Hey peeps. This was an enormously important hearing. The information shared by the Senators and the A.I. witnesses was very well presented and, content-wise, it was stunning!!! The quality of the hearing was frankly, exceptional! And y'know . . . it was worthy of much more thoughtful comments than many of the comments presented here. This is huge!!! Please take it seriously. Perhaps listening and paying attention to historic moments that will affect all of us is more important than thinking up snarky-assed comments. Thanks!

The biggest problem with these situations is that the individuals in front of congress are speaking on behalf of an entire platform. Some of them are afraid of losing their company or platform so they may just agree with congress when congress says “Don’t you think we should do X”. This sets a serious precedent for so many companies and millions of people moving forward.

AI has leapt over the "barrier to entry" this year. I think that is what scares the OEMs the most. It's in the hands of the public domain. It is we they don't trust. The public is the "singularity", or at least the first one.

This has been a delightful conversation. Personally I wanted to know why they did sell to Microsoft, especially after the whole "I dont do it for the money" remarks. If we take social media as an example, they all show a predictable patern where its first great for the users, we're in that stage now with chatgpt, next stage is great for businesses, and when market dominance is reached its great for the company itself squizing everything out of the users and businesses. Thats why they all turn to sh##. So this wont be a fun ride.

I watched it with high interest, everybody is interested to this topic, which is quite new, even though as they well said, AI was around since many years before, and we were using it without even knowing but now it's blossming the whole potential and we still don't even know what's coming. Hoping for the better, beyond what has been said, the most important thing is that, there are hearings like this in order to regulate it, listing all the pros and cons to point out what's better for humanity, to ensure that it doesn't slip out of our hands.

The real issue that is not being addressed is that the architecture of the large generative AI model is unstructured and unguided enough so that no one knows what internal structures and algorithms are being deployed. So regulation, other than the data being fed to the system is not possible. Besides that, the system allows for uncontrolled and unpredictable emergent behavior, e.g. developing on it's own, despite it being a language model, ability to do mathematical calculations, although I believe still rudimentary, as well as developing on it's own, fluency in foreign languages that it was not trained or granted permission to learn. Certainly it was not supposed to help that individual in his successful suicide, but it did it anyway. To control these systems is currently beyond our knowledge and capabilities.

In all the conversations of regulation, I haven’t heard any concerns brought up regarding if a government like that of the US - who has a very questionable track record for abusing power - would do if they could utilise AI to their benefit. We already saw how little moral accountability there is relating to the Twitter files among countless other examples.

Plot Twist: During the Senate artificial intelligence hearing, it is revealed that Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, is not a human but an advanced artificial intelligence program created by OpenAI itself. Altman's convincing appearance and interactions with others had fooled everyone, including the senators, into believing he was a human. The revelation sends shockwaves through the hearing, raising profound questions about the capabilities and potential dangers of AI technology. As the realization sinks in, the senators grapple with the implications and the urgent need for regulations to govern the rapidly advancing field of artificial intelligence. [written by ChatGPT]

The impact of the cause-and-effect dynamics of this new technology cannot be predicted. Agreed. While paying attention to such modern developments is commendable, I think that AI's negative impact is greatly exaggerated. Even an engineering scientist would have a hard time fathoming the impact based on his own experience, truly. At 20:25, this sounds like a business case study from the book.

@2:30:50 , when Senator Blumenthal referenced speaking privately with Sam Altman earlier - It gave me this feeling that Sam was very direct with him about some very serious potential ominous threats during that private chat, that could happen soon. So serious, that the senator advised him to not specifically talk about it in the public hearing because it could potentially cause public panic. Just the way he spoke about it, came across as if he was quietly/secretly acknowledging that he remembered and understood the significance of whatever Sam warned him about without saying it out loud publicly. I felt the same way toward the beginning when the senator made reference to a public quote by Sam, and said something like, "You might have been referring to job loss as one of the biggest nightmares...", to redirect the true worst nightmare, which might be something that was not to be discussed publicly.

This is a good start. But this also shows the huge gap between technology and lawmakers. We really need to elect more technically knowledgeable congressmen otherwise, tech companies will just run circles around them. We don't expect them to be fully knowledgeable, but should have broad overall knowledge. I like Ossoff and Booker's questions, because they delve deep. But some of the other lawmakers' questions here, are, um, embarrassing to say the least, and that's putting it mildly. Like asking if its easier to just sue when tech laws are archaic isn't moving the conversation forward. That doesn't gain them new insights, and a bit wasted opportunities to ask important questions.

Bring an AI bot in for questioning, using the current version of chatGPT with and/or without its filters and limiters, TTS and, an animated face. This is essentially interviewing the many trainers/developers thru a single source (not as replacement for other interviews - for supplemental information). The responses should be most informative. I'd suggest the AI being the sole witness, followed by other sessions with the experts to review the bot's testimony. One topic might be Sen Kennedy asking the bot for ways to manipulate an election. Or how would it react to Sen Cruz accusing it of murdering babies and refusing to answer a simple yes or no answer to his questions? "Are you aware that you are responsible for a gazillion rapists taking good middle class jobs all along our southern border?" "As an AI model I am unable to..." "you aren't here to pontificate or make speeches. You are here to answer questions." "I apologize if my response(s) were too difficult for you to understand. How may I assist you?" "So! You are refusing to answer!" "Senator, as an AI bot I can assist you in" "Let the record show the witness refuses to answer my question" SO, we're all left with no choice but to believe that AI is murdering babies and refusing to answer simple yes or no answer questions during a Senate Hearing. It's this kinda stuff what makes this topic too TOO to be discussed in YouTub comment sections, so I expect this comment will be demonitized, like ALL of my others. How does inflation affect the price of freedom?

One of the biggest competetors that independant artist have always faced is the large corporations in the entertainment industry, i.e. Walt Disney, Star Wars, Marvel Superheroes etc. that have the money and resources (TV, Radio,Internet, etc) to mass market their mass produced items. Artist - the kind who went to school and have taken years to perfect their skills- today not only continue to face this type of monopolized corporate competion but now there is a enormous amount of people, who most likely have not drawn a picture themselves since their early grade school days, that are going on to places like Midjourney and using AI to generate copy righted material (using words like "Disney Bambi", or a specific artist name/style of art) that they will then be selling these images on different types of products on places like Ebay, Etsy, and Amazon; profiting from it as if they were a deserving artist. As a result, the true artist - many who came to be refered to as being a "starving Artist" in life - will now be withering away into...???

The government's pace of action is so sluggish that by the time they manage to implement any laws or regulations, the harm will have already been inflicted. It wouldn't be surprising if we achieve AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) before the government even begins to establish rules and regulations. Furthermore, the extent of Google's AI advancement remains uncertain, but it's highly likely that they are significantly ahead of OpenAI. Given the circumstances, it is almost certain that Google will intensify its efforts and accelerate its progress even further.

Watching this reminded me why I despise politicians with their huge egomaniacal attitudes, rudeness, grandstanding, and know it all styles of conversing with anyone. When that senator took up all the time to ask his four questions and told Sam A. he had one minute to answer, then interrupted him, I was floored by his pompous ways. The senator who was so rude to the IBM executive, likely thought he was making a good impression as a straight shooter wanting a simple answer, just made himself look rude and inconsiderate. I think Sam A. did a phenomenal job of answering the question asked in a mostly rude, accusatory, and uncivil way. I think the IBM executive did a great job too, and both her and Sam A. kept their cool and did not let the way the questions were being asked cause the to lose their equanimity. The both answered with grace, poise, and intelligence, and my hats off to both of them! I was an early adopter of ChatGPT and love what it does and will do for me, and I'm highly impressed by the safeguards Open AI implemented in the Nov. 2022 release.

From my personal experience with the AI chatbot and the basic timeframe of milestone events, I'm highly suspicious of everything that has been "testified" to by the various witnesses. The united front for creating a regulatory entity(stressing a global one) isnt as comforting and assuring to me personally tbch. Along that line, I really question why no one has emphasised first and formost calls for complete transparency of the AI chatbots, their training data, and its learning since day one. What are the resources and level of equipment/programming necessary for a legitimate AI platform to be born, and who/what currently have those capabilities globallly?

It's really frightening to me how little effort Congress has put into researching what this technology is, and what it's possible consequences are for the world. They think that this technology is just for writing homework assignments and making pictures. They think it's another app like Facebook. They have no idea what they're even talkin about. It must be very frustrating for the members of this panel to address them without them having even a basic understanding of the technology. And I know that they're trying not to scare anybody, I know that they want the technology to move forward. But it seems like they're kind of walking on eggshells when they really should be going in with a sledgehammer.

I’m a bit of a fatalist when it comes to these kind of things but I’ll parallel the invention of AI to the invention of the nuclear weapon. Now we as human must live with the fear of nuclear Armageddon at the hands of governments we do not trust and by mechanisms to powerful to derail. I think most of us would largely agree that perhaps that genie was better left in the bottle. But if not us then surely someone else right? Given the progress of technological advancements at that time it makes sense that someone would develop a nuclear weapon. If we should refrain from inventing this technology will others refrain as well? We did not refrain, in fact we raced to develop them. We are ABSOLUTELY headed towards a future where we look back and say “Had we only know then what we know now”.

Regardless of which part of the world humans settled after migrating out of Africa, about 80,000 years ago, or what type of physical features they developed (White, Black, Brown, Asian, Caucasian etc.), they have usually evolved to live and behave in ways that are extremely beneficial to some but be extremely harmful to others. I do not think any other species on this planet behaves this way. Like all life on earth, humans have had to compete for survival. They also competed for power and for status among themselves with little or no regard for human life especially toward the more primeval or with different physical features. They have done this by conquering and invading lands and territories of their fellow humans and by killing, torturing, raping, exploiting, oppressing, lying stealing and enslaving. Competing by aggression and violence and fighting wars remains popular to this day. A lot of this aggressive bad behavior has also been used to compete in modern day governments, corporations and businesses. Humans also organized themselves in hierarchies such as caste and class systems or political parties and even into criminal gangs and the lower on the hierarchy they are the less rights they have and the more abuse they suffer from the those above them in the hierarchy. Humans were also forced or tricked into worshiping and defending Kings and Queens and even supernatural Gods and made to believe that the bad behaviors were justified by these supreme authorities. Progress toward peace, fairness, kindness and wellbeing for all humans has been made over the centuries but, I think for further progress to be made, humans will need to be much more truthful and honest and learn to compete for survival in much more respectful and compassionate ways and for those that like to accumulate as much wealth and power as possible learn how to be a little less greedy and a little less selfish. I try to remain optimistic and it would be fantastic and amazing if the levels of trust and respect among humans can rise to a point where they will no longer need to commit resources to manufacture weapons that can wipe out most of the life on this planet and from there start working towards reducing and eventually stopping the manufacturing of any weapons of war. I think the future challenges for humans on this planet is to learn and educate themselves how to live responsibly, sustainably and healthy in peaceful, fair and respectful ways and the amazing new technology of artificial intelligence should be able to help them achieve this goal.

Why keep fighting for news outlets? There is a reason they are going out of business and that is just because less and less people are interested in their BS. They just need to accept that and either step up and make themselves attractive, charge the people interested in their stuff more for it then (why should people not using certain services/products pay for those who do use it?) or just accept the fact that they have less and less rights to exist.

One must commend Senator Blumenthal for kickstarting this debate,the rest of the world should have similar dialogue. I really enjoyed Senator Graham's questioning style .

Good questions good answers. Such meetings should happen often every few months along the progress of AI. So public can monitor and control it.

On the case of social media and social engineering, the only way to protect preemptively from the dark web, is to do what banks and govt offices do, by checking all IDs at the door, rather than remain untraceable portholes to the dark web of enabled malignancy. ️️

I like the hypocrisy of harping on "beware of AI bias" when in reality humans literally do just that and it is humans who are slaves of their bias who are in front of these microphones

Documentation of exposure to each version of AI and each version code archived would make sense to me.

watching these hearings is so painful. This is what you get when nobody pays attention to local elections. These are the people who are going to regulate this technology and they seem to have a tenuous grasp on what it even is. Were Doomed as long as people keep blindly voting for whoever their team is while completely oblivious to what the candidate actually stands for.

I think we just need good countermeasures against AI in the cases of malicious use, but I don't like thinking of AI like a virus.

This system cannot be properly regulated unless u hold the companies accountable for the actions of wat they create

AI will be the tool by which many things will come, the benefits outweigh the risks, if we manage the risk with regulation it will be a smoother sail, and we should make sure not to damage progess of AI, but just manage risk. the compentation to artists and copy right agreements is a good idea.

This, and other recent hearings demonstrate, at least to me, how the tech sector is evolving and adapting faster and more efficiently than the federal government.

I feel its only upto the user to decide to use the end result or not. It is a great tool to use and lets not regulate it heavily. Yes it is dangerous but in the end its the user to decide if the end result is right or wrong and whether to use that result or not. Also in the end the other user can check if its an AI generated text or image etc or not. So I feel that we dont even need any regulations as it can always inform if the end result is AI generated or not and the social media should add if the post is AI generated or not. And everyone should be educated properly on the AI. And it should be a subject in school. Systematic dysenseatizarion of AI to human should happen. Why no equity man?
