Welcome to this week’s roundup of the finest collection of hand-crafted AI news.
A little less conversation, a little more action, please
The UK AI Safety Summit kicked off this week with the release of the “Bletchley Declaration” which notably saw China join the list of signatories. The summit discussed potential catastrophic future risks, but also emphasized the importance of addressing the risks AI presents right now. The TL;DR version of the summit is: ‘Let’s all try to be safe while we play with AI. See you all in 6 months for another AI safety chat in South Korea.’
Is the Executive Order dead in the water?
The US government released President Biden’s executive order on AI, which raises interesting questions about AI safety requirements. However, getting the US Congress to pass it into legislation may be challenging. Del Complex claims its deep sea platform AI computing rigs could help you dodge AI oversight. Is their claim fact or fiction? You decide.
Big Tech steps up
As governments slow-walk AI safety, Big Tech AI companies are making faster progress in defining AI safety standards. MLCommons and some big names in AI will develop AI safety benchmarks so we can put a number to how safe different models are. OpenAI has also formed a “Preparedness” team to handle AI’s existential risks.
AI for me, but not for thee
The Western-centric nature of datasets used to train AI has led to a new wave of digital colonialism. The Middle East is facing challenges with AI, as deep fakes have been used in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Credible reporting and anti-AI technologies like Leica’s anti-AI camera are important in building trust.
It doesn’t add up
ChatGPT may not be great at math, but Microsoft’s first-quarter financial results surpassed expectations. Google is set to invest $2B in AI startup Anthropic. ChatGPT Plus has added new features, impacting AI startups.
Copy that
Legal battles between AI companies and copyright owners continue. OpenAI had a win in one lawsuit. SAG-AFTRA actors’ guild is concerned about AI cloning and replacement. The strike has been ongoing.
