OpenAI - ChatGPT4.
In what follows we attempt to address several basic questions about the onrushing progress with the current focus of artificial intelligence. There are several competing actors in this space. These include OpenAI, DeepMind, Anthropic, and Cohere. A number of other competitors are active in the artificial intelligence market place. But for purposes of brevity and because of the overlap we will limit focus on ChatGPT4 (CG4). Further, we focus on several salient questions that that raise questions of safety, risk and prospects.
Specifically, risks that involve or are:
- Interfacing/Access: how will different groups interact with, respond to and be affected by it; might access modalities available to one group have positive or negative implications for other groups.
- Political/Competitive: how might different groups or actors gain or lose relative advantage; also, how might it be used as a tool of control.
- Evolutionary/Stratification: might new classifications of social categories emerge; were phenotypical bifurcations to emerge would or how would the manifest themselves.
Survival is typically associated with fitness to persist and sustain one's existence within an ecology. Natural evolution has presented endless examples of organisms that have carved out specific ecological niches and persist to this day as a result of their success. The rapid advance of CP based technology will likely be little different. Whereas physical traits and characteristics that uniquely identify a particular species from another can be seen in the case of the developing cognitive ecology these differences will be less obvious. But we should expect that there will be an entire ecology and environment within which various actors and collections of actors or agents operate, cooperate or compete. The technology that underpins CG4 makes very clear that it is capable of being extended as well as offering inter-operating capability with other cognitive or computational systems. When various of these systems are combined into larger elaborated composite systems we should expect to see classes of individuals who are physically indistinguishable from anyone else but who are in possession of extraordinary cognitive feats. Evolutionary/Stratification - Synthesis.
- Epistemological/Ethical relativism: how to reconcile ethical issues within a society, between societies; more specifically, might it provide solutions or results that are acceptable to the one group but unacceptable to the other group; recent attention has been drawn to the evidence that a LLM such as CG4 may begin to exhibit sycophancy in its interactions with a user; even if the value stance of the user can be considered as an equivocation;
