AI Monthly Rundown September 2023: The Future of LLMs in Search!https://youtu.be/9hmWPza7dQEExplore the latest developments in the AI world for September 2023. We delve into the burning question: Are Large Language Models (LLMs) poised to replace traditional search engines? Dive into this comprehensive rundown and discover the evolution and future of search in the age of AI.In today's episode, we'll cover the evolution of search and large language models, Amazon's investment in Anthropic and generative AI updates, Google's advancements in personalized route suggestions and language modeling, DeepMind's AlphaMissense system for predicting genetic diseases, OpenAI's DALL·E 3 and the addition of voice and image capabilities to ChatGPT, Getty Images' Generative AI art tool, Vectara's Boomerang LLM, important AI contributions from Google and Apple, and the surge in hiring for Generative AI talent.LLMs, or Large Language Models, have undoubtedly made a significant impact on the way we search for information. However, it's unlikely that they will completely replace traditional search engines. Instead, I believe that LLMs and search engines will evolve and blend together to offer users the best of both worlds. Search engines have been around for over 29 years and have become incredibly proficient at providing fresh, relevant, and comprehensive results. This level of expertise is the result of years of industrial research. On the other hand, LLMs, with their phenomenal language understanding and generation capabilities, offer a new dimension to information retrieval. However, they sometimes lack verifiability, attributions, and relevancy. In my view, we can expect the rise of Language Search Models (LSMs), where the strengths of both LLMs and traditional search engines will be combined. This hybrid approach will leverage the comprehensiveness and freshness of search engines while harnessing LLMs' advanced language processing abilities.Are you eager to expand your understanding of artificial intelligence?

TODAY'S GUEST Jay McClelland is a Computational Cognitive Neuroscientist and one of the founding fathers of the field of neural networks and deep learning in the 1980s, which led directly to today's explosion in AI and machine learning algorithms that are transforming our lives. He is the Lucie Stern Professor at Stanford University, where he was formerly the chair of the psychology department, and is currently a Consulting Research Scientist at DeepMind, perhaps the leader in machine learning technologies today. Jay is best known for his work on statistical learning and parallel distributed processing, applying connectionist models (or neural networks) to explain cognitive phenomena such as spoken word recognition and visual word recognition. Today, he works on integrating language, memory, and visuospatial cognition in an integrated understanding system to capture human intelligence and enhance artificial intelligence, exploring how education and human-invented tools of thought can enhance human and machine intelligence. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: Lessons from his youth, where he moved around the world as a child and interacted with different religions and backgrounds, which helped him understand that we are shaped by our contexts and experiences. His entry into cognitive psychology, and going beyond the laws of behavior into: Why do people behave the way they do? Building neural networks to model cognition. His world-changing PDP paper (Parallel Distributed Processing: Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition), a paper that was published in 1986 and transformed this whole field, and directly led to more and more people embracing the connectionist model and neural networks. The fact and meaning of bi-directionality in neural networks. What does it mean that information can flow both ways in the same network structure? Generative models, and in this context, OpenAI's DALL-E 2 algorithm, which can create amazing illustrations and artworks — and should we credit generative or creative algorithms with artistry and give them credit for their art? Consciousness — does it extend beyond humans and is it something that we may be able to find someday in algorithms? Talking to Jay really reminded me of the best in mankind, that through curiosity, asking interesting questions, and constructing thought models and experiments, we can unlock such a subtle and fundamental thing like cognition and the connectionist model, which then unlocks all of this power for society at large. We now have this responsibility to reign in the worst of mankind in how we exploit, curate, and share in the benefits of this incredible power. This will be a running topic for us, AI in the future. We explore the power of design and human-centered thinking to create a better future for everyone. This conversation with Jay is one of many weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with leading authors, thinkers, designers, makers, scientists, and social entrepreneurs who are working to change our world for the better.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) are so hot right now, so we sat down to find out what the big fuss is all about and what it really means for our little world of mountain biking. Consider this a piece of performance art, as we use OpenAI's ChatGPT not only to generate a short intro for our podcast, but also to answer and discuss some of the more relevant questions we like to ponder in conversations with our guests. How do you get into the sport? What are the best places to ride? How could we use the technology to improve mountain biking? Can you make it more awesome for everyone? And of course we had to ask one of our signature close-out questions and find out what it knows about a great skid! We had a lot of fun playing with the software and hope you also enjoy this chat with ChatGPT!

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: Exploring Metaculus' community predictions, published by Vasco Grilo on March 24, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary I really like Metaculus! I have collected and analysed in this Sheet metrics about Metaculus' questions outside of question groups, and their Metaculus' community predictions (see tab “TOC”). The Colab to extract the data and calculate the metrics is here. The mean metrics vary a lot across categories, and the same is seemingly true for correlations among metrics. So one should not assume the performance across all questions is representative of that within each of Metaculus' categories. To illustrate: Across categories, the 5th and 95th percentiles of the mean normalised outcome are 0 and 0.784, and of the mean Brier score are 0.0369 and 0.450. For context, the Brier score is 0.25 (= 0.5^2) for the maximally uncertain probability of 0.5. According to Metaculus' track record page, the mean Brier score for Metaculus' community predictions evaluated at all times is 0.126 for all questions, but 0.237 for those about artificial intelligence. So Metaculus' community predictions about probabilities look good in general, but they perform close to random predictions for artificial intelligence. There can be significant differences between Metaculus community predictions and Metaculus' predictions. For instance, the mean Brier score of the latter for artificial intelligence is 0.168, which is way more accurate than the 0.237 of the former. According to my results, Metaculus' community predictions are: In general (i.e. considering all questions), less accurate for questions: Whose predictions are more extreme under Bayesian updating (correlation coefficient R = 0.346, and p-value p = 0). With a greater amount of updating (R = 0.262, and p = 0). With a greater difference between amount of updating and uncertainty reduction (R = 0.256, and p = 0). For the category of artificial intelligence, less accurate for questions with: Greater difference between amount of updating and uncertainty reduction (R = 0.361, and p = 0.0387). More predictions (R = 0.316, and p = 0.0729). A greater amount of updating (R = 0.282, and p = 0.111). Compatible with Bayesian updating in general, in the sense I failed to reject it during the 2nd half of the period during which each question was or has been open (mean p-value of 0.425). If you want to know how much to trust a given prediction from Metaculus, I think it is sensible to check Metaculus' track record for similar past questions (more here). Acknowledgements Thanks to Charles Dillon, Misha Yagudin from Arb Research, and Peter Mühlbacher and Ryan Beck from Metaculus. Dark crystall ball in a bright foggy galaxy. Generated by OpenAI's DALL-E. Introduction I really like Metaculus! Methods I believe it would be important to better understand how much to trust Metaculus' predictions. To that end, I have determined in this Sheet (see tab “TOC”) metrics about all Metaculus' questions outside of question groups with an ID from 1 to 15000 on 13 March 2023, and their Metaculus' community predictions. The metrics for each question are: Tags, which identify the Metaculus' category. Publish time (year). Close time (year). Resolve time (year). Time from publish to close (year). Time from close to resolve (year). Time from publish to resolve (year). Number of forecasters. Number of predictions. Number of analysed dates, which is the number of instances at which the predictions were assessed. Total belief movement, which is a measure of the amount of updating, and is the sum of the belief movements, which are the squared differences between 2 consecutive beliefs. The values of the beliefs range from 0 to 1, and can respect a: Probability. Ratio between an expectation and difference between the maximum and minimum allowed by Metaculus. T...

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: Sentience Institute 2022 End of Year Summary, published by MichaelDello on November 25, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Sentience Institute is a 501(c)3 nonprofit think tank aiming to maximize positive impact through longtermist research on social and technological change, particularly moral circle expansion. Our main focus in 2022 has been conducting high-quality empirical research, primarily surveys and behavioral experiments, to build the field of digital minds research (e.g., How will humans react to AI that seems agentic and intentional? How will we know when an AI is sentient?). Our two most notable publications this year are a report and open-access data for our 2021 Artificial Intelligence, Morality, and Sentience (AIMS) survey and our paper in Computers in Human Behavior on “Predicting the Moral Consideration of Artificial Intelligences,” and we have substantial room for more funding to continue and expand this work in 2023 and beyond. AIMS is the first nationally representative longitudinal survey of attitudes on these topics. Even today with limited AI capabilities, we are already seeing the social relationship we have with these digital minds bearing on public discourse, funding, and other events in the trajectory of AI. The CiHB predictors paper is a deep dive into demographic and psychological predictors of AI attitudes, so we can understand why certain people view these topics in the way that they do. This follows up on our 2021 conceptual paper in Futures and literature review in Science and Engineering Ethics. We have also been working to build this new field through hosting a podcast, an AI summit at the University of Chicago, and a regular intergroup call between organizations working on this topic (e.g., Center on Long-Term Risk, Future of Humanity Institute). The urgency of building this field has been underscored this year in two ways in 2022. First, AIs are rapidly becoming more advanced, as illustrated in the amazing performance of image generation models — OpenAI's DALL-E 2, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion — as well as DeepMind's Gato as a general-purpose transformer and high-performing language models Chinchilla and Google's PaLM. Second, the topic of AI sentience had one of its first spikes in the mainstream news cycle, first as OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever tweeted “it may be that today's large neural networks are slightly conscious” in February, and then a much larger spike as Google Engineer Blake Lemoine was fired after claiming their language model LaMDA is “sentient.” In 2023, we hope to continue our empirical research as well as develop these findings into a digital minds “cause profile,” making the case for it as a highly neglected, tractable cause area in effective altruism with an extremely large scale. The perceptions, nature, and effects of digital minds are quickly becoming an important part of the trajectory of advanced AI systems and seem like they will continue to be so in medium- and long-term futures. This cause profile would be in part a more rigorous version of our blog post, “The Importance of Artificial Sentience.” 2022 has been a challenging year for effective altruism funding. There was already an economic downturn when this month's collapse of FTX, one of the two largest EA funders, left many EA organizations like us scrambling for funding and many other funders stretched thin. We expect substantially less funding in the coming months, and we need your help to continue work in this time-sensitive area, perhaps more than any other year since we were founded in 2017. We hope to raise $90,000 this giving season for our work on digital minds, such as surveys, experimental research, the cause profile, and other field-building projects. We will also continue some work on factory farming thanks to ge...
Are we entering the primetime era for venture capital investments into Artificial Intelligence or AI startups? It at least seems that way, as things have cooled off with Web 3 and crypto. There is a ton of momentum in this space with lots of use cases including Jasper, an AI copywriting and content platform that recently announced $125M in funding. Or, it will be interesting to see what companies are funded that are built on top of tech like OpenAI's DALL·E 2. Arthur is looking to ride this wave but they are taking a very smart approach an infrastructure play with its machine learning observability platform. A great analogy for this sector is what network monitoring software does for the netwrk, which detects outages, issues, and vulnerabilities… Arthur is looking to do the same for AI models. The company recently announced a $42M Series B round of funding co-led by Acrew Capital and Greycroft Ventures. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * The pulse of innovation and entrepreneurship at two under-recognized institutions - University of Maryland and Carnegie Mellon. * John's career prior to starting Arthur including a deep dive into his research, experience as an advisor, and his path to becoming a tenured professor. * All the details about Arthur and its platform, plus how the company is making AI more transparent and equitable. * Advice for academics who are thinking of taking on a leadership role at a startup. * And so much more.

Anne Spalter is a world-renowned artist with artwork in museums, galleries, and collections throughout the globe. She is known for having created the curriculum for the first university-level digital art programs. That work was for the Rhode Island School of Design and Brown University in the 1990s. More recently, Anne has emerged as a pioneer in creating fine art using AI-based text-to-image generators. She launched a collection of 501 pieces earlier this year called AI spaceships, which she made into NFTs, and they sold out in an hour. That collaboration was with Night Cafe. Since then, she has launched a new art show which includes a variety of artwork using OpenAI's DALL-E and Midjourney, which are other prominent text-to-image generators. Anne offers a perspective on the rise of synthetic media and how it is being received and used in the art world. She also shares some pro tips on how to use the new tools. This interview was conducted at the Synthedia synthetic media conference hosted by Voicebot in September.

TODAY'S GUEST Jay McClelland is a Computational Cognitive Neuroscientist and one of the founding fathers of the field of neural networks and deep learning in the 1980s, which led directly to today's explosion in AI and machine learning algorithms that are transforming our lives. He is the Lucie Stern Professor at Stanford University, where he was formerly the chair of the psychology department, and is currently a Consulting Research Scientist at DeepMind, perhaps the leader in machine learning technologies today. Jay is best known for his work on statistical learning and parallel distributed processing, applying connectionist models (or neural networks) to explain cognitive phenomena such as spoken word recognition and visual word recognition. Today, he works on integrating language, memory, and visuospatial cognition in an integrated understanding system to capture human intelligence and enhance artificial intelligence, exploring how education and human-invented tools of thought can enhance human and machine intelligence. EPISODE SUMMARY In this conversation we talk about: Lessons from his youth, where he moved around the world as a child and interacted with different religions and backgrounds, which helped him understand that we are shaped by our contexts and experiences. His entry into cognitive psychology, and going beyond the laws of behavior into: Why do people behave the way they do? Building neural networks to model cognition. His world-changing PDP paper (Parallel Distributed Processing: Explorations in the Microstructure of Cognition), a paper that was published in 1986 and transformed this whole field, and directly led to more and more people embracing the connectionist model and neural networks. The fact and meaning of bi-directionality in neural networks. What does it mean that information can flow both ways in the same network structure? Generative models, and in this context, OpenAI's DALL-E 2 algorithm, which can create amazing illustrations and artworks — and should we credit generative or creative algorithms with artistry and give them credit for their art? Consciousness — does it extend beyond humans and is it something that we may be able to find someday in algorithms? Talking to Jay really reminded me of the best in mankind, that through curiosity, asking interesting questions, and constructing thought models and experiments, we can unlock such a subtle and fundamental thing like cognition and the connectionist model, which then unlocks all of this power for society at large. We now have this responsibility to reign in the worst of mankind in how we exploit, curate, and share in the benefits of this incredible power. This will be a running topic for us, AI in the future. We explore the power of design and human-centered thinking to create a better future for everyone. This conversation with Jay is one of many weekly conversations we already have lined up for you with leading authors, thinkers, designers, makers, scientists, and social entrepreneurs who are working to change our world for the better.

On January 1, 2015, physicist Max Tegmark gave up something most of us love to do: complain about things without ever trying to fix them. That "put up or shut up" New Year's resolution led to the first Puerto Rico conference and Open Letter on Artificial Intelligence - milestones for researchers taking the safe development of highly-capable AI systems seriously. Links to learn more, summary and full transcript. Max's primary work has been cosmology research at MIT, but his energetic and freewheeling nature has led him into so many other projects that you would be forgiven for forgetting it. In the 2010s he wrote two best-selling books, Our Mathematical Universe: My Quest for the Ultimate Nature of Reality, and Life 3.0: Being Human in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, and in 2014 founded a non-profit, the Future of Life Institute, which works to reduce all sorts of threats to humanity's future including nuclear war, synthetic biology, and AI. Max has complained about many other things over the years, from killer robots to the impact of social media algorithms on the news we consume. True to his 'put up or shut up' resolution, he and his team went on to produce a video on so-called 'Slaughterbots' which attracted millions of views, and develop a website called 'Improve The News' to help readers separate facts from spin. But given the stunning recent advances in capabilities - from OpenAI's DALL-E to DeepMind's Gato - AI itself remains top of his mind. You can now give an AI system like GPT-3 the text: "I'm going to go to this mountain with the faces on it. What is the capital of the state to the east of the state that that's in?" And it gives the correct answer (Saint Paul, Minnesota) - something most AI researchers would have said was impossible without fundamental breakthroughs just seven years ago. So back at MIT, he now leads a research group dedicated to what he calls "intelligible intelligence." At the moment, AI systems are basically giant black boxes that magically do wildly impressive things. But for us to trust these systems, we need to understand them. He says that training a black box that does something smart needs to just be stage one in a bigger process. Stage two is: "How do we get the knowledge out and put it in a safer system?" Today's conversation starts off giving a broad overview of the key questions about artificial intelligence: What's the potential? What are the threats? How might this story play out? What should we be doing to prepare? Rob and Max then move on to recent advances in capabilities and alignment, the mood we should have, and possible ways we might misunderstand the problem. They then spend roughly the last third talking about Max's current big passion: improving the news we consume - where Rob has a few reservations. They also cover: * Whether we could understand what superintelligent systems were doing * The value of encouraging people to think about the positive future they want * How to give machines goals * Whether 'Big Tech' is followin

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: Law-Following AI 1: Sequence Introduction and Structure, published by Cullen OKeefe on April 27, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. This post is written in my personal capacity, and does not necessarily represent the views of OpenAI or any other organization. Cross-posted to the Effective Altruism Forum. This sequence of posts will argue that working to ensure that AI systems follow laws is a worthwhile way to improve the long-term future of AI.[1] The structure of this sequence will be as follows: First, in this post, I will define some key terms and sketch what an ideal law-following AI ("LFAI") system might look like. In the next few posts, I will explain why law-following might not emerge by default given the existing constellation of alignment approaches, financial objectives, and legal constraints, and explain why this is troubling. Finally, I will propose some policy and technical routes to ameliorating these problems. If the vision here excites you, and you would like to get funding to work on it, get in touch. I may be excited to recommend grants for people working on this, as long as it does not distract them from working on more important alignment issues. Image by OpenAI's DALL·E. Key Definitions A law-following AI , or LFAI , is an AI system that is designed to rigorously comply with some defined set of human-originating rules ("laws"),[2] using legal interpretative techniques,[3] under the assumption that those laws apply to the AI in the same way that they would to a human. By "intrinsically motivated," I mean that the AI is motivated to obey those rules regardless of whether (a) its human principal wants it to obey the law,[4] or (b) disobeying the law would be instrumentally valuable.[5] (The Appendix to this post explores some possible conceptual issues with this definition of LFAI.) I will compare LFAI with intent-aligned AI. The standard definition of "intent alignment" generally concerns only the relationship between some property of a human principal H and the actions of the human's AI agent A: Jan Leike et al. define the "agent alignment problem" as "How can we create agents that behave in accordance with the user's intentions?" Amanda Askell et al. define "alignment" as "the degree of overlap between the way two agents rank different outcomes." Paul Christiano defines "AI alignment" as "A is trying to do what H wants it to do." Richard Ngo endorses Christiano's definition. Iason Gabriel does not directly define "intent alignment," but provides a taxonomy wherein an AI agent can be aligned with: "Instructions: the agent does what I instruct it to do." "Expressed intentions: the agent does what I intend it to do." "Revealed preferences: the agent does what my behaviour reveals I prefer." "Informed preferences or desires: the agent does what I would want it to do if I were rational and informed." "Interest or well-being: the agent does what is in my interest, or what is best for me, objectively speaking." "Values: the agent does what it morally ought to do, as defined by the individual or society." All but (6) concern the relationship between H and A. It would therefore seem appropriate to describe them as types of intent alignment. Alignment with some broader or more complete set of values—such as type (6) in Gabriel's taxonomy, Coherent Extrapolated Volition, or what Ngo calls "maximalist" or "ambitious" alignment—is perhaps desirable or even necessary, but seems harder than working on intent alignment.[6] Much current alignment work therefore focuses on intent alignment. We can see that, on its face, intent alignment does not entail law-following. A key crux of this sequence, to be defended in subsequent posts, is that this gap between intent alignment and law-following is: Bad in expectation for the long-term future. Easier to bridge than the ga...
