The Future was Yesterday

What tools do we use and a general chat between us about the future of AI, we would love your views as well and don,t forget about the blog

Would it be possible for an AGI to learn beyond human input in all the fields it knows? Which narrow AI’s have shown Super Intelligence already? How can we begin to imagine what goals an ASI would set itself? Would an ASI ever dare to be honest with humans? Would we understand the findings of looking into the ‘black box’ of an ASI’s working?

Forbes report, World Economic Forum’s predictions on how work will be affected. So have Price Waterhouse Cooper, the TUC and many other organisations of late. Will a Universal Basic Income be necessary, or will governments accept the societal upheavals with increasing draconian controls? What type of jobs won’t be affected. Does AI make a ‘knowledge worker’ 40% more efficient as is claimed. Who will benefit most from that 40%, the owners of the AI technology or the workers, by still having a job at all?

Show 2. Can we align AI to human values Alignment - ethics of ai,+ legislation, is this the best means we have of controlling GPTs that break the rules, that deceive. 1,000+ tech leaders called for a temporary halt on GPT development beyond the current GPT4 to better align human values to AI goals - what will this achieve? Will legislators ever catch up with the implications of AI or always just try to react to what’s happened. Look at Social Media and the lack of control!

Going beyond the everyday6 hype of Artificial Intelligence, and how it's marketed to us as consumers. We give an introduction to what AI is, with examples of current use, ending with the goal of OpenAI who seek to develop AGI, Artificial General Intelligence. In this series we will examine the big questions, is it possible to control AI's development, what will it mean for jobs, how will it affect all our futures. We will try to do this in simple terms, without a corporate spin.
