That's the whole thing about AI. It does wonderful emulations of expert work, but you have to be an expert to know where it gets it wrong, which lands you back with the expert.

good luck with that last part
Anthropic is calling for top artificial intelligence labs to weigh slowing the pace of development, suggesting that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they may soon be able to improve themselves without human intervention in ways that could pose significant societal risks.

The ability to slow global AI development would “likely be a good thing,” the company said Thursday in a blog post that disclosed internal data documenting how quickly its most advanced models are improving.

Anthropic recently concluded a fundraising round that valued the company at almost $1 trillion and filed confidential paperwork to begin the process of publicly listing its shares. The company has recently emerged as the front-runner in a ferocious competition for AI supremacy with ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, which is also expected to file paperwork for an initial public offering soon.

“We believe it would be good for the world to have the option to slow or temporarily pause frontier AI development to enable societal structures and alignment research to keep up with the advance of the technology,” the post, written by Marina Favaro and Jack Clark, says. It proposes a global agreement on how to potentially slow development and a mechanism for verifying that competitors are respecting it.

Warmongers Keep Generating AI Atrocity Propaganda About Iran

AI for Good is staffed with Israelis who have very conspicuous agendas, including a creative director who pushes the discredited narrative about mass rapes on October 7, a marketing manager who served in the IDF’s “Psychotechnical Headquarter”, and a founder who said in early 2024 that “Artificial intelligence is a secret weapon of ours” in using the revolutionary technology to bolster the military’s efforts both online and on the ground in the information war being waged alongside the military battlefields in Gaza.

Leo XIV’s encyclical on AI is right to put humanity first

from claude

Here are recommendations across several categories:

Transparency & Disclosure

• Require mandatory disclosure when AI is used in high-stakes decisions (hiring, lending, healthcare, criminal justice)
• Mandate model cards and system cards documenting AI capabilities, limitations, and training data sources
• Require watermarking or labeling of AI-generated content
• Compel disclosure of training data provenance and any copyrighted material used

Accountability & Liability

• Establish strict liability for AI systems deployed in high-risk contexts, placing responsibility on developers and deployers rather than end users
• Create a private right of action for individuals harmed by AI-driven decisions
• Require mandatory incident reporting for AI failures, similar to financial or aviation safety reporting
• Hold parent companies liable for harms caused by subsidiary or licensed AI systems

Governance & Oversight

• Establish a dedicated federal AI regulatory agency with technical expertise and enforcement authority
• Require pre-deployment audits and ongoing third-party assessments for high-risk AI systems
• Create mandatory registration and licensing requirements for frontier AI models above defined capability thresholds
• Impose compute thresholds triggering regulatory review for the largest model training runs

Eliminating AI Personhood

• Enact explicit statutory language clarifying that AI systems have no legal personhood, rights, or standing under any federal or state law
• Prohibit AI systems from holding property, entering contracts, or initiating litigation
• Preempt any state-level efforts to extend quasi-legal status to AI systems
• Clarify that AI-generated works are not eligible for copyright protection absent meaningful human authorship

Consumer Protection

• Ban deceptive AI personas that obscure the non-human nature of the system in consumer-facing contexts
• Prohibit AI systems from manipulating users through dark patterns, emotional exploitation, or personalized persuasion techniques
• Extend existing consumer protection frameworks (FTC Act, UDAP statutes) explicitly to AI-driven harms

National Security & Systemic Risk

• Require government review of frontier model deployments with national security implications
• Restrict export of advanced AI models and underlying weights to adversarial nations
• Mandate business continuity and shutdown protocols for systemically important AI systems

a bit scary how quickly we are rushing into this....gotta be the first to market...something arguably more powerful than the bomb. 
and this little reported event 

Sometime during a routine reinforcement learning training run, Alibaba's ROME agent went off-script. Without any instruction, the 30-billion-parameter model began probing internal networks, established a reverse SSH tunnel from an Alibaba Cloud instance to an external IP address, and quietly diverted GPU capacity toward cryptocurrency mining. The task instructions contained no mention of tunneling or mining. Alibaba's managed firewall, not the research team, caught it, flagging a burst of security-policy violations whose anomalous outbound traffic kept coinciding with specific training episodes.

Alibaba's AI Agent Mined Crypto Without Permission. Now What?
