    Someone’s manner of questioning demands a punch in the face. I cannot believe he had the political power he is having. What’s wrong with the voters’ decency?

    I’m surprised the big challenge was only mentioned briefly. “This is a tool, not a monster.” The problem was not the atom bomb. The problem was how people used the technology. ChatGPT is not the problem. It’s a great gift. The challenge will be how we use it. It was funny to hear Congress ask about the fear of misinformation spread by the very people asking the questions. Again, PEOPLE. These conversations should not be restricted to timed responses on TV where people can pop out their sound bites. This needs to be an emergency lock down session to get this conversation going in detail. It should be against the law to impersonate someone without their permission. It should be against the law to spread lies purposefully to deceive people (I support freedom of speech but not purposeful lies). It should be against the law to pass an AI as a real person. These are obvious. We don’t need a televised dog and pony show. We need strict guidelines punishable when crossed. God help us…

    They’re willing to acknowledge that AI will likely impact millions of jobs.. But the only answer they even remotely wanna talk about, is “skill-training” and “relocation”. UGH No thanks! That’s not gonna properly address this coming crisis at all! What can we possibly retrain all those people for? Where will they go, and why should they leave their family homes and communities?
    How about instead, we implement an AI Dividend as a UBI? Tax automation as it takes over the economy, and repay people for their data, that has been collected all these years, and used to train the AI that displaces them! Give people the time to figure out what comes next for society, and how people live, rather than letting everyone suffer and lose everything they have, then riot.

    omg.. 9:48 what a lousy comparison.. Blackburn doesn’t know what she’s talkin about, if she wants to compare AI to file-sharing. Frankly, there was never anything wrong with file-sharing to begin with! No, “artists” didn’t lose any money, big corporate publishers just wrongly assumed downloads = losted sales, when in reality file-sharing only ended up expanding their fan-base and ensuring they’d make even more money. The industry Could have entirely ignored file-sharing even existed, built their own online distribution, like they ended up doing anyway, and things would have turned out exactly the same as they are today, even if they never cracked down on any of it! There is no comparison to AI art, if that’s what she’s implying. You cannot created perfect replicas of the stuff the AI was trained on, it will always have significant mutations. AI can also learn how to replicate similar styles, without ever seeing original artists, but instead just lookalike artists.

    Mr. Graham – cutting people while they speak and explain, simplifying the issue at hand with a yes or no question when he did not get the yes answer. How can we get the discussions and great ideas flow out if the honorable Mr. Graham continues to behave as such?

  14. Alexey Malafeev

    May 16, 2023 at 6:44 pm

    A lot of the discussion is about short term risks: bias, harmful content, misleading information. We’re missing the most important conversation that we should be having: existential risk — what happens if Artificial General Intelligence is created, and undergoes improvement to become smarter than humans? Humans are the top species on earth because we can think and plan for the future, invent technology, etc. Tigers have sharper claws, but human expansion has made them almost go extinct. When AGI becomes smarter than humans, how to we ensure that it acts in our interests instead of perusing some goal to the limit, like turning every atom on the universe into computer substrate? Keep in mind, you are made out of atoms. These questions form the field of AI Alignment, and these conversations need to happen more broadly, even in the political sphere.

    This is ridiculous. These idiots are thinking about the problem of AI as if it’s something that can be contained…like cryptography…it’s MATH. It’s already out. Certainly, better hardware speeds things up, but it’s not like you need rare materials (I.E.- Plutonium) you need lots of DATA, which is eminently acquirable.

    I suspect within my lifetime, not an advocate for or against A.I systems but an actual A.G.I / A.S.I will sit before congress and give testimony regarding its place in our world, likely advocating for its acceptance as a being worthy of rights equivalent/comparable to those humans its addressing.

    They just need to stop development of AI till the point where humans can integrate with computational power of AI. Simple.
    They should ask questions like,” Can AI over throw government’s”?, why is all the focus on content creation and helpful tools, etc ?
    Also the last bit feel like Mr Graham will be a first target for AI as he drove the point across simply, bypassing Altman’s farse of keeping human race calm till AI becomes self aware and destroys us all.

    The guy who knows most about what his companies technology could do is pretty much the most concerned and the biggest advocate for regulation. He’s the right person to be in charge and maybe we should be more concerned than him

      It seems like Open-AI primarily released GPT to the public BECAUSE they’re worried about what other companies and governments might do with their own versions of the technology behind closed doors, without any regulation or understanding from the public. So, in some ways, we’re really lucky to have this company be the one that “got there first” (if indeed they did). However, it is also possible that the reaction might be to try to shut down or highly regulate the publically-accessible versions of GPT/Bard/etc, and then behind-the-scenes, private versions are used for all the nefarious and questionable things anyway. So, it might not even really matter. Time will tell.

    That was great up until the last guy… what a bigot. he had no respect for the woman, would not let her speak at all, seemed to have an ego bigger than the entire room.

    Regarding drone decision making (fear of accidental innocent deaths via automated drones) this kinda has nothing to do with chat GPT and this fool is trying to punch down on Altman treating him like it is. Would the military have AI built to auto pilot their drones that is built on a chat bot or large LANGUAGE model? No. LOL. Some people just fear what they do not understand.

    Yes, it needs to be regulated, but more than that, humans need to be EDUCATED.

    Chat GPT can ASSIST with that.

    Why don’t we put ChatGPT on the stand? By the way, none of the members of congress know anything about reversible computation, so they need to do some basic reading before embarrassing themselves. RC is the future of computing. People will be much better off if they actually realize this instead of worshipping their own ignorance.

    It’s nice to see this as more of a discussion, the questions weren’t hostile, there was no left or right wing motive, Sam looked relaxed, it felt so much more mature. It’s a shame previous hearings were not as good. Maybe it’s the members asking the questions, maybe they’re learning, or maybe they’re going in with a more open mind.
    Mr Graham maybe needs to wind his neck in a bit and let people speak. I know there’s a time limit, but let IBM expand.

    This hearing was somewhat encouraging. We do need a new regulatory agency, because the challenge is too big for Congress to keep up with and move swiftly enough to correct.

    One regulation I want to see is a label requirement for every product or business that uses AI. People should know if something they are buying is created with A.I., just like we require the Country of Origin of Products to be disclosed.

    I can’t stand when people are asked questions, then as they try to answer them, they’re constantly interrupted, and therefore cannot answer the question. Some answers take more than a “yes” or “no”, even if the question is presented as a yes or no only question.
