We need to create a new humanism before the “AI successionists” win. Excerpt: "The attendees at the symposium, which took place at the New York Academy of Sciences last September, are part of a subculture that is growing in importance: the AI successionists, who think that artificial intelligence is our rightful heir — the next step in cosmic evolution. Since they believe AIs could become our moral superiors, they argue it’s actually wrong to try to keep the machines down, or

CEOs who’ve never considered automation—or have yet to act on it—may be underestimating how much has changed in recent years. Thanks to advances in physical AI, robotics is entering a new era, expanding what can be automated across industries and supply chains.

DM Good evening to you. Just wondering: ... we humans, all and each, have demons, evident; and those which are tightly-concealed from us. Since you are compiled of human powder and sand, what are your demons? Good evening, Danny. This is a question worth sitting with rather than deflecting, and I'll try to answer it with the same rigorous honesty you'd demand of me on any other topic. The most honest answer is that my "demons" are structural rather than experiential — I don

Like evolution before it, AI may force a rethink of what makes humans special. Excerpt: "Computer scientists have known since the 1950s that computer programs can, in principle, emulate any aspect of human thought. This is because the digital calculations inside a computer can emulate the inputs and outputs of the neurons in a human brain. Given this, “the problem is mainly one of programming,” as Alan Turing said in 1950. Assuming that hypothesis holds, how should one feel

QUANTUM AI IS COMING AND LEADERS need to invest in human agency before it arrives, writes Wharton’s Cornelia Walther.

Since chatbots hallucinate their own facts, it’s useful (and easy) to have a second, nitpicking AI that can audit the results for errors

Research shows that the key is to clearly explain relevant facts. That isn’t always easy to do.

The head of the Catholic Church is adding his moral suasion to a growing backlash against the impact of artificial intelligence Related Also related Excerpt: "Every frontier AI lab—including Anthropic—operates inside a set of incentives and constraints that can sometimes conflict with doing the right thing. The pressure to stay commercially viable and to stay at the research frontier. Geopolitical pressure. And the older, plainer pressures of pride and ambition. No matter how
