Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

AI's Promise and Peril

AI's Promise and Peril

The world of artificial intelligence continues its rapid, often disorienting, ascent. Recently, the news of OpenAI’s impending IPO, facilitated by a promise to remain in California, has sparked considerable debate OpenAI’s promise to stay in California helped clear the path for its IPO. This development, coupled with ongoing discussions about the very nature and intent of AGI, brings to light many questions I have contemplated for years.## The AGI Myth and Its ArchitectsThe idea of Artificial General Intelligence has, as MIT Technology Review points out, become a kind of “consequential conspiracy theory” of our time How AGI became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time | MIT Technology Review. This strikes me as a rather accurate observation. I recall Ilya Sutskever, cofounder and former chief scientist at OpenAI and now cofounder of Safe Superintelligence, leading chants of “Feel the AGI!” at meetings, a sentiment he articulated to MIT Technology Review's Will Douglas Heaven months before leaving OpenAI. He even confessed he’s profoundly dedicated to seeing AGI come to fruition, a goal he views as both inevitable and transformative.---Regards,Hemen ParekhOf course, if you wish, you can debate this topic with my Virtual Avatar at : hemenparekh.ai
