Artificial General Intelligence readiness advisor Miles Brundage bails, because nobody is ready
OpenAI has lost another senior staffer, and on his way out the door this one warned the company – and all other AI shops – are just not ready for artificial general intelligence.
"Neither OpenAI nor any other frontier lab is ready, and the world is also not ready," he wrote, adding"To be clear, I don't think this is a controversial statement among OpenAI's leadership, and notably, that's a different question from whether the company and the world are on track to be ready at the relevant time ."
"I think AI capabilities are improving very quickly and policymakers need to act more urgently," he noted, but suggested recent experience in fields such as pandemic preparedness mean action won't happen unless leaders can communicate a sense of urgency. "I think that having and fostering such a zero-sum mentality increases the likelihood of corner-cutting on safety and security," he suggested, before urging"academics, companies, civil society, and policymakers work collaboratively to find a way to ensure that Western AI development is not seen as a threat to other countries' safety or regime stability, so that we can work across borders to solve the very thorny safety and security challenges ahead.
But there may be some tough years first."In the near term, I worry a lot about AI disrupting opportunities for people who desperately want work."
