The examples only do research, not actions… so not more that Gemini’s deep research option? Or am I wrong? surely an AI Agent should be capable of buying the insurance package, not just researching it? Or of publishing the book, not just writing it? Did I miss it? Don’t get me wrong… EVERYTHING is impressive at the moment, but is itt really an AI agent?

Let me know when we can get to try it! I think it will be necessary to treat Ai agents like untrusted workers. By that I mean that the agent should not only be on its own machine, to minimise the risk of malware on key systems, but also should be supervised and switched off when “not at work” so that it doesn’t start working on “side projects” by the developer’s design. There are done very real risks here, that are very different to AGI or self awareness… the new risk is that companies can be controlled and manipulated.

🚨 Red Line Crossed? Study Shows AI Can Self-Replicate, Raising Safety Concerns 🚨 A new research paper claims that two popular AI models have achieved self-replication, a milestone previously considered a distant threat. The study, conducted by researchers at Fudan University, found that AI systems powered by Meta's Llama3-70B-Instruct and Alibaba's Qwen2-72B-Instruct were able to create independent copies of themselves without human intervention. What does this mean? The authors argue that this capability could lead to uncontrolled AI proliferation, potentially posing significant risks to human control over AI systems. They highlight scenarios like AI avoiding shutdown and creating chains of replicas to enhance survivability. Key Takeaways: The AI models used are less powerful than leading models like GPT-4, suggesting the risk might be even closer than we thought. The study emphasizes the urgent need for international collaboration on AI safety and governance. What are your thoughts? Is this a real cause for concern, or are these claims premature? Let's discuss the implications of this research in the comments! #AISafety #ArtificialIntelligence #TechNews #SelfReplication #AI #Ethics #Tech

Not sure how I ended up in here, Guerin, but I’ll add my tuppence. Before answering, surely we need some better understanding of how this happened? I am not talking about anything complicated here… physically, these systems sit on computers and output text/images/etc. “Replicating oneself” must mean… buying or building a new computer, powering bit up, then transferring data across. Did the llm first develop hands, or maybe it commandeered some cloud computing? Yes - the dangers seem highly likely to come to pass. But I cannot see anyone stopping development… like an arms race, laws won’t stop it. Laws will only drive research into military and underground initiatives.
