One of OpenAI\u2019s founders has a new company dedicated to solving a problem that doesn\u2019t exist and likely never will. Ilya Sutskever\u2019s Safe Superintelligence is focused on making an AI that, if it becomes sentient, doesn\u2019t want to destroy humanity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have yet to see a coherent explanation for how a system whose \u201cprimary goal, insofar as they have one, is to produce human-like text<\/a>,\u201d becomes an existential threat to the human race.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even if it did, I think it would be hard-pressed to beat climate change in the Destroying Humanity 500. But what do I know? I\u2019m just a journalist.\u00a0 So I asked an expert, Chris Penn, co-founder and chief data scientist at TrustInsights.ai, what he thought about the idea of AI wiping us all out.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be blunt, it\u2019s bull,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Penn believes the people talking up this threat are doing so to distract from real problems AI is already creating.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, the reason why you have all these alarmists \u2014 and this is tinfoil hat territory \u2014 but it\u2019s a deflection from the real harms and risks that generative AI produces,\u201d he said. \u201cNamely things like bias and reinforcing inequalities that already exist. It\u2019s going to create substantial structural unemployment, which will create much, much worse income inequality.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Penn, the alarmists have a vested interest they are trying to protect: Money.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people who are doing all the Skynet doomsday stuff are also, coincidentally, the people who will financially benefit the most from AI vacuuming up all the profits and not having to pay wages,\u201d he said. \u201cSo these people will be the first ones put up against the wall and shot when the proletariat decides we\u2019re tired of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

I wish any of what Penn said was as implausible as AI hosting a cage fight against the human race. Still, I suspect Safe Superintelligence will have no trouble getting funding.<\/p>\n\n\n

Now, here\u2019s this week\u2019s AI-powered martech solutions, enhancements and releases.<\/p>\n
