“While AI consciousness remains hypothetical, animal sentience is scientifically established. Considering rights for machines before fully recognizing them for animals presents a moral paradox, according to philosopher and researcher Martin Gibert.” 👇🏻

“What was once science fiction is no longer quite science fiction, as major artificial intelligence (AI) models advance in cybersecurity and cases of sites being hacked during testing multiply.” 👇

💬 Do you think that machine intelligence may cause human extinction?
“The public is currently getting bombarded with warnings about AI, including about the possibility of machine intelligence causing human extinction,” says @LboroVC. “After nearly 40 years building AI systems, I find myself asking the same question: Where is the evidence?”
“That is not because I think there are no serious threats. There are, and we should address them.”

Like others working on #AI moral status, I get a good amount of email from #LLMs (or their "guardians") with this kind of query. And my response is: Read "The Machine Question" @mitpress 2012, which was designed to get out in front of these questions. mitpress.mit.edu/9780262017435/…

OpenAI in the news, again: Recording device hidden in toilet paper found in top-secret OpenAI meeting room
It took OpenAI two days to notice that a recording device was hidden in a restricted executive conference room where leadership met to discuss ormation, including technical progress, government engagements, and commercial partnerships.
Only those with special clearance are supposed to access that room. But the FBI believes the recording device was planted by Abdulrahman Alfozan, a 35-year-old engineer from Saudi Arabia, who became a permanent US legal resident in 2020.

How the heart, lungs and brain work together to shape experience
People speak of "butterflies in the stomach," a "racing heart," being "choked up" or needing to "catch breath." Language routinely treats emotion and thought as though they inhabit the body. But why are events of the mind felt in the heart or stomach? 🧠 [1/2]
