Jerome Clayton Glenn | Transition from Artificial Narrow to Artificial General Intelligence Governance. | 2023-11-01 | CACOR Zoom
November 1, 2023 @ 13:30 - 16:00 EDT
Speaker: Jerome Clayton Glenn
Topic: Transition from Artificial Narrow to Artificial General Intelligence Governance.
Time: Nov 01, 2023 13:30 Eastern Time (US and Canada)
Summary:
The Millennium Project has completed the first phase of an international assessment of how to govern the potential transition from Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) to potential Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The research was financially supported by the Dubai Future Foundation and the Future of Life Institute. Phase 1 collected the views of 55 AGI leaders in the US, China, UK, the European Union, Canada, and Russia to the following questions (the list of leaders follows the questions). Each of these questions could be the subject of an entire book. You can augment your short answers by a weblink for further detail.
Origin or Self-Emergence
- How do you envision the possible trajectories ahead, from today’s AI, to much more capable AGI in the future?
- What are the most important serious outcomes if these trajectories are not governed, or are governed badly?
- What are some key initial conditions for AGI so that an artificial super intelligence does not emerge later that is not to humanity’s liking?
Value alignment, morality, values
- Drawing on the work of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) and others that have already identified norms, principles, and values, what additional or unique values should be considered for AGI?
- If a hierarchy of values becomes necessary for international treaties and a governance system, what should be the top priorities?
- How can alignment be achieved? If you think it is not possible, then what is the best way to manage this situation?
Biography:
Jerome Clayton Glenn as Director of the Millennium Project consults governments, organizations, and corporations about his forecasting methodology and on other issues. He was a founding partner of Future Options Room (FOR) in 1975 with Roy Mason and Scott Dankman Joy. Glenn helped to craft the section of the SALT II treaty (1979) that prohibited the USSR from deploying its Fractional Orbital Bombardment System. In 1983 he created CARINET, a computer network that CGNET Services International later acquired, and through CARINET he introduced data packet switching to numerous countries in the developing world. In 1996 Glenn and Theodore J. Gordon wrote a report in cooperation with the Smithsonian Institution and the Futures Group (rebranded as Palladium International) about the feasibility of establishing a futures think tank; later that year he co-founded the Millennium Project, an organization that evaluates 15 global challenges to the future of humanity He authors an annual publication, State of the Future, on behalf of the Millennium Project, and in the book he uses a compilation of various methodologies in order to ensure effective forecasting. Glenn is member USA COR.
