Charlie McHenry<p>Recently experts from physicist Sabine Hossenfelder to AI guru Mustafa Suleyman have started referring to the emergence of <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/ArtificialIntelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialIntelligence</span></a> as ‘birthing a new species’, one that at some point will have intelligence exceeding that of its human inventors. This is projected by those in the know to happen within a decade. So soon. When it does, it will forever alter the pecking order of species on the planet and humans will no longer occupy the top spot. Ask yourself, are we ready, truly ready for that? As a user of <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> I am mindful that this technology requires vigorous oversight and prudent regulation - to protect us all from the many potential negatives ahead. I’m not seeing that happen, quite the opposite - as the race to <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/AGI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AGI</span></a> and <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/SelfImprovingAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfImprovingAI</span></a> speeds up while oversight lags. Expect the worst if we don’t get guardrails soon. <a href="https://connectop.us/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a></p>
