The AI National Security Memo and broader evolution of AI inferred

Colin Henderson

AI National Security Memo followed by MicKinsey memo on evolution of AI usage On October 24, 2024, the White House issued the first National Security Memorandum (NSM) on Artificial Intelligence, marking a significant development in U.S. AI policy and national security strategy[1][3]. This memorandum outlines a comprehensive approach to harnessing AI for national security objectives while addressing associated risks and challenges. Key Aspects of the AI National Security Memo AI as a National Security Priority The NSM identifies AI leadership as a critical national security priority for the United States[1]. It acknowledges that competitors have engaged in economic and technological … Continue reading The AI National Security Memo and broader evolution of AI inferred

Productivity growth levels comparable to those seen during the Industrial Revolution through AGI development will likely require extensive interdisciplinary collaboration

Colin Henderson

Here are some key areas of collaboration that seem necessary, with speculative examples drawing parallels to Industrial Revolution innovations: Speculating further, we might see the emergence of entirely new interdisciplinary fields, such as “AGI-Human Symbiosis Studies” or “Cognitive Economics,” which could drive innovations we can hardly imagine today. The key to achieving Industrial Revolution-level productivity growth will likely lie in fostering a collaborative ecosystem where these diverse disciplines can cross-pollinate ideas and rapidly translate theoretical breakthroughs into practical applications.

Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a crucial role in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Colin Henderson

The current suite of AI models can generally be categorized as “narrow” in the sense they satisfy a narrow set of related functions, and are closer to advanced digital process automation. Business deployment is heavily focussed on chat functions. Witness this weeks Salesforce results. Their CTO outlined their successes in offering their vision platform to multiple industries and growing rapidly in this lucrative market. but underlying their success is their offering as automated chat and CRM customer case management, recording and processing. AI enhances productivity through human displacement. However I submit their model is hardly transformative to the business model … Continue reading Interdisciplinary collaboration plays a crucial role in advancing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)

Several key breakthroughs are suggested as necessary for achieving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI):

Colin Henderson

Open source research suggests these are areas of LLM development which are holding back real shifts in Gen AI development. Series parts: It’s important to note that there is ongoing debate in the AI research community about which of these breakthroughs are truly necessary for AGI, and whether some might be achieved through scaling existing approaches or require fundamentally new paradigms. The timeline for achieving these breakthroughs and realizing AGI remains uncertain and controversial among experts.

Summary of overall Gen AI status

Colin Henderson

This blog is working toward progress for siginificant productivity gains in business and the economy on a scale which exceeds the Industrial Revolution. A working assumption is the requirement to achieve AGI as a first stepping stone. This series is in 5 parts on the current state of Generative AI, including minimum stepping stones necessary to acheive AGI. AGI will not be achieved through money and investment in technology along; indeed thoughtful and broader investment and collaboration beyond technology and is required. The notion of AGI is often related to development of sentient humans. Sentient is hardly a commonplace word, … Continue reading Summary of overall Gen AI status

The impact of early global exploration on indigenous cultures was profound and often devastating

Colin Henderson

http://www.perplexity.ai/page/pioneers-of-global-exploration-_y_Mh0DHS8.V0ZUeyNxOgQ The impact of early global exploration on indigenous cultures was profound and often devastating. As European explorers charted new territories, they initiated contact with indigenous populations, leading to significant cultural, social, and environmental disruptions. The introduction of European diseases to which indigenous peoples had no immunity resulted in catastrophic declines in indigenous populations across the Americas and other regions[1][2]. Furthermore, the establishment of European colonies often led to the exploitation of indigenous peoples and their resources, the imposition of foreign systems of governance, and the suppression of indigenous cultures. Practices such as the enforced relocation of indigenous populations, the … Continue reading The impact of early global exploration on indigenous cultures was profound and often devastating
