This sublemmy is a place for sharing news and discussions about artificial intelligence, core developments of humanity's technology and societal changes that come with them. Basically futurology sublemmy centered around ai but not limited to ai only.

Rules:
  1. Posts that don't follow the rules and don't comply with them after being pointed out that they break the rules will be deleted no matter how much engagement they got and then reposted by me in a way that follows the rules. I'm going to wait for max 2 days for the poster to comply with the rules before I decide to do this.
  2. No Low-quality/Wildly Speculative Posts.
  3. Keep posts on topic.
  4. Don't make posts with link/s to paywalled articles as their main focus.
  5. No posts linking to reddit posts.
  6. Memes are fine as long they are quality or/and can lead to serious on topic discussions. If we end up having too much memes we will do meme specific singularity sublemmy.
  7. Titles must include information on how old the source is in this format dd.mm.yyyy (ex. 24.06.2023).
  8. Please be respectful to each other.

  11. No ai generated images/videos unless their role is to represent new advancements in generative technology which are not older that 1 month.

Note:

My posts on this sub are currently VERY reliant on getting info from r/singularity and other subreddits on reddit. I'm planning to at some point make a list of sites that write/aggregate news that this subreddit is about so we could get news faster and not rely on reddit as much. If you know any good sites please dm me.

MODERATORS
 

In a recent interview, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, shared his vision for the future of AI and its potential to transform society. He emphasized the importance of democratizing AI and ensuring its benefits are accessible to everyone. Altman also discussed the need for global regulation to manage potential risks associated with powerful AI systems.

Altman believes that AI can significantly improve the quality of education and healthcare globally, and could even help eradicate poverty. However, he acknowledges the potential risks and advocates for a globally coordinated response to manage these risks.

One of the key points Altman made was about democratizing the control of OpenAI. He stated that the board of OpenAI should be democratized to all of humanity over time. He believes that the benefits, access to, and governance of AI technology should belong to humanity as a whole, and not be concentrated in the hands of a single company or individual.

Altman also addressed the relationship with Microsoft, stating that while it's not without its challenges, it's the best major partnership he's been a part of. He dismissed concerns about Microsoft having more control over OpenAI than the leadership realizes.

In terms of AI's potential to self-improve, Altman acknowledged that this is a classic sci-fi idea and that it's worth paying attention to, even though we're a ways away from that reality.

He went on to say that he felt the same way about other people's copyrighted works, which is why he feels justified in using them to train his machine learning models without consultation or permission.
