The government doesn’t have the authority to regulate AI.
Basically no one trusts the government enough to do that in the Western world.
The actual proposition of it sounds preposterous – “like, you mean, the same governments that are producing war and mass death everywhere? Or like the UN, which can’t get water into Gaza?”
Basically, AI is just something you’re going to have to deal with.
You won’t know what is real, at all.
Any video you see, any phone conversation you have – you are never going to know if any of it is real.
The world must treat the risks from artificial intelligence as seriously as the climate crisis and cannot afford to delay its response, one of the technology’s leading figures has warned.
Speaking as the UK government prepares to host a summit on AI safety, Demis Hassabis said oversight of the industry could start with a body similar to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Hassabis, the British chief executive of Google’s AI unit, said the world must act immediately in tackling the technology’s dangers, which included aiding the creation of bioweapons and the existential threat posed by super-intelligent systems.
