Details of the new incoming export controls surfaced after the Biden administration called on American tech company NVIDIA to stop selling certain computer chips to China the following month.


AI Should Complement Humans at Work, Not Replace Them, TIME Panelists Say

TIME - Tech

Artificial intelligence is widely expected to transform our lives. Leaders from across the sector gathered for a TIME dinner conversation on Nov. 30, where they emphasized the need to center humans in decisions around incorporating the technology into workflows and advocated for governments and industry leaders to take a responsible approach to managing the risks the technology poses. As part of the TIME100 Talks series in San Francisco, senior correspondent Alice Park spoke with panelists Cynthia Breazeal, a pioneer in social robotics and the Dean for Digital Learning at MIT, James Landay, a computer science professor and vice director of the Institute for Human-Centered AI at Stanford University, and Raquel Urtasun, CEO and founder of self-driving tech startup Waabi, which recently put a fleet of trucks into service on Uber Freight's trucking network. The panelists discussed the ethical considerations of AI and the ways in which leaders can ensure its benefits reach every corner of the world. During the discussion, the three panelists highlighted the transformative journey of AI and delved into its profound implications, emphasizing the need for responsible AI deployment.


Self-proclaimed AI savior Elon Musk will launch his own artificial intelligence TOMORROW - as he tries to avoid tech destroying humanity

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Elon Musk is set to roll out the first model of his AI-powered system, xAI, on Saturday, one day after he proclaimed the tech is the biggest risk to humanity. The billionaire said Friday that he is opening up early access to a select group, but details of who has not been shared. 'In some important respects, it (xAI's new model) is the best that currently exists,' the Tesla CEO said on Friday. Musk, who has been critical of Big Tech's AI efforts and censorship, said earlier this year that he would launch a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe to rival Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI. Elon Musk is set to roll out the first model of his AI-powered system, xAI, on Saturday, which he claims could help avoid humanity's destruction at the hands of the tech Musk revealed his startup on July 12, 2023 by launching a dedicated X account for the AI company and spares website.


The Morning After: Industry leaders say AI presents 'risk of extinction' on par with nuclear war

Engadget

With the rise of AI language models and tools like ChatGPT and Bard, we've heard warnings from people involved, like Elon Musk, about the risks posed by AI. Now, a group of high-profile industry leaders has issued a one-sentence statement: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." It was posted to the Center for AI Safety, an organization with the mission "to reduce societal-scale risks from artificial intelligence," according to its website. Signatories include OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman and Google DeepMind head Demis Hassabis. Turing Award-winning researchers Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, the godfathers of modern AI, also put their names to it.

Congress warns AI could reshape 'human history' as ChatGPT inventor Sam Altman testifies

Daily Mail - Science & tech

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is speaking in front of Congress about the dangers of AI after his company's ChatGPT exploded in popularity in the past few months. Lawmakers are grilling the CEO, stressing that ChatGPT and other models could shape'human history' like the printing press or the atomic bomb. The printing press, according to officials, brought liberty to the American people, while the atomic bomb left behind haunting consequences. Altman told senators that generative AI could be a'printing press moment,' but he is not blind to its fault, noting policymakers and industry leaders need to work together to'make it so.' Tuesday's hearing is the first of a series intended to write rules for AI, which lawmakers said should have been done with the birth of social media.


Kagan: Can Qualcomm succeed in AI, Chatbot, ChatGPT, Bard space? - RCR Wireless News
