Deep dives
OpenAI and the Super Alignment Team
OpenAI's Super Alignment Team is focused on developing scientific and technical breakthroughs to align superintelligent AI systems with human intent. Their goal is to solve the challenges of superintelligence alignment within four years. They are exploring weak to strong generalization, where a weaker model is used to supervise a stronger model, resulting in intermediate performance levels. This approach aims to make measurable progress in aligning superhuman models and scaling alignment techniques that rely on humans. OpenAI has also announced the Super Alignment Fast Grants program, offering $10 million for technical research on aligning superhuman AI systems.
DC Officials Concerned about AI's Impact on Financial System
Officials in Washington, DC and the financial stability oversight council have raised concerns about the potential risks and challenges posed by AI in the financial services sector. They emphasize the need for thoughtful implementation and supervision of AI in financial services to manage potential cybersecurity, compliance, and privacy risks. One specific concern highlighted is the potential for AI-driven trading bots all following the same models and trading in the same direction, leading to market instability. Regulatory efforts to mitigate these risks are expected to play a significant role in ensuring the stability of the financial system.
Intel's AI Chip Efforts and AI Plush Toys by Grimes
Intel has announced Gaudi 3, a chip specifically designed for artificial intelligence applications that aims to compete with Nvidia and AMD offerings. In addition to data center applications, Intel is also focusing on AI capabilities in personal devices, including AI components in their Core Ultra chips for Windows laptops and PCs. Meanwhile, artist Grimes has collaborated with toy company Curio to create a line of AI plush toys. These interactive plush toys learn from the children who own them, with Grimes providing the voice for the initial plushies named Gabo, Graham, and Groc.
OpenAI's Superalignment team, launched this summer, has just published their first paper about weak-to-strong generalizations, and how they can analogize using weaker models to train more advanced models to simulate humans trying to control superhuman AI. Before that on the Brief, Intel's latest in the AI chip race.
