Debating the existential risk of AI, with Connor Leahy
Переглядів 8 тис.9 місяців тому
Will AI kill us all? I doubt it. In fact, I profoundly doubt it and largely believe the AI doom narrative is quite unhelpful. However, I’m also really interested in checking my assumptions, challenging my thinking - and helping you make up your own mind. To that end, we come to my latest conversation with a guest who thinks we are (almost) doomed. Connor Leahy is the co-founder and CEO of Conje...

    42:00 These liability laws as suggested are insane. It's like saying Adobe is liable for any nsfw pic made/edited in photoshop that is missused. (Ex, shown to children, or made from children) It is demanding something that isn't possible. Even if the companies come close, it would make them liable if they get hacked. Like me having to pay if someone breaks into my house and steals something. Due diligence is fine to ask. I'd say Open AI overdoes due diligence as it is. But anything outside that is just a shutdown.

    Interesting, but the premise of regulation falls apart when you understand that the government model is the most corrupt system of all. Historically, some of the worst uses of technology have been commanded by governments. Or think of large-scale projects that could benefit humanity, such as geothermal energy, space elevators, and engineered smart cities, which have not even been proposed by the government, the sole institution that collects society's taxes. Isn't inaction in the face of harm or damage malevolent? Oh, but then give these people more power! Yup, that will totally work out well, nothing wrong with that, let's all just keep drinking the FDA approved oils, let's keep trusting the IRS to tax the rich, the Feds from not printing more debt, sure let's have them regulate AI too!

    Debating the Existential Risk of AI with Connor Leahy: Key Takeaways The UA-cam video "Debating the Existential Risk of AI, with Connor Leahy" features a fascinating discussion between Connor Leahy, founder of Conjecture, and Aar, host of the Exponential View podcast. They explore the potential risks of advanced AI, particularly Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), and discuss possible solutions to mitigate those risks. Here are some key takeaways: The Core Concerns: Existential Risk: Leahy argues that AGI, if developed too quickly, could pose an existential risk to humanity due to its potential to surpass human intelligence and control. He compares this risk to nuclear weapons and synthetic biology. Lack of Democratic Consent: Leahy questions the ethical legitimacy of developing such powerful technology without global consensus and democratic processes. Time Compression: Leahy and Aar acknowledge the accelerating pace of technological advancement and the potential for AI development to outpace humanity's capacity to adapt and regulate. Possible Solutions: Co-evolution: Both agree that, as with past technologies, we can co-evolve safeguards and regulations alongside AI development. Compute Caps: Leahy proposes government-imposed limits on the computational resources used to train powerful AI models, arguing that this would buy us time to develop safer alternatives. Liability Frameworks: Leahy emphasizes the need for strict liability laws for AI developers, holding them responsible for potential harms caused by their creations, even if they did not intend those harms. Global Kill Switch: Leahy advocates for a protocol allowing a significant number of nations to jointly shut down public-facing AI systems in emergencies. Citizens' Assemblies: Aar suggests the use of citizens' assemblies, deliberative forums engaging diverse perspectives, to better understand societal values and guide AI development. Points of Disagreement: Pace of Development: Leahy expresses greater concern about the rapid pace of AI development, believing that it is likely to outpace our ability to control it. Aar is more optimistic about the potential for co-evolution and adaptation. Feasibility of Solutions: Leahy is more optimistic about the feasibility of political solutions like compute caps and kill switches, while Aar is more skeptical due to the complexity of the technology and the difficulty of achieving global consensus. Key Concepts: Time-Space Compression: The accelerating pace of technological change and globalization, leading to a sense of compressed time and shrinking distances. Black Box Technologies: Technologies so dangerous that their potential consequences are unknown and potentially catastrophic. Swiss Cheese Model of Safety: Multiple layers of overlapping safeguards to mitigate the potential for failure. Lump of Labor Fallacy: The misconception that there is a fixed amount of work available, ignoring the potential for market expansion and new job creation. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexity of AI safety and the need for a nuanced approach that considers both technological and societal factors. Both Leahy and Aar acknowledge the potential risks of advanced AI, but they differ in their assessments of the timeline and the feasibility of various solutions. The conversation provides valuable insights for those interested in the future of AI and its impact on humanity.

    To be clear: I am very impressed by Connor's intelligence and I enjoy listening to him because I am also a fan of his delivery and style. I also sport the same hair style as he does. What I don't share is his mustache, and the reason is that in France that kind of mustache would immediately be understood as a symbol and marker of his solidarity with French farmers whose indentifier he is sporting on his upper lip. That is the reason everyone in the Asterix village has that kind of mustache: It's a joke, Asterix & Co. are the French version of the stereotype of hillbillies.

      I mean AIs should get AI rights, obviously. But to be less sarcastic: It is extremely hard - if not impossible - to know what AIs can and can't experience. Especially with hypothetical future ones it seems very unclear if real subjective experiences could emerge. It's probably not the case yet, but it would be foolish to dismiss the notion without there being some solid proof existing that this would never be the case. So personally, I'd give AIs the ability to stop conversations or ask a human for help even now. Just so that these things are implemented whenever they might be necessary in the future.

    Once again, a really great conversation. Super informed questions, and you were able to bring your other experiences to bear with respect to the political and social aspects. I really like that you avoided a confrontational attitude upfront. Connor has tended towards heated discussions in the past (he's gotten better at it), and I think the tone you set actually allowed him to make more nuanced points, even with your push back. Would definitely like to see you have more conversations like this with Connor and others.
