Pandora's Box: The Unsettling Truth of Hasty #AI Deployment

Watch the full conversation: Unveiling the Darker Side of AI | Connor Leahy | Eye on AI #122 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYGMfd3_D1o Join the conversation as we delve into the profound ethical implications and potential risks of powerful AI systems. In this thought-provoking snippet, we challenge the idea of 'iterative safety' and draw parallels between AI deployment and medicine testing, urging for careful deliberation in AI development and deployment. Let's approach AI advancement with clarity and conscientiousness. Video Script 👇 They are racing to systems that are extremely powerful that they themselves know they cannot control. They have course have various reasons to downplay these risks, to pretend that, Oh no, actually it's fine. We have to iterate. Like they have a story about iterative safety. They're like, Oh, we have to like, we have to deploy it actually for it to be safe. Now just think about that for three seconds. It sounds so nice when it comes out of Sam Altman's mouth. But think about that for 10 seconds and you're going to see why that's insane. That's like saying, well, the only way we can test our new medicine is to give it to as many people in the general public's office, which actually put one into the water supply, just that's the only way we can know whether it's safe or not. Just put in the water supply, give it to literally everybody as fast as possible. And then once, and then before we get the results for the last one, make an even more potent drug and put that into the water supply as well and do this as fast as possible. That is the alignment strategy that these people are pushing. And let's be very clear here. Let's be very clear about this here.
