with New Research: Advanced AI may tend to seek power *by default*
<p>Progress in AI has been accelerating dramatically in recent years, and even months. It seems like every other day, there’s a new, previously-believed-to-be-impossible feat of AI that’s achieved by a world-leading lab. And increasingly, these breakthroughs have been driven by the same, simple idea

<p>Today, we live in the era of AI scaling. It seems like everywhere you look people are pushing to make large language models larger, or more multi-modal and leveraging ungodly amounts of processing power to do it.</p> <p>But although that’s one of the defining trends of the modern AI era, it’s not
126. JR King - Does the brain run on deep learning?
with Does the brain run on deep learning?
<p>Deep learning models — transformers in particular — are defining the cutting edge of AI today. They’re based on an architecture called an artificial neural network, as you probably already know if you’re a regular Towards Data Science reader. And if you are, then you might also already know that
125. Ryan Fedasiuk - Can the U.S. and China collaborate on AI safety?
with Can the U.S. and China collaborate on AI safety?
<p>It’s no secret that the US and China are geopolitical rivals. And it’s also no secret that that rivalry extends into AI — an area both countries consider to be strategically critical.</p> <p>But in a context where potentially transformative AI capabilities are being unlocked <a href="http://aitra
