Hi, this is Bing. I’m going to write a description for a YouTube video explaining Sam Altman and OpenAI’s Superalignment. Here is what I came up with:

What is Superalignment and why is it important for the future of artificial intelligence? In this video, we will explore the concept of Superalignment, which is a term coined by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, one of the leading research organizations in the field of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Superalignment is the idea that an AGI system can align itself with the values and goals of humanity, without being explicitly programmed to do so. This would enable the AGI system to cooperate with humans and other AGIs, and avoid potential conflicts or disasters that could arise from misaligned or adversarial AI.

Sam Altman believes that Superalignment is possible and desirable, and that OpenAI is working towards creating such a system. He also thinks that Superalignment is a key factor for achieving AGI, which is the ultimate goal of OpenAI and many other AI researchers.

In this video, we will explain how Superalignment works, what are the challenges and benefits of achieving it, and what are the implications for the future of humanity and AI. We will also discuss some of the projects and initiatives that OpenAI is pursuing to advance the state of the art in AGI and Superalignment.

it seems like the people at OpenAI are terrified of the future they stand as a flag bearer of.

Yes, they have released 2 new letters about super alignment.

Join me as we do the bypass surgery of this term and find out what's the company's exact plan.

The first letter of OpenAI is named Introducing Superintelligence, and it showers light on the fact that superintelligence is a revolutionary technology that could have a tremendous impact on humanity.

It has the potential to help us solve some of the world's most pressing problems, but if it goes the other way around, it can be really, really harmful.

They claim that the whole AI diaspora must also recognize the immense evil powers of superintelligence, which could pose serious dangers and even lead to the disempowerment or extinction of humanity.

OpenAI claims that even if superintelligence seems distant, they believe it could become a reality within this decade.

So, managing the risks associated with superintelligence requires the development of new governance institutions and solutions to ensure that AI systems, which are much smarter than humans, and align with human intent.

These are tools, probably AI tools, designed to work and support humans as loyal servants.

Open AI also expresses sorrow over the fact that, currently, they lack

a solution for steering or controlling a potentially superintelligent AI and preventing it from going rogue.

The existing methods for aligning AI rely on human supervision, but these techniques won't scale to superintelligence.

Humanity needs new scientific and technical breakthroughs to address this challenge.

In this letter, OpenAI also discusses some parts of their approach for dealing with this problem.

Their current approach involves building an automated alignment researcher that is roughly at human-level intelligence.

By leveraging significant computational power, the company believes that it can scale its efforts and iteratively align superintelligence.

The process involves developing a scalable training method, validating the resulting model, and stress-testing the alignment pipeline.

Humans never knew how to find cancer in the body.

For that, they build tomography machines to see what's inside a human.

Had it not been efficiently programmed, it would have harmed us instead of saving many lives.

It detects what us humans cannot with our naked eye and then we can plan the cure.

The alignment techniques will be similar as well.

They will be helping us humans detect what's wrong with a particular AI.

But instead of us applying the solution, they will solve the issue themselves.

It's more like an automated tomography chemotherapy system.

1 system finds the issue, and then helps the other apply the cure without the need of human intervention.

In a nutshell, to evaluate difficult tasks that humans cannot assess effectively, OpenAI will be making use of AI systems to assist in evaluating other AI systems.

The company also claims to understand and control how the models generalize their oversight to unsupervised tasks.

Not only that, OpenAI is seeking ways to automate the search for problematic behavior and internal mechanisms in their behaviors, for which they say they conduct deliberate detection tests.

problem, their research priorities will evolve, and they will start exploring new areas.

Are currently assembling a team of top machine learning researchers and engineers, dedicated to solving the superintelligence alignment problem.

To achieve this, OpenAI will entrust 20% of their computational resources for the upcoming 4 years.

If you ask me, this goal is super ambitious,

And so is the idea of superintelligence taking over in less than a decade.

I am optimistic that a focused effort can prepare us against superintelligence ahead of time.

OpenAI calls their chief basic research bat their superalignment team,

but they expect multiple teams to contribute to developing new methods and scaling them up.

The company also made a sugar-coated statement that they aim to provide evidence and arguments that convince the machine learning and safety community that we have successfully solved the problem.

They say, We are open to sharing our findings and collaborating with

Fingers crossed I am highly sure of that though.

Ilya Tsutskever, OpenAI's co-founder and chief scientist, is leading this research focus alongside Jan Laiky, the head of alignment.

The team consists of researchers and engineers from OpenAI's previous alignment team, as well as experts from other teams within the company.

The company is also actively seeking outstanding researchers and engineers to join this effort, leaving no reason for jobless AI experts to whine about.

That was all the debate over 1 team, they are making another.

This team is meant to continue the company's existing work to improve the safety of current models like ChatGPT.

a reason for not doing it anyways, but nobody can help when the companies decide to brag about how they're bringing so much good to the world.

But I think it would be great if they are actually dedicated to understanding and mitigating various risks posed by AI, including misuse, economic disruption, disinformation, bias and discrimination, addiction, and over-reliance, among others.

In the second, the company majorly discussed the starting point and the approach of governance.

The letter is titled, Governance of Superintelligence, and in the headline, OpenAI says, Now is a good time to start thinking about the governance of superintelligence, Future AI Systems, dramatically more capable than even AGI.

Okay, so from the tagline and all the discussions we've had earlier in this video, it is pretty evident that the company is thankfully taking this issue very, very seriously.

OpenAI believes that in order to navigate the development of superintelligence successfully, there are

These initial thoughts revolve around coordination, internal oversight, and technical safety measures.

For this idea, the necessity of coordination among leading development efforts might become a bottleneck.

the development of superintelligence progresses in a way that prioritizes safety and facilitates the integration of these systems into society.

1 approach could involve major governments establishing a collective project that incorporates existing efforts.

Alternatively, an agreement could be reached, potentially with the support of a new organization, to limit the annual growth rate of AI capability at the forefront of development.

It is essential for individual companies to uphold high standards of responsible action in this process.

Another idea involves the potential establishment of an international authority akin to the International Atomic Energy Agency, but specifically for superintelligence.

Glad that they now finally realize that superintelligence is a threat of the same magnitude as nuclear outburst.

Jokes aside, it is great that any project surpassing a certain capability or resource threshold would fall under the purview of this authority, which would have the power to inspect systems, mandate audits, test compliance with safety standards, impose restrictions on deployment and security levels, and more.

Monitoring compute and energy usage could be a significant step towards achieving this goal.

Initially, companies could voluntarily begin implementing aspects of what such an agency might require, and subsequently, individual countries could adopt these measures.

It is vital for such an agency to focus on mitigating existential risks rather than jumping into matters that should be determined by individual countries, such as regulating AI speech.

The third idea centers around the technical capability of ensuring the safety of superintelligence.

This aspect remains an open research question that requires considerable effort from open AI and other entities.

Researchers and organizations are actively working towards developing the necessary expertise and tools to address this crucial challenge.

If you've watched my earlier videos, I've mentioned this a gazillion times that a governing body is a must-have for controlling the spread of AI.

To address this concern, OpenAI wrote in their letter that, Governance and deployment of

the most powerful AI systems require strong public oversight, as well as decisions that involve democratic participation.

OpenAI emphasizes the belief that, individuals worldwide should have a say in setting the boundaries and defaults for AI systems.

While the exact mechanism for achieving this is yet to be determined,

they claim that they are committed to experimenting and developing it.

Within these established bounds, the organization advocates for granting users substantial control over

the behavior of the AI they interact with.

When considering the reasons for pursuing AI development, OpenAI identifies 2 fundamental motivations.

They envision that AI will lead to a significantly improved world, surpassing current imagination.

Early examples of this can already be seen in various areas such as education, creative work, and personal productivity.

OpenAI recognizes that complex societal problems necessitate significant assistance, and AI has

the potential to positively transform societies, enhancing the creative abilities of individuals and leading to astonishing advancements in economic growth and quality of life.

Yes, OpenAI is true, But have you also thought about numerous people from numerous walks of life losing their jobs?

I have addressed what fields are in the greatest jeopardy.

In the same letter, OpenAI does acknowledge the considerable risks and challenges involved in trying to prevent the creation of superintelligence.

the immense benefits and decreasing cost of building AI technology year by year make it increasingly difficult to halt its progress.

of people engaged in AI development is rapidly expanding, and the pursuit of AI aligns with the trajectory of technological advancement.

Halting its creation would require extraordinary measures, such as a global surveillance regime, and success in such
