„The report’s authors spoke with more than 200 experts for the report, including employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta and Anthropic—leading AI labs that are all working towards “artificial general intelligence,” a hypothetical technology that could perform most tasks at or above the level of a human.
One individual at an unspecified AI lab shared worries with the report’s authors that the lab has what the report characterized as a “lax approach to safety” stemming from a desire to not slow down the lab’s work to build more powerful systems.
Another individual expressed concern that their lab had insufficient containment measures in place to prevent an AGI from escaping their control, even though the lab believes AGI is a near-term possibility.
Still others expressed concerns about cybersecurity. “By the private judgment of many of their own technical staff, the security measures in place at many frontier AI labs are inadequate to resist a sustained IP exfiltration campaign by a sophisticated attacker,” the report states. “Given the current state of frontier lab security, it seems likely that such model exfiltration attempts are likely to succeed absent direct U.S. government support, if they have not already.”
Many of the people who shared those concerns did so while wrestling with the calculation that whistleblowing publicly would likely result in them losing their ability to influence key decisions in the future, says Harris. “The level of concern from some of the people in these labs, about the decisionmaking process and how the incentives for management translate into key decisions, is difficult to overstate,” he tells TIME.
“The people who are tracking the risk side of the equation most closely, and are in many cases the most knowledgeable, are often the ones with the greatest levels of concern.”
The fact that today’s AI systems have not yet led to catastrophic outcomes for humanity, the authors say, is not evidence that bigger systems will be safe in the future. “One of the big themes we’ve heard from individuals right at the frontier, on the stuff being developed under wraps right now, is that it’s a bit of a Russian roulette game to some extent,” says Edouard Harris, Gladstone’s chief technology officer who also co-authored the report. “Look, we pulled the trigger, and hey, we’re fine, so let’s pull the trigger again.”
Safety is always an afterthought. The current issues with global warming have been developing for decades. Summer is now fire and smoke season and everybody acts shocked when it happens, every year. 2023 was the warmest year, ocean temperatures are rising dramatically. There literally is no time for AI to become a threat, before flood, drought and food scarcity, food costs, become an issue.
Every new technology comes with pros/cons. Can AI technology’s pros outrun the cons?
Welcome to the corporate world. Everything other than growth or profit is lower priority.
Even for tightly regulated industries, you do the very least necessary to meet the regulations. And lobby your government to reduce the regulations.
‚Another individual expressed concern that their lab had insufficient containment measures in place to prevent an AGI from escaping their control, even though the lab believes AGI is a near-term possibility.‘ You mean to tell me that no one on Earth has figured out a containment policy for when an entity becomes smarter than any human that could contain it? I for one am shocked by this. How soon can we get this being that is smarter than all humans into actual existence so that I no longer have to deal with these dumb arguments?
From the beginning many had the plan to build a digital God. They knew there would be backlash so the hope now is to move as fast and as far as one can. They are also playing their second hand by slowly and methodically introducing things to the public as to not cause alarm or shock. Once an advancement is normalized then the next step can be taken. It’s literally in the conversation between Musk and Altman about a soft or hard introduction. They are acutely aware of what AGI and ASI means and ideally unlike the Animatrix humanity will have a much better relationship with it. My vote is that this will turn out a bit more like the movie Her.
You mean like with social media algorithms and everything that counts is being first to market and cornering it?
Yes, definitely.
Yes, duh, because it literally is. You think any of these rich white assholes gives a flying fuck about the rest of us? Do you really think they’re going to „slow down and think“ when they see the huge pile of money waiting for them?
The naivete displayed by these types of articles actually harms society, in my opinion. It’s treating the discovery of ruthless capitalism like a recent thing. Like „OHHHH HOW COULD NOBODY HAVE SEEN THIS COMING“ like literally we saw it coming in the fucking 60’s.
Yeah this whole society is already fucking broken. There needs to be a massive culling of the rich and powerful, and society needs to be ground to a halt for a couple years while we sort out all the evil capitalists driving us towards extinction so they can buy another yacht.
I don’t see why you would think anything else. Companies operate on the short term and aren’t looking at long term problems it will cause. AI probably even scares many members of the management teams that are running these projects but that won’t stop them.
How can safety be an afterthought when both MS and Google delayed their AI releases for years because of Microsoft being raked over the coals for its chatbot release that started saying racist things.
It’s a race at this point, nobody is willing to slow down and lose
Elon Musk is worried about AI safety and he’s a fucking MORON so I am not really too concerned.
Safety? That’s just a word that gets in the way of profits!
