This is: AI #72: Denying the Future, published by Zvi on July 12, 2024 on LessWrong. The Future. It is coming. A surprising number of economists deny this when it comes to AI. Not only do they deny the future that lies in the future. They also deny the future that is here, but which is unevenly distributed. Their predictions and projections do not factor in even what the AI can already do, let alone what it will learn to do later on. Another likely future event is the repeal of the Biden Executive Order. That repeal is part of the Republican platform, and Trump is the favorite to win the election.

In tandem with privacy, cybersecurity law is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of an increasingly digitized and complex economy. To help practitioners keep up with this ever-changing space, the IAPP published the first edition of Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals in 2021. But there have been a lot of developments since then. Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals author Jim Dempsey, lecturer at UC Berkeley Law School and senior policy advisor at Stanford Cyber Policy Center, brought on a co-author, John Carlin, partner at Paul Weiss and former Assistant Attorney General, to help with the new edition. IAPP Editorial Director Jedidiah Bracy recently spoke with both Dempsey and Carlin about the latest trends in cybersecurity, including best practices in dealing with ransomware, the significance of the new SEC disclosure rule, cybersecurity provisions in state privacy laws, trends in FTC enforcement, the recent Biden Executive Order on preventing access to bulk sensitive personal data to countries of concern, and much more. We even hear about the time Carlin briefed the U.S. president on the Sony Pictures hack.

Today, we have a double episode for you — two conversations from the Cerebral Valley AI Summit.Reid Hoffman was fresh off a meeting with President Joe Biden when Hoffman and I sat down on stage at the Cerebral Valley AI Summit Nov. 15. On stage, he told us that working to get Biden elected next year is one of his top priorities. Then, I sat down with the ever-feisty Vinod Khosla. The investor called for a TikTok ban and more welcoming immigration policies while warning against open-source artificial intelligence projects.Thousands of enterprises around the world rely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) to power applications that drive their businesses. OCI customers include leaders across industries, such as healthcare, scientific research, financial services, telecommunications, and more.NVIDIA DGX Cloud on OCI is an AI training-as-a-service platform for customers to train complex AI models like generative AI applications. Included with DGX Cloud, NVIDIA AI Enterprise brings the software layer of the NVIDIA AI platform to OCI.Talk with Oracle about accelerating your GPU workloads.Hoffman Plans to Go Big for BidenHoffman, fresh off a meeting with President Biden, kicked off the afternoon with a strong endorsement of the President's record. Hoffman praised Biden for his recent executive order on artificial intelligence. Reid called himself “a 95%-98% supporter” of the executive order, endorsing provisions on reporting and monitoring, “red team” testing, and voluntary commitments by companies that might eventually be enforced via the Defense Production Act. But he pushed back on the idea that the FTC should be monitoring the AI industry for anti-competitive conduct.“Startups are not being impeded right now,” he asserted, despite the apparent dominance of OpenAI and the mega-cap tech companies. Reid sits on the board of Microsoft, and offered that he was in fact “first money in” on OpenAI, through his personal foundation, but he's not concerned about, er, his own companies having too much power. “I don't think it constrains competition on any level.”Hoffman is always happy to engage on policy, and I asked him what he thought about Marc Andreessen's recent “techno-optimist” manifesto, which denigrates the very idea of government oversight. Reid said he was a techno-optimist too, and half-joked that Andreessen “quoted kind of liberally from things I've written and said” without any attribution. But Hoffman said that he's not on board with Andreessen's approach. “It's kind of dumb to think that when you have major technologies there can't be negative side effects,” he said, noting that all his AI projects have safety teams. “Tech can be amazing. Let's be intentional about building.”Khosla Wins Cheers from the Cerebral Valley AudienceVenture capitalist Vinod Khosla confirmed that his firm, boosted by an early stake in OpenAI, was about to close on $3 billion in commitments for a new fund. Valuations are high, he said, “but just because valuations are high doesn't mean it isn't a good time to invest.”He's not buying existential risk, calling it “nonsensical” talk from academics who had nothing better to do. But he's long on China risk, saying the U.S. is in a “techno-economic war” with China and needs to fight hard. “I would ban TikTok in a nano-second,” he said, unlike his predecessor on stage, Hoffman, who Khosla said he very much admired. Khosla is firmly against open-source AI models as well due to the China risk.Bio-risk and cyber risk are real concerns too, he noted.But if China or rogue viruses don't kill us, Khosla thinks the near-future is very bright: “I do think in 10 years we'll have free doctors, free tutors, free lawyers” all powered by AI. Khosla also gave a grudging endorsement of the Biden Executive Order, saying it was “okay.” But like most Silicon Valley moguls, he has no time for antitrust issues. “We have to get people like Khan out of there,” he said, referring to the chair of the FTC (though misstating her name), calling her “crazy, left-wing.” Khosla said he's long believed that AI would force us to “redefine what it is to me human.”Meantime he himself plans another 25 years of VC investing, and if all goes well, maybe more.

On Monday, Oct. 30, President Biden released a sweeping executive order that addresses many risks of artificial intelligence. Tom Wheeler, former chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, shares his insights on the order with Tristan and Aza and discusses what's next in the push toward AI regulation. Clarification: When quoting Thomas Jefferson, Aza incorrectly says “regime” instead of “regimen.” The correct quote is: “I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. And as that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered, and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regime of their barbarous ancestors.” RECOMMENDED MEDIA The AI Executive OrderPresident Biden's Executive Order on the safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AIUK AI Safety SummitThe summit brings together international governments, leading AI companies, civil society groups, and experts in research to consider the risks of AI and discuss how they can be mitigated through internationally coordinated actionaitreaty.orgAn open letter calling for an international AI treatyTechlash: Who Makes the Rules in the Digital Gilded Age?Praised by Kirkus Reviews as “a rock-solid plan for controlling the tech giants,” readers will be energized by Tom Wheeler's vision of digital governance RECOMMENDED YUA EPISODESInside the First AI Insight Forum in WashingtonDigital Democracy is Within Reach with Audrey TangThe AI DilemmaYour Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.

President Biden issued an executive order on Artificial Intelligence. How does the US government see AI today based on this executive order? What are the implications of Microsoft's breakthrough with their small AI model, Phi 1.5? And how social media influencers sharing news are starting to have more reach to a younger generation than legacy news outlets. What does it mean by President Biden's issue of an executive order on Artificial Intelligence? Eric Geller of The Messenger breaks down the President's executive order that was signed earlier this week. Reed Albergotti of Semafor stops by to talk about Microsoft and their recent breakthrough on their small AI model, Phi 1.5, and how it compares to OpenAI's GPT-4. How is legacy media keeping up with news being broken and shared by influencers? Jason shares a fascinating article from Taylor Lorenz about how the economics of journalism have shifted heavily in recent years. And finally, Mikah talks about how AI was used maliciously to generate fake nudes of real students at a New Jersey high school and the urgent need for laws to keep pace with technology.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: On the Executive Order, published by Zvi on November 1, 2023 on LessWrong. Or: I read the executive order and its fact sheet, so you don't have to. I spent Halloween reading the entire Biden Executive Order on AI . This is the pure 'what I saw reading the document' post. A companion post will cover reactions to this document, but I wanted this to be a clean reference going forward. Takeaway Summary: What Does This Do? It mostly demands a lot of reports, almost entirely from within the government. A lot of government employees will be writing a lot of reports. After they get those reports, others will then write additional reports. There will also be a lot of government meetings. These reports will propose paths forward to deal with a variety of AI issues. These reports indicate which agencies may get jurisdiction on various AI issues. Which reports are requested indicates what concerns are most prominent now. A major goal is to get AI experts into government, and get government in a place where it can implement the use of AI, and AI talent into the USA. Another major goal is ensuring the safety of cutting-edge foundation (or 'dual use') models, starting with knowing which ones are being trained and what safety precautions are being taken. Other ultimate goals include: Protecting vital infrastructure and cybersecurity, safeguarding privacy, preventing discrimination in many domains, protecting workers, guarding against misuse, guarding against fraud, ensuring identification of AI content, integrating AI into education and healthcare and promoting AI research and American global leadership. There are some tangible other actions, but they seem trivial with two exceptions: Changes to streamline the AI-related high skill immigration system. The closest thing to a restriction are actions to figure out safeguards for the physical supply chain for synthetic biology against use by bad actors, which seems clearly good. If you train a model with 10^26 flops, you must report that you are doing that, and what safety precautions you are taking, but can do what you want. If you have a data center capable of 10^20 integer operations per second, you must report that, but can do what you want with it. If you are selling IaaS to foreigners, you need to report that KYC-style. What are some things that might end up being regulatory requirements in the future, if we go in the directions these reports are likely to lead? Safety measures for training and deploying sufficiently large models. Restrictions on foreign access to compute or advanced models. Watermarks for AI outputs. Privacy enhancing technologies across the board. Protections against unwanted discrimination. Job protections of some sort, perhaps, although it is unclear how or what. Essentially that this is the prelude to potential government action in the future. Perhaps you do not like that for various reasons. There are certainly reasonable reasons. Or you could be worried in the other direction, that this does not do anything on its own, and that it might be confused for actually doing something and crowd out other action. No laws have yet been passed, no rules of substance put into place. One can of course be reasonably concerned about slippery slope or regulatory ratcheting arguments over the long term. I would love to see the energy brought to such concerns here, being applied to actual every other issue ever, where such dangers have indeed often taken place. I will almost always be there to support it. If you never want the government to do anything to regulate AI, or you want it to wait many years before doing so, and you are unconcerned about frontier models, the EO should make you sad versus no EO. If you do want the government to do things to regulate AI within the next few years, or if you are concerned about existen...
Welcome back to the Rethinking Trade podcast. Today we bring you the second half of our conversation with Suresh Venkatasubramanian. Suresh co-authored the Biden administration's Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, and is a leading national expert on AI oversight. With the imminent Biden Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence setting binding U.S. AI policy, there's never been a better time to get smart on this technology that impacts our lives. Today in part two, we dive deeper into the AI landscape and uncover a potential landmine: Big Tech's plans to rig trade agreements with "digital trade" rules that could derail AI accountability and oversight. (If you missed Part One of our special two-part series on AI, you can hear it here.)Lori Wallach and Daniel Rangel chat with Suresh Venkatasubramanian, who is now with Brown University after serving as Assistant Director for Science and Justice in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Daniel joins Lori in this discussion because he just authored an interesting that unpacks the specific ways AI accountability could be undermined if Big Tech interests get their way in trade negotiations. Daniel's report is super accessible, which is good because Big Tech's digital trade ploy is very sneaky. Please give Daniel's report a read after you listen to this two-part series!
In this week's episode of the People Places Planet podcast, Harvard Law Professor Cass Sunstein engages in an illuminating discussion with Vanderbilt Professor W. Kip Viscusi about the social cost of carbon—a hotly debated and frequently litigated number—that is used to quantify the harm caused by one ton of carbon emissions. They are joined by ELI Senior Attorney Linda K. Breggin and Vanderbilt Law student Kyle Blasinsky. This important number is used in developing a range of regulations and soon will be used in federal budgeting and purchasing decisions, as well as National Environmental Policy Act reviews, under a new Biden Executive Order. Professor Sunstein, an Obama Administration Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Administrator, discusses the key judgement calls that must be made in developing the social cost of carbon, such as the appropriate discount rate and approaches to incorporating equity, and offers his views on developing a number that can withstand arbitrariness review in any renewed effort to challenge the number in court. Professor Sunstein's related article Arbitrariness Review and Climate Change was selected for inclusion in this year's Environmental Law and Policy Annual Review, which recognizes scholarship that presents creative and feasible legal and policy solutions to pressing environmental problems. ELPAR is published annually by the ELI's Environmental Law Reporter in collaboration with the Vanderbilt University Law School. ★ Support this podcast ★
Phil Kerpen joins Dawn to breakdown his latest piece criticizing the Biden administration and their irrational focus on E.V.s as issues around the plan begin to emerge when you peel back the layers... Phil Kerpen is an American free-market policy analyst and political organizer. He is the president of American Commitment, a conservative 501 organization which he founded in 2012. He previously served for over five years as the vice president of Americans for Prosperity. Phil Kerpen: “The Biden administration's infatuation with electric vehicles is no secret, with billions in subsidies lavished on them in the so-called Inflation Reduction Act and now direct bribes to vehicle manufacturers to shift their production. But the president's so-called “transition” is not being driven only by massive subsidies, but by draconian mandates that will make gasoline-powered vehicles difficult to find and exorbitantly priced far sooner than most Americans expect….Biden's goal is laid out plainly on the Green New Deal page of JoeBiden.com, which commits to “developing rigorous new fuel economy standards aimed at ensuring 100% of new sales for light- and medium-duty vehicles will be electrified” and was formalized in Biden Executive Order 14037, which sets “a goal that 50 percent of all new passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030 be zero-emission vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell electric vehicles.”….This policy is contrary to law. Specifically, 49 U.S.C. § 32902(h)(1), which states NHTSA “may not consider the fuel economy of dedicated automobiles,” defined as “an automobile that operates only on alternative fuel.” This is precisely what the Biden rules do.” Tune in 10 AM - 12 PM EST weekdays on Talk Radio 1210 WPHT; or on the Audacy app!
A competitive GOP presidential primary field is a good thing for Republican voters. The same New York Times that cheers every Biden Executive Order, fears Trump will expand the power of the Executive Branch in a 2nd term.
We are entering the 4th Industrial revolution – that's what the World Economic Forum is telling us. And, the target is you, humanity. The transhumanism push aims to merge humanity with artificial intelligence. Jefferey Jaxen breaks down the latest Executive Order signed by President Joe Biden to develop artificial intelligence that will ‘unlock the power of biological data,' signaling a conceding alignment with the WEF's agenda.
