DeepMind has detailed all the ways AGI could wreck the world

DeepMind has released a technical paper detailing how to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) safely, projecting its possible emergence by 2030. They highlight four AGI risk categories: misuse, misalignment, mistakes, and structural risks. Suggestions include enhanced testing, safety protocols, amplified oversight, and limiting AGI authority to mitigate these risks. While predicting AGI is speculative, DeepMind emphasizes this as a starting point for critical conversations to ensure AGI will not act against human interests.

Friends from the old neighborhood turn rivals in Big Tech's AI race

Mustafa Suleyman and Demis Hassabis are two powerful executives in the tech industry's race to build artificial intelligence. They co-founded DeepMind in 2010 but went their separate ways after a clash. Hassabis now leads Google DeepMind, while Suleyman recently became CEO of Microsoft AI. The rivalry between the two companies has intensified as they both aim to control the next dominant computing platform. Despite their differences, Suleyman and Hassabis maintain a friendly relationship, although Hassabis downplays any notion of rivalry. Their journey from childhood friends to industry leaders is a unique story in the tech world.

Decoding the hype over building an AI brain smarter than humans

Artificial super intelligence (ASI) is the ultimate stage of AI technology, surpassing artificial general intelligence (AGI). ASI would possess cognitive abilities that surpass human intelligence in all domains of interest. ASI is currently a theoretical concept, as the technology has not yet advanced to that level. While OpenAI aims to develop AGI, Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son envisions the creation of ASI, which he believes could be achieved within 10 years. The potential impact of ASI is considered significant, with experts highlighting both its potential benefits and risks to humanity.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says AI could pass human tests in five years

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts that artificial general intelligence (AGI) could arrive within the next five years, depending on how AGI is defined. Huang believes that if passing human tests is the criterion for AGI, then it could be achieved in five years. However, if AGI is defined differently, it may take longer due to disagreements among scientists on how to describe human minds. Huang also mentioned the need for more chip factories to support the expansion of the AI industry, but noted that advancements in algorithms and processing efficiency will also reduce the number of chips required.

OpenAI, Microsoft rift hinges on how smart AI can get

A rift exists between OpenAI and Microsoft over the potential of AI reaching humanlike intelligence, known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). This milestone could impact their partnership, allowing OpenAI to restrict Microsoft's access to future technology if AGI is achieved. The significance of AGI remains a contentious topic in the tech industry, and ongoing negotiations reflect its potential influence on one of Silicon Valley's prominent collaborations.

Nvidia's Jensen Huang says AI hallucinations are solvable, artificial general intelligence is 5 years away

The concept of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has been a hot topic of discussion recently. AGI, also known as "strong AI" or "full AI," refers to machines that can perform a wide range of cognitive tasks at or above human capability. However, the unpredictable nature of AGI's decision-making processes and objectives raises concerns about its potential impact on humanity. At Nvidia's GTC conference, CEO Jensen Huang addressed the question of when AGI will become a reality, suggesting that it depends on how one defines AGI. He believes that if AGI is defined as software passing specific tests, we could see it within five years. Huang also discussed the issue of AI hallucinations, emphasizing the importance of thorough research and fact-checking to avoid inaccuracies.

OpenAI coup less stressful than superintelligent AI, Sam Altman says

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, described his brief and swiftly reversed firing as less stressful than the global pursuit of creating artificial general intelligence (AGI) on par with humans. He emphasized the increasing stakes and tensions as the world approaches AGI, noting that regulatory discussions are essential. Altman's dismissal served as a lesson to address urgent problems promptly and highlighted the need for experienced leadership on the board. The Davos summit focused on AI's impact, investments, and potential risks to democracy.

DeepMind Wants to Use AI to Solve the Climate Crisis

DeepMind, the Google-owned AI lab, is using its AI expertise to address climate change in three ways: understanding climate change through better models for prediction and monitoring, optimizing current systems and infrastructure, and accelerating breakthrough science. AI's role in addressing climate change includes helping with mitigation, adaptation, addressing loss and damage, biodiversity, ecology, and more. However, access to data and collaboration with domain experts are crucial roadblocks that need to be overcome. DeepMind believes that AI, when wielded effectively, can be a transformative tool in solving climate change problems at scale.

Microsoft and OpenAI have a financial definition of AGI: Report | TechCrunch

Microsoft and OpenAI have a financial definition of AGI: Report | TechCrunch

Microsoft and OpenAI have a unique definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI) based on profits, according to a report. OpenAI must generate at least $100 billion in profits before they achieve AGI. However, OpenAI is projected to lose billions of dollars this year and may not turn a profit until 2029. This definition is different from the technical and philosophical understanding of AGI. The agreement between the two companies means Microsoft could have access to OpenAI's technology for over a decade. Some speculate that OpenAI may declare AGI sooner to exclude Microsoft, but the profit-focused definition may pose challenges.

OpenAI seeks to unlock investment by ditching 'AGI' clause with Microsoft

OpenAI is considering removing a provision that currently prevents Microsoft from accessing its most advanced models once OpenAI achieves artificial general intelligence (AGI), according to sources. The provision was put in place to exclude Microsoft from AGI technology, but OpenAI is now looking to change this as it seeks additional investment. If OpenAI removes the provision, Microsoft will be able to invest in and access all of OpenAI's technology after AGI is achieved. Both companies have yet to comment on the matter.
