Executive Summary America’s system of laws is focused around holding individual actors responsible for their own actions, as opposed to trying to regulate and control every aspect of technology like Europe or China. That is why the AI revolution started in the United States and why the United States is poised to lead in this new technology. However, there are many who are trying to import European-style controls onto AI, even before we know how AI will develop or how it will be used.| Research on Alliance for the Future

At a conference last week, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark said that LLMs are approaching a technical depth that most non-experts cannot evaluate. As if to immediately prove him correct, his competitor OpenAI released a model specialized for complex math and programming problems, prompting a dozen people to ask me for review requests. https://openai.com/index/learning-to-reason-with-llms/ Newscard GPT o1 is the long-awaited strawberry OpenAI once again takes a substantial research lead o1 mak...| www.affuture.org

A common anti-AI argument is that AI is inherently dangerous because the ability to improve AI research by using AI products makes a scenario where “recursive self-improvement” leads to a near-infinite amount of improvement in weeks, if not faster. Some versions of the argument say that if there is even a 0.01% chance this happens, the consequences would be so disastrous that it’s worth worrying about despite the low probability. I will address that version of the argument.| Alliance for the Future

The Policy-Relevant History of Artifical Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad statistical process used to process data. Media coverage of AI has largely focused on applications related to text and image models, such as ChatGPT or DALLE respectively. A common misconception is that these are the only applications of AI. There are diverse applications of these techniques across industries, including manufacturing, product design, construction, medicine, and agriculture.[1][2][3] ...| Alliance for the Future

Original Article In the olden days, everyone was a farmer; in the early 20th century, a lot of people worked in factories; today, most people work in services: And it’s easy to think that in a simple supply-and-demand world, this shrinking of the human domain will reduce wages. As humans get squeezed into an ever-shrinking set of tasks, the supply of labor in those remaining human tasks will go up. A glut of supply drives down wages.| Community on Alliance for the Future
Original Post When ChatGPT was introduced last fall, it sent shockwaves through the technology industry and the larger world. Machine learning researchers had been experimenting with large language models (LLMs) for a few years by that point, but the general public had not been paying close attention and didn’t realize how powerful they had become. Today almost everyone has heard about LLMs, and tens of millions of people have tried them out.| Community on Alliance for the Future
Original Post The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out. Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world, and in fact may save it. First, a short description of what AI is: The application of mathematics and software code to teach computers how to understand, synthesize, and generate knowledge in ways similar to how people do it. AI is a computer program like any other – it runs, takes input, processes, and generates output.| Community on Alliance for the Future
