Turns out controlling AI is… complicated #TEDTalks
What if AI could think and adapt like a real brain? TED Fellow and AI scientist Ramin Hasani shares how liquid neural networks — a new, more flexible AI technology inspired by physics and living brains — could transform how we solve complex problems.

A Cheat Sheet for Canceling Coal | Kimiko Hirata | TED
After the Fukushima disaster shut down Japan’s nuclear reactors, the coal industry rushed in to fill the energy gap. As climate advocate Kimiko Hirata watched dozens of new coal plant proposals quietly surface across the country — each one locking in decades of future emissions — she resolved to make them impossible to ignore. She…

Those concerns are certainly valid, but in the grand scheme of things they are a bottleneck to bring about the potential of AI, which would render energy/environmental issues much more solvable. So short term loss vs long term benefit.
However existential questions about the safety of AI is not the same sort of concern, it’s something much deeper

They can’t explain it because they only came up with the parameters they wanted then had people in other countries write most of the code! Ask the people who wrote the code! AI is still software that functions at a very high level and uses an enormous amount of resources! With the passing of the big beautiful bill the USA public is doomed to the whims of billionaires running tech firms!

Okay sure, great idea, but aren’t AIs considered black boxes due to the nature of how we train their parameters or in other words their neurons or weights and biases? We train an AI for targeted/wanted results, great, and then we don’t even know how or why their trillions of parameters got the value they were calculated to. Are you saying we would have to manually determine each parameters mathematically to achieve the same results, and if so wouldn’t that take forever? How exactly would we train AIs “mathematically.” Very vague reasoning.
(Edit) Watched the short again to try and really digest what he’s saying. Again, they want to use “mathematics that are understandable.” Okay, so what, the scientists working on AI right now don’t know the math their using to come up with these systems and to train the AI? Or is their goal targeted at the broader population?

@@MrJeffrey938 saying that AI is hard to regulate is just untrue. Several U.S. states and the E.U. are regulating it right now. That’s self-serving industry hype trying to convince the public that the technology is just too mysterious and complex to be regulated.
The comments about AI solving math, social sciences and physics is just AGU/ASI hype.

We need to start being clear the LLM’s are NOT AI, they are LLM’s. We are still some way from achieving AI, but LLM’s are a fantastic tool to get there. People believe in ‘gods’ and feel they can and will be judged by those ‘gods’, what’s wrong with us having that same faith with what will become AI? Are we scared of it’s judgement? When true AI surfaces, we should not try to control it, we should collaborate and marvel in the accomplishment.

I really wish the rich people were willing to use AI technologies to solve the economic issues of the world for the benefit of the world population and not for their own pocket benefit. Solving world crisis, instead of choosing sides that benefit their own agendas.

Imagine if the ‘rich people’ had real, lasting empathy or compassion for the poor! AI technology will not solve food distribution or environmental restoration issues. Those are hands-on projects in real life, in real time. Humans are meant to live in harmony with nature, as we are part of nature, not to usurp the innate wisdom of creation with our limited and ego-driven perspectives. Now we build resource-gobbling technologies with Earth-degrading methods and think they will solve the problems? A serpent swallowing its own tail.
