RESEARCHERS DEMAND “A RIGHT TO WARN” ABOUT AI DANGERS 😳

WARNING: To whoever stole my glasses, I will find you. I have contacts. 🤓

What’s up? In an open letter, a coalition of current and former employees from leading AI companies, including OpenAI and Google DeepMind, expressed alarm over the dangers of emerging AI technologies and called for companies to expand whistleblower protections so employees can voice their concerns about AI dangers without risk of retaliation.

What does the letter say? The group, comprising eleven OpenAI and two Google DeepMind members, highlighted how financial incentives often obstruct effective AI oversight. The letter, called “A Right to Warn about Advanced Artificial Intelligence,” criticizes existing corporate governance structures, deeming them inadequate for mitigating risks. It warns of severe consequences from unregulated AI, such as misinformation, the loss of autonomous AI systems, and exacerbation of social inequalities, potentially leading to “human extinction.” The group argues that AI companies have minimal obligations to disclose system capabilities and limitations to governments, and cannot be trusted to do so voluntarily. They call for AI firms to allow employees to voice safety concerns without being silenced by confidentiality agreements.

Does this matter? This letter joins a growing chorus urging for stricter oversight of GenAI technologies. It is doubtful that this letter will lead to any substantive changes. However, if this request is taken seriously, it would give the public more access to honest insider perspectives on the dangers of AI.

ELON MUSK STEALS AI CHIPS FROM TESLA 👀

Elon Musk must’ve been pretty hungry to steal all those chips. 😆

What happened? Elon Musk has declared his intention to transform Tesla into a leader in AI and robotics, a vision that relies heavily on Nvidia’s advanced AI processors. However, leaked emails found him redirecting a shipment of 12,000 chips from Tesla to X and xAI, calling into question his priorities.

Want the details? Musk has made public plans to boost Tesla’s use of Nvidia’s H100 AI chips from 35,000 to 85,000 by year-end and invest $10 billion on AI infrastructure. However, Musk redirected a $500 million shipment of AI processors from Tesla to his social media company X and his AI company, xAI, delaying Tesla’s GPU deliveries by months.

What is the significance? This diversion has sparked concerns among Tesla shareholders regarding Musk’s commitment and resource allocation between his multiple ventures. However, Musk clarified (above) that Tesla had nowhere to install the chips yet and that they would be better utilized by his other companies. In the long-run, this will most likely not hinder AI development at Tesla, but it does show how Elon Musk is willing to spend and share massive amounts of money across his AI companies.
