Artificial Intelligence (2024 - 05 - 17) "The group’s main demand is for a pause on the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4—it’s calling for all countries to implement this measure, but specifically calls out the United States as the home of most leading AI labs. The group also wants all UN member states to sign a treaty that sets up an international AI safety agency with responsibility for granting new deployments of AI systems and training runs of large models. Their protests are taking place on the same day as OpenAI announced a new version of ChatGPT to make the chatbot act more like a human." | Artificial Intelligence (2024 - 05 - 17) "--Colorado and Connecticut lead AI regulation amid industry resistance, balancing innovation with safeguards. --Connecticut's ambitious legislation faces hurdles, while Colorado navigates pressure to follow suit. --Industry lobbying influences state-level AI regulation, raising concerns over stifling innovation." |
