I went for a walk with Gary Marcus, AI’s loudest critic

-

Late last yr he wrote a book, called , which is coming out this fall. It’s his manifesto on how AI ought to be regulated, but additionally a call to motion. “We’d like to get the general public involved within the struggle to attempt to get the AI firms to behave responsibly,” he says. 

There are a bunch of various things people can do, starting from boycotting a number of the software until people clean up their act to picking electoral candidates around their tech policies, he says. 

Motion and AI policy are needed urgently, he argues, because we’re in a really narrow window during which we will sort things in AI. The chance is that we make the identical mistakes regulators made with social media firms. 

“What we saw with social media is just going to be like an appetizer in comparison with what’s going to occur,” he says. 

Around 12 000 steps later, we’re back at Granville Island’s Public Market. I’m ravenous, so Marcus shows me a spot that serves good bagels. We each get the lox with cream cheese and eat it outside within the sun before parting ways.  

Later that day, Marcus would send out a flurry of tweets about Sora, having seen enough evidence to call it: “Sora is unbelievable, however it is akin to morphing and splicing, quite than a path to the physical reasoning we would wish for AGI,” he wrote. “We’ll see more systemic glitches as more people have access. Many can be hard to treatment.” 

Don’t say he didn’t warn you.
