At @FLI_org we're thrilled to have been a part of the ECOWAS Regional Conference on Autonomous Weapons Systems, organized by the government of Sierra Leone and the Centre for Accountability and Rule of Law. While a small (and decreasing!) number of nations only pay lip service…
I was honored to get to brief the bipartisan House AI task force and speak with many House members last week about deepfakes + other AI risks. I was encouraged by the quality of the questions I got and by the bipartisan enthusiasm for steering AI away from bad uses.
East Asia has always been our enemy, and we can 100% trust Facebook, Instagram and Google to protect our privacy and ontological purity (I’m sure that their lobbying had nothing to do with this ban of their competitor):

The global south is coming together to rally against lethal autonomous weapons, realizing that they’re likely to be victimized by them. Delegating lethal power to AI is IMHO a terrible idea for developed countries as well.

Will Israel invade Rafah imminently or not? US and Israeli leaders are split & we'll soon see who's accurate. What do *you* predict? improvethenews.org/controversy/wi… @JoeBiden

Public figures still disagree on whether climate change is an existential threat or overhyped. What do *you* think? @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @Pontifex @GretaThunberg @MichaelEMann improvethenews.org/controversy/cl…
p(Doom) = 0; I must confess, X Risk from AI is completely made up. I invented the whole field of AI Safety just to make money. It is so much easier to get grants from billions of dollars allocated for safety work, VS almost nothing available for AI development. This was…
I'm so tired of all these dumb decel doomers who freak out over #ChatGPT, #Gemini, #Claude & #Grok and claim that machines can one day get larger than people – it's obviously impossible: arxiv.org/abs/1703.10987

This scene from 3 Body Problem sums it up: a small group is undemocratically inviting alien intelligences to earth. “I am warning you: do not answer. If you respond, your world will be conquered.” e/accs: “Come. We cannot save ourselves. I will help you conquer this world.”…

RIP Vernor Vinge, who coined the term AI "singularity", but didn't live long enough to see it. Here is is (far right) at our 2015 Puerto Rico AI safety conference.
A Russia-US #NuclearWar would be humanity's dumbest act yet & may kill about 99% in the US, Russia and Europe as seen in our simulation:
One year ago today we released an open letter calling for a six-month pause on giant AI experiments. A lot has happened since then - far more than we could have predicted. 🧵 Some highlights from the past year of unprecedented momentum and progress addressing risks from AI 👇
I’ve only done a small amount of neuroscience research, but enough to appreciate how amazing it is: Nolan is controlling his cursor with thoughts detected by a Bluetooth device in his head.
