(No meeting Sunday, December 28. Merry Yuletide!)<\/p>\n

Join our friend Michael Abramson next week, either in person or online.<\/p>\n

The focus of this discussion will be on General Artificial Super-Intelligence (GASI) coming next after Generative AI (GenAI, such as ChatGPT) based on Large Language Models (LLMs). We’ll try to look behind the facade of sensationalist claims, fancy images, and videos to understand what is technically possible, what to expect, what the risks are, and what we could\/should do about all this.<\/p>\n

Here is a link to the slides: AI beyond ChatGPT<\/b><\/a>. It’s perfectly fine if you review them before our discussion. These slides will likely become obsolete in a few months if not sooner, but they could provide initial pointers for your own research.<\/p>\n
