For the first time, we’ve invented something that takes power away from us, says the Israeli historian and author of Sapiens

Stories have always been vital to Yuval Harari, the Israeli historian-cum-philosopher. The unique capacity of our species to be bound and united by intangible narratives, even across oceans, was central to Sapiens, his mind-bogglingly popular chronicle of our species’ rise, which catapulted him to seer-like status after its publication in English nearly a decade ago. 
Perhaps that is why he is so profoundly concerned today about the rise of a challenger to our tale-telling mastery – artificial intelligence (AI).

Elon Musk warned in a new interview that artificial intelligence could lead to “civilization destruction,” even as he remains deeply involved in the growth of AI through his many companies, including a rumored new venture.

“AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production, in the sense that it is, it has the potential — however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial — it has the potential of civilization destruction,” Musk said in a teaser clip Fox News shared of his interview with Tucker Carlson, which is set to air in two parts on Monday and Tuesday nights.

Hosts on Venezuelan state-owned television station VTV have been touting positive news coverage about their country from “una agencia gringa” — an American news agency. “This information isn’t coming from VTV, it’s not coming from me … these are numbers from an American news outlet,” one host exclaimed while showing clips of English-speaking anchors reporting favorably on Venezuela hosting baseball’s Caribbean Series and the country’s tourism industry.

The race among tech companies to roll out generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools is raising concerns about how mistakes in technology and blind spots in regulation could hasten the spread of misinformation, elevate biases in results and increase the harvesting and use of Americans’ personal data.

So far tech giants Microsoft and Google are leading the race in releasing new AI tools to the public, but smaller companies and startups are expected to make progress in the field.

Facebook, Meta, Metaverse: Cuộc chạy trốn khủng hoảng đạo đức?

Khi Mark Zuckerberg tuyên bố Facebook sẽ chính thức đổi tên thành Meta giữa những tố cáo của Frances Haugen, một cựu kỹ sư dữ liệu của Facebook, về bằng chứng cho sự tắc trách của công ty này xung quanh một chuỗi những bê bối về chính trị – xã hội, giới quan sát công nghệ không khỏi cảm thấy bi quan cho sự khủng hoảng đạo đức của Zuckerberg nói riêng, và của tập đoàn mạng xã hội do Zuckerberg đứng đầu nói chung.

It may not be too late to put the evil “Slaughterbots” genie back in the bottle, if the world acts now

A chilling future that some had said might not arrive for many years to come is, in fact, already here. According to a recent UN report, a drone airstrike in Libya from the spring of 2020—made against Libyan National Army forces by Turkish-made STM Kargu-2 drones on behalf of Libya’s Government of National Accord—was conducted by weapons systems with no known humans “in the loop.”

TBKTSG – Lâu nay khi nói đến deepfakes, tức kỹ thuật dùng trí tuệ nhân tạo và học máy để làm ra các video giả, người ta chỉ nghĩ đến loại video giả các chính trị gia nói chuyện trên trời dưới đất hay loại video các nhân vật nổi tiếng như David Beckham kể chuyện tiếu lâm bằng tiếng Việt. Thế nhưng, vừa có những cảnh báo bọn lừa đảo dùng công nghệ này để giả danh chủ doanh nghiệp đánh lừa nhân viên để chiếm đoạt tiền bạc. Tiếp tục đọc “Deepfakes đe dọa doanh nghiệp” →

Training a Single AI Model Can Emit As Much Carbon As Five Cars

~ Đào Thu Hằng ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, found that training large artificial intelligence models produces an astonishing amount of carbon emissions — an unexpected cost to the environment.

The process puts out the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide as five lifetime emissions of the average American car, as calculated by MIT Technology Review. That’s more than 626,000 pounds of carbon dioxide — as much as flying from New York to London and back every week for nearly three years.

Whoever Predicts the Future Will Win the AI Arms Race

China, Russia, and the United States are approaching the long-term strategic potential of artificial intelligence very differently. The country that gets it right will reap huge military benefits.

The race for advanced artificial intelligence has already started. A few weeks ago, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the “American AI Initiative,” with which the United States joined other major countries pursuing national strategies for developing AI. China released its “New Generation Plan” in 2017, outlining its strategy to lead the world in AI by 2030. Months after that announcement, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared, “Whoever becomes the leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.” Tiếp tục đọc “Whoever Predicts the Future Will Win the AI Arms Race” →
