OpenAI Says One Agent Query Solves More Than 300 Open Math Problems
Summary
Attendees at the Golden Gate Institute for AI's annual Curve conference in Berkeley say timelines to superintelligence and loss of control feel uncomfortably short. Helen Toner of CSET said long timelines aren't what they used to be. OpenAI reports solving over 300 open math problems with one agent query, about three hours of compute each.
Key Points
- Congressman Ro Khanna calls for a temporary ban on recursive self-improvement at the Curve conference.
- Josh Saxe proposes an AI Security Observatory to share threat information among everyone working to stop catastrophic attacks.
- A panelist estimates $20 billion in philanthropic money will deploy over the next 18 months.
