The law that drives the development of AI
Aksel Sterri, Research Director, writes about the scaling law and the consequences it can have for Norwegian AI policy. “Despite the challenges, there is little reason to believe that we have seen the best AI models. Billions of dollars are invested in the leading technology companies and AI-created data has already been used to improve Anthropic's AI model. Epoch's conclusion is that “by 2030, with a high probability, it will be possible to train models that exceed GPT-4 in scale to the same extent that GPT-4 exceeds GPT-2 in scale”.”
Tore Renberg kritiserer Digitaliseringsministerns holdning til KI-sikkerhet
Tore Renberg kritiserer digitaliseringsministerens svar til fagsjef Aksel Braanen Sterri på Dagsnytt 18 den 26.09. Tung svarer: «Jeg tror ikke på dommedagsscenarioene.» - "Merk hvilket ord hun bruker: «Tror.» Som Braanen Sterri sa: Sånn kan vi ikke holde på. Vi kan ikke basere den største revolusjonen i moderne tid på tro. Det har folk forsøkt før. For hva er tro? Tro er følelser. Og menneskene i samfunnet er ikke eksperter, de er følelsesklumper. Det skal de få lov til å være. Det er den styrende parten som ikke har lov til å styre etter følelser."
