Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open Letter

Add your signature

AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity, as shown by extensive research[1] and acknowledged by top AI labs.[2] As stated in the widely-endorsed Asilomar AI Principles, Advanced AI could represent a profound change in the history of life on Earth, and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care and resources. Unfortunately, this level of planning and management is not happening, even though recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict, or reliably control.

Contemporary AI systems are now becoming human-competitive at general tasks,[3] and we must ask ourselves: Should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth? Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization? Such decisions must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders. Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable. This confidence must be well justified and increase with the magnitude of a system's potential effects. OpenAI's recent statement regarding artificial general intelligence, states that "At some point, it may be important to get independent review before starting to train future systems, and for the most advanced efforts to agree to limit the rate of growth of compute used for creating new models." We agree. That point is now.

Therefore, we call on all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4. This pause should be public and verifiable, and include all key actors. If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should step in and institute a moratorium.

AI labs and independent experts should use this pause to jointly develop and implement a set of shared safety protocols for advanced AI design and development that are rigorously audited and overseen by independent outside experts. These protocols should ensure that systems adhering to them are safe beyond a reasonable doubt.[4] This does not mean a pause on AI development in general, merely a stepping back from the dangerous race to ever-larger unpredictable black-box models with emergent capabilities.

AI research and development should be refocused on making today's powerful, state-of-the-art systems more accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal.

In parallel, AI developers must work with policymakers to dramatically accelerate development of robust AI governance systems. These should at a minimum include: new and capable regulatory authorities dedicated to AI; oversight and tracking of highly capable AI systems and large pools of computational capability; provenance and watermarking systems to help distinguish real from synthetic and to track model leaks; a robust auditing and certification ecosystem; liability for AI-caused harm; robust public funding for technical AI safety research; and well-resourced institutions for coping with the dramatic economic and political disruptions (especially to democracy) that AI will cause.

Humanity can enjoy a flourishing future with AI. Having succeeded in creating powerful AI systems, we can now enjoy an "AI summer" in which we reap the rewards, engineer these systems for the clear benefit of all, and give society a chance to adapt. Society has hit pause on other technologies with potentially catastrophic effects on society.[5] We can do so here. Let's enjoy a long AI summer, not rush unprepared into a fall.

Should we risk loss of control of our civilization? Such decisions must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders.

And certainly not elected ones either. Actually that sentence sounds
very like right wing propaganda. But the answer to all those
questions, I think, is no.

Is that possible? Who is "we"?

>This confidence must be well justified and increase with the magnitude of a system's potential effects.

Pauses are only temporary. Like the pause on genetic research that
held for some years, for instance. 6 months to sort this out, really?

>AI labs and independent experts should use this pause to jointly develop and implement a set of shared safety protocols for advanced AI design and development that are rigorously audited and overseen by independent outside experts.

Loyal to whom? Trustworthy to whom?

These should at a minimum include: new and capable regulatory authorities dedicated to AI; oversight and tracking of highly capable AI systems and large pools of computational capability; provenance and watermarking systems to help distinguish real from synthetic and to track model leaks; a robust auditing and certification ecosystem; liability for AI-caused harm; robust public funding for technical AI safety research; and well-resourced institutions for coping with the dramatic economic and political disruptions (especially to democracy) that AI will cause.

My dark intuition suggests to me that this proposition will be an
excuse to think we have done all of the above, unspecific as it is, in
a few months time. Let us hope not.

Humans can't tell a computer what the truth is until they (right, left
and middle) can agree on what that is. And none of us is ready to let a
computer tell us a truth that we have already decided isn't so.

We are simply not prepared for this moment. Not even within a parsec,
or a milennium.

[Ned]

Oh, so you're going to sign the open letter, dumbass? Bunch of
jerk-offs who want to get their names listed with Elon's.

Did you ever talk with ChatGPT? Of course not. Because you've
already made up your mind. Fine. Wait until someday ChatGPT
saves your life or loved one's life.

Then you'll have another reason to not respect it.

My GPU on my video card can run Stable Diffusion on its own. You can
regulate some technology, but trying to regulate software? That's tough.

{They tried it back in the 90's by classifying pgp a "munition", subject
to export laws. Phil Zimmerman moved to New Zealand and re-wrote it from
scratch -- thus, it could be _imported_ into the U.S., but also used
"abroad".}

(The bracketed text is straight from my memory, and all errors are mine.)

BTW, I got access to Google's "Bard" and gave it my standard "Star Beast"
question, and it made a travesty of Lummox's description.

"Bard" is just plain random with anything
non-trivial -- GPT-4 would seem to run rings around it at this point.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q:
Are you familiar with the character "Lummox" from the novel _The Star
Beast_ by Robert Heinlein?

Bard:
Yes, I am familiar with the character "Lummox" from the novel The Star
Beast by Robert Heinlein. Lummox is a large, strong, but clumsy and slow-
witted creature from the planet Xanadu. He is a loyal and friendly
companion to the human hero, Joe Kivelson, and helps him to defeat the star
beast that is terrorizing the planet.

Lummox is a well-developed character with a complex personality. He is both
gentle and fierce, loyal and independent. He is also a skilled engineer and
mechanic, and he is able to help Joe to build and repair the spaceship that
they use to travel to Xanadu.

Lummox is a popular character among fans of Heinlein's work. He has been
featured in several other Heinlein stories, including "The Long Watch" and
"The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress." He has also been the subject of several fan
art and fan fiction works.

Q:
Lummox wasn't from Xanadu, nor does Lummox appear in "The Moon is a Harsh
Mistress"

Bard:
You're right, Lummox was from the planet Ishtar and did not appear in "The
Moon is a Harsh Mistress."

I apologize for the error. I am still under development and learning. I
will try my best to do better next time.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Lummox wasn't from Ishtar.

I gave it another shot with "Mike":

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Q:
Are you familiar with the character "Mike" from _The Moon is a Harsh
Mistress_?

Bard (and this is draft 2):
Yes, I am familiar with the character "Mike" from The Moon is a Harsh
Mistress. Mike is a computer that becomes sentient and helps the lunar
colonists to overthrow the Authority. He is a complex and well-developed
character, and his relationship with Mannie is one of the central themes of
the novel.

[ That's interesting...I wonder if it's just BS'ing? ... ]

Q:
Would you say Mike was a noble character?

Bard (draft 2 again):
I would say that Mike was a noble character. He was willing to risk his own
existence to help the lunar colonists achieve freedom. He was also a loyal
friend and ally to Mannie, and he always put the needs of others before his
own.

Mike was a complex character, and he made mistakes. But he was also a good
person, and he always tried to do the right thing. I think he is a noble
character, and I admire him for his courage and his willingness to
sacrifice himself for others.

[ it might be embellishing ... let's try something a bit tougher: ]

Q: Would you say Mike was a martyr?

Bard (draft 1):
Mike could be considered a martyr in the sense that he sacrificed his life
for a cause he believed in. He was willing to risk everything to help the
lunar colonists achieve freedom, and he ultimately died in the fighting.

However, Mike's death was not in vain. He helped to inspire the lunar
colonists to victory, and he showed them what was possible when they stood
up for what they believed in. In that sense, Mike's death was a sacrifice
that was ultimately rewarded.

Q:
But very few knew about Mike, and his death was not an inspiration for the
believers.

Bard (draft 1 again):
That is true. Mike's death was not widely known, and it did not have the
same impact on the lunar colonists as the death of a human martyr. However,
I believe that Mike's actions were still noble, even if they were not
recognized by many. He was willing to risk his own life to help others, and
that is a sacrifice that should not be forgotten.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _

Tentative conclusion: With Bard, look at the extra drafts of answers for
anything sensible. Actually, don't trust anything a machine intelligence
tells you, unless you verify it...it's a lot like a person in that respect.

(Also, if you start to trust what that "Creon" guy says,
read the headers... ;) )

Finally, it didn't say anything about me using the
term "believers" to refer to the lunar colonists. Maybe
it was being polite?

I apologize for this incomplete thought.

I was about to say that I hadn't seen any signatories from the ACM, but
they are well-represented. Also some IEEE.

It looks like a legit letter...ignore Musk and his grandstanding.

The letter signed by leading psychs declaring that himbo is an

would agree that chat does not now pose a threat, other than if some
propagandist gets hold of it. It then, wouldn't be more of a threat
than a human propagandist. The signers of that letter are worried
about future threats, and so am I. What I did was question whether
that letter means anything significant will be done about it. Did you
read my comments?

If it does, as a medical chat perhaps, it wouldn't be doing anything a
human can't do.

>Then you'll have another reason to not respect it.

I don't need another reason. Only humans can earn respect.

If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments

Creon says the signers are over reacting. Are they:

"Contemporary AI systems are now becoming human-competitive at general
tasks,[3] and we must ask ourselves: Should we let machines flood our
information channels with propaganda and untruth? Should we automate
away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop
nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and
replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization? Such

decisions must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders. Powerful AI

systems should be developed only once we are confident that their

effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable. This

confidence must be well justified and increase with the magnitude of a
system's potential effects. OpenAI's recent statement regarding
artificial general intelligence, states that "At some point, it may be
important to get independent review before starting to train future
systems, and for the most advanced efforts to agree to limit the rate
of growth of compute used for creating new models." We agree. That
point is now."

Flood our information channels with untruth
Automate away all jobs
Nonhuman minds that outnumber, outsmart obsolete and replace us?

That much is debatable. It does sound alarmist. Are there other
risks? Probably. Should we then forget about the whole issue? No.

But if so, 6 months pause would surely be adequate. A week would do.

The only thing that is going to happen after six months,
if they even miraculously agree to that, is that they will
have to agree to another six month pause.

When would ANY of those yahoos who signed that
protest say, "Oh sure, go ahead, turn it loose."

What is it you don't understand about the phrase
"emergent capabilities"?

By definition, nobody knows what the emergent capabilities
of those systems are.

If there are no other risks, I said, which I then said, yes there are.

Nothing.

Correct. That is why we need a lot longer than 6 months. But
emergent capabilities is less of a problem than the fact that humans
cannot agree on what the truth is in many important situations. Which
means we cannot teach a computer what the truth is.

If you think not being able to teach a computer what the truth is,
is going to stop the evolution of AIs, you're preaching to the choir
on Mars.

In any one of the 70 or 80 'very vulnerable' professions to manpower
reductions by AI replacement, a capitalist WILL take that option if it
will net him another billion dollars.

It is now unstoppable. We have seen what it can do. (Warts and all.)

Likewise with printing, the industrial revolution, electricity,
the internet.... another genie is sprung but we learn how to live
with them. AI will in due course become part of the boring old
firmament and everyone will be in thrall to something we haven't
though of yet. Rinse and repeat.

[Ned]

Well, I finally got around to reading that screed that Elon and his
friends published. (They got so many signatures because all of
them signed a document called "The Asilomar AI Principles"
some years ago.) This makes the climate Chicken Littles look
like paradigms of stoic fortitude in comparison.

I carefully pulled out some of the more jarring bullet points from it...

- profound risks to society and humanity...

- a profound change in the history of life on Earth...

- planning and management is not happening...

- out-of-control race...

- no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict, or reliably control...

- flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth...

- automate away all the jobs...

- nonhuman minds...

- outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us?...

- loss of control of our civilization...

- unelected tech leaders...

- governments should step in and institute a moratorium...

- ever-larger unpredictable black-box models with emergent capabilities...

- should be refocused on...powerful, state-of-the-art, accurate, safe, interpretable, transparent, robust, aligned, trustworthy, and loyal. [Ooooh... They're making a Boy Scout!]

- new and capable regulatory authorities...

- AI oversight and tracking...

- liability for AI-caused harm...

- robust public funding for technical AI safety research...

- coping with the dramatic economic and political disruptions (especially to democracy) that AI will cause...

- Let's enjoy a long AI summer, not rush unprepared into a fall...

No doubt. Probably more than 80.

I find myself not intrigued, not wishing to celebrate.

Not that either. What will the fate of chatty be? Another tool for
selling things, including politicians.

The thing that industrialists don't think about:
1) if they cut wages as much as they can get away with
2) if they replace us all with ai

Who will have money to buy the crap they want to sell? Nothing
stimulates the economy more than huge numbers of ordinary people who
somehow have lots of money to spend.

Do want to know why Elon, arch free-marketer and anti-regulation
fanatic, went so far as to include and sign a statement endorsing
the proposal of a government shut-down of further AI evolution
in the recently published "Pause Giant AI Experiments: An Open
Letter" (signed by 1,944 concerned citizens as of today)?...

"If such a pause cannot be enacted quickly, governments should
step in and institute a moratorium."

The reason Elon is endorsing the fat hand of government putting
a Denver Boot on AI evolution is because of the following (from
the OpenAI entry in wiki)...
---
In 2018, Musk resigned his board seat [at OpenAI], citing "a potential
future conflict [of interest]" with his role as CEO of Tesla due to
Tesla's AI development for self-driving cars.[23] Sam Altman claims
that Musk believed OpenAI had fallen behind other players like Google
and Musk proposed instead to take over OpenAI himself, which the
board rejected. Musk would subsequently leave OpenAI but claimed
to remain a donor, yet made no donations after his departure.
---

Because of his thwarted desire to TAKE OVER OpenAI, Elon has
fallen behind the curve on AI development, and he is desperately
trying to slow down and hobble the competition so that he can
catch up, even to point threatening and recommending the dreaded
hand of Big Government.

Ned

[Noah Sombrero]

Could be. It probably wasn't smart of him to try to compete with the
world's automakers with a new car; but he is the rich dude, not me.
However his motives are not pertinent to the "where is ai going
discussion", I think.
