Exploring AI’s Future: Insights from NeurIPS 2023
Last week at NeurIPS in San Diego, I delved into the urgent conversation surrounding artificial general intelligence (AGI) with Max Tegmark, a leading voice in AI safety. His chilling assertion? AGI could pose a threat to humanity itself.
Key Insights:
- Industry Concerns: No AI company scored above a C+ in the new AI-safety index.
- Attendance Boom: NeurIPS grew from 3,850 in 2015 to 24,500 attendees, showcasing AI’s increasing significance.
- Diverse Conversations: Experts like Zeynep Tufekci stressed that fears of AGI overshadow immediate tech issues.
- Recruitment Frenzy: The demand for AI talent is soaring, highlighted by astonishing starting salaries.
While generative AI reshapes our work, the excitement comes with unresolved questions. What role does AGI play in ongoing innovation?
