If the individuals who are at the very forefront of artificial intelligence technology are commenting about the potential catastrophic effects of highly intelligent AI systems, then it’s probably wise to sit up and take notice. Just a couple of months ago, Geoffrey Hinton, a man considered as one of the “godfathers” of AI for his pioneering work in the field, said that the technology’s rapid pace of development meant that it was “not inconceivable” that superintelligent AI — considered as being superior to the human…

AI pioneer Yann LeCun. Jérémy Barande/Wikimedia Commons AI pioneer Yann LeCun has described talk of artificial intelligence (AI) posing an existential threat to humanity as “preposterously ridiculous.” Speaking to the BBC this week at an AI-focused event held in Paris by Meta, where he now works as the company’s chief AI scientist, Professor LeCun said: “Will AI take over the world? No, this is a projection of human nature on machines.” LeCun’s comments are in stark contrast to those made by Geoffrey Hinton and…

Artificial General Intelligence, or AGI, is considered by some to be the end goal of artificial intelligence (AI) development. Instead of having an AI that can perform specific tasks, an AGI would be able to perform any task you set it, and with enough time and computational power, do it well. Some see ChatGPT as the first example of AGI, while others consider us at least a few years away from an AI that can do anything. Really, it’s more of a debate about how exactly we define AGI, and how to know when we get there.…

GPT-5 is the expected next major LLM (Large Language Model) as released by OpenAI. Given the massive success of ChatGPT, OpenAI is continuing the progress of development on future models powering its AI chatbot. GPT-5 aims to be a major improvement over GPT-4, and even though very little is known about it. Here’s everything that’s been rumored so far. Release date OpenAI has continued a rapid rate of progress on its LLMs. GPT-4 debuted on March 14, 2023, which came just four months after GPT-3.5 launched…

The first open-source AI chatbot in the vein of ChatGPT has arrived, and it’s come at a particularly helpful time. ColossalChat is a powerful alternative that uses an RHLF pipeline similar to OpenAI’s GPT-4 model that powers ChatGPT, and it’s available for immediate use. ChatGPT, of course, remains the premier AI chatbot and keeps plenty busy. But I just tried to log in now and found it was at capacity and, therefore, unavailable. This is a common problem with the service. ColossalChat, on the other hand, is wide…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been moving at an unbelievable speed in recent months, with the launch of various tools and bots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google Bard, and more. Yet this rapid development is causing serious concern among seasoned veterans in the AI field — so much so that over 1,000 of them have signed an open letter calling on AI developers to slam on the brakes. The letter was published on the website of the Future of Life Institute, an organization whose stated mission is “steering transformative…

GPT-4 may have only just launched, but people are already talking about the next version of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot technology. Now, a new claim has been made that GPT-5 will complete its training this year, and could bring a major AI revolution with it. The assertion comes from developer Siqi Chen on Twitter, who stated: “I have been told that GPT-5 is scheduled to complete training this December and that OpenAI expects it to achieve AGI.” i have been told that gpt5 is scheduled to…
