  • Lauded for his groundbreaking work in reverse-engineering OpenAI's large language model, GPT-2, AI expert Connor Leahy tells Imran Garda why he is now sounding the alarm.
    Leahy is a hacker, researcher and expert on Artificial General Intelligence. He is the CEO of Conjecture, a company he co-founded to focus on making AGI safe. He shares the view of many leading thinkers in the industry, including the godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton, who fear what they have built. They argue that recent rapid unregulated research combined with the exponential growth of AGI will soon lead to catastrophe for humanity - unless an urgent intervention is made.

    I was born in the 70's. As a child I experienced life as:
    - In order to listen to music, I needed a record player, cassette player, or walkman
    - In order to takes pictures I needed a camera and film.
    - In order to pay a bill, you needed to mail a check or go to the bank
    - In order to shop, you went out and shopped, and came home with bags of what you bought
    - In order get the weather, wait until 5pm and watch the news for a 3 day forecast
    - In order to watch my favorite TV Show, get home in time to watch it, or you will miss it and never see a rerun
    - I went to see movies in a movie theater
    - I needed a movie camera to make a movie
    - I needed a map and compass to find my way
    - I needed cash
    - I needed family, friends, and a social life
    .... on and on and on.... (add your own with a reply)
    Today...
    - I need only a "smart" phone.
    Imagine what "needs" AI will take away from us in just 5 years. I see "The Matrix" type of event happening. Eventually, we don't even know what is real or not.

    Huge respect to Connor. He seems truly good and super intelligent person.

Most people actually want to see other people's misery to some extent to forget their own and/or to feel supremacy. Very few are content/enlightened enough not to have this trait. There are people who gain money and resources from this quirk, just see your CZcams suggestions or open any tabloid site. That is normative psychopathy: in the past we mutilated people on town square and haven't really taken many steps forward from there.

What he talks about is creating an AI that can take over the control without knowing we're doing that. Talking about the airliners and the cyborgs it's as if we wanted to build automated airliners and one day figuring out that what we thought was just an airliner with autopilot (but without the capability to land autonomously) turns out to be able to fly itself without a pilot ever entering the cockpit.

    This was a very well done interview. I like the questions he came up with, how they were phrased was even appreciated by Connor.
    The biggest problem I see with the AI industry is talked about around the 17:30 point of this video. The US has a lot of pretend leaders in positions they should never have had the opportunity to occupy. When you have the people in charge, the ones making decisions for millions of people, that don't know the first thing about AI, they are open to be manipulated by the people that do know AI, the ones developing it.
    I think it was around 18:45, they were discussing this subject further, and Connor (Terminator referenced interview of someone named Connor) stated there are no adults in the room. There is not someone that knows better, and will solve all of the problems we have. Conner also stated something I've wondered about for the past 15 years or so, how is anything running at all? I recently retired from a major air carrier after 30 years, and I always thought how much better the company would run if the top management just gave a @#$% about their employees. So many parts of the company were mismanaged, but it was amazing the profits that were still being made.
    I don't agree with his optimism at around 18:00 that politicians can be moved by the will of the people. Maybe on a local level, where a grassroots effort gets a decision reversed, but not on this level, a national level with the amount of money involved. And has he seen the group of clowns....uh I mean politicians...that are pretending to be in charge?
    Again, the last part, where Connor mentioned Control AI and their goal of bringing humanity together...does anyone really believe this will happen in our lifetime, if at all?

    Politicians are largely too old and out of touch to even scratch the surface of understanding how transformative and horrifying this is. The laws need to be made before, not after.

      Laws are for the poor. AI is a tool for the ultra-wealthy. Most technological enthusiasts are too YOUNG to understand that the threat posed by AI is just the same threat that’s been facing humanity (and the environment) from day one.
      It’s just another tool to be used to increase the wealth and power imbalance between us and the most wealthy and powerful interest groups. It’s not the artificial intelligence that we have to worry about enslaving us, manipulating us, and destroying the environment that we live in; It’s the humans with the power and resources to develop and control the AI, using their technological advantages to do the same things they’ve been doing to us and the planet for thousands of years, just orders of magnitude more efficiently.

      It is because of the bourgeois and former merchant class that we are in this situation.
      In the age of despotic monarchy and absolutism, there were multiple “estates” described by thinkers of the day; particularly in France. These included the old nobility, the bourgeois and the clergy. The estates were an opposing force to the state and monarch. The monarch, who had no reason to be beholden to these people with their own power base being their inherited position and their nation’s standing, viewed them as a threat to the national interest and their own power. So they were tightly controlled and managed for the benefit of the monarch and state apparatus. The only estate that could escape sometimes was the clergy - as long as they did not involve themselves politically. Nowadays, with the flawed concept of “democracy” and republicanism, while the old nobility is essentially dismantled, the clergy is weakened and sidelined, the bourgeois control the government from the shadows while the sheep voters remain ignorant and think they are making a difference. All national decisions are decided by corporate interests rather than the national interest, or even the people’s interest.
      So, no, democracy is not better than any alternative. Democracy is the root of all political issues plaguing us to this day. If the people were not foolish enough to enslave themselves following the false ephemeral mirage of “freedom”, we would not be here.

      If corporate interests are not the root of all problems in western politics today, what is? Literally everything from geopolitical positions to local legislation and regulations are decided by corporate interests in the US, and this affects everybody else. If the monarchies of old were not dismantled in the name of revolution and so called “enlightenment”, we would at worst be dealing with political repression and slowed social “progress”, a mixed bag, rather than traitors and rampant corruption in our own governments. In a monarchy the “corruption” inherent in the succession system is instead turned to a strength, binding and tying the monarch and their dynasty to the nation and it’s wellbeing inseparably. Whereas in a republic the periodic rulers have far more incentive to compromise national interests and exploit their subjects for personal gain, whether it is by abusing and extorting the bourgeois, like Idi Amin, or becoming their lackey and accomplice.

      It's possible that it's not his real name or he changed it. A lot of public figures use fake names. The idea of ribots turning against their masters is the same one of scientists messing with nature and playing god. At some point you must balance the risk of dying with the advantages of technology. For example you often hear religious guys say "if god wanted us to fly he would have given us all wings" ...but humanity has been flying in planes long enough to not give a crap about that once the advantages outweighed the risk of dying in plane crashes. I think AI is going through a similar thing. I personally think it will make us happy but create new problems. Eg Already hollywood actors and writers strike happened out of fear that AI will put them out of a job. Someone has to either place them in a society similar to the Amish where they live life stuck at a certain level of technological advancement or get them jobs or else there will be a lot of anti‐AI terrorists out there blowing up big tech companies buildings.

      The switch from belief systems that thought they belonged to the land, to those who think that the land belongs to them, is another way of looking at it; but the bottom line is that we refuse to accept what we cannot be, and waste time and intelligence pursuing the wrong goals.

    I've been a software developer since 1986. Circa 1989 I was discussing software engineering with a guy, outside a topless bar 😊, and he brought up nano technology and then explained how nanobots replicate. I thought he was nuts.
    About 4 years, maybe, Scott McNeely, CEO of Sun Microsystems at the time, put out a page article, in multiple major news papers, I think, warning about the danger we might create.
    His fear came after talking to computer scientist, author, inventor, and futurist Ray Kurzweil; one of my all time favorite person. Read about Kurzweil and his challenge create a electronic piano.
    Summation: New technology scares people; even smart people.

This technology is moving too fast, it's being tested and developed with a bunch of heartless oligarchs and corporations breathing down its neck, screaming about a return on their investment and they want it now.

    To be very honest : I don‘t know what is more scary to me - a system which is far more intelligent than any human or a system that is far more intelligent than any human under and being controlled by humans.
    Such an intelligence in the hand of any human is for me by far the greater risk than any other - never underestimate the greed and egomania of humans being in touch with too much power. Not an AGI but we are our worst enemy

      I guess parandoras box is already opened (as they can‘t stop anymore - in opposite each side has to push now even faster to beat each other) - the holy grail are self-learning / training systems with synthetic data - but self-learning means a form of self-motivation and so far I understand the laws of nature this will get very soon get out of you hands with uncontrollable, random effects.
      I don‘t see any reason why a hyperintelligent system should be any threat for life/humans - only for the reason that it is trained / motivated by humans in this direction (which for me sounds like suicide in the end as it has to fireback at one moment). And that is for me the big difference a nuke has no own motivation or world model and is sitting there until someone pushes a button. With AI there is no button anymore - it is incorporated.

      Bingo! Most people can’t wrap their minds around the idea that the ruling class doesn’t need us to buy their stuff. I think the belief that the ruling class is motivated entirely by money, or even by power, brings the majority of people some sense of false security. It’s the human need to feel and be useful to those we depend upon. But what if the ruling class really does just want us gone? What if the earth and all of its resources are more valuable to them than the rapidly declining in value dollar? I mean, what value does money have if there is nothing it can buy? What good is money if there is no food to buy with it? In my opinion, we have only been kept around because we have been needed for our labor. Over the last 100 years, the ruling class has worked to ensure they will never need our labor again. They do not like being dependent on us, particularly when we have so much disdain for them. Who knows, if I had that much money and power, I’d probably want to get rid of everyone who hates me too.

    The most important thing to understand from this is *_exponential_* growth.
    It's not only AI. Economic growth, material consumption, waste outputs, etc. Many fundamental elements of our current civilisation have been growing exponentially. Sooner or later, something inevitably flips from the horizontal-ish part of the curve to the vertical-ish part of the curve. Other interrelated things will rapidly follow.
    If you don't really understand what 'exponential' means, find out.
