The article lost me at "...it may well be best if advanced AI is developed in secret by a small elite group"
How on earth could such a limitation be accomplished? It just doesn't seem plausible. If AI offers some organization somewhere in the world a competitive advantage -- how can development of that AI possibly be stopped?
- chubot 11y agoYeah it's not going to happen that way anyway. If you look at the history of science, multiple discovery is the rule rather than the exception. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_discovery There are going to multiple groups... one of them could be small and elite I suppose. But we have no idea in general how it will play out. People seem to be scared of Google (OpenAI mentions them a lot), but the time frame is long enough that that's far from certain, and perhaps unlikely. I mean just like the Human Genome Project and Celera were within spitting distance of each other. I think that's how it will play out with AI.
