OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever to talk on a range of topics at NeurIPS, the annual artificial intelligence conference, on Friday afternoon before accepting an award for his contributions to the field.
Sutskever made his predictions for “superintelligent” artificial intelligence, which is more capable than humans at many tasks, which he believes will be achieved at some point. Sutskever said AI superintelligence would be “different and qualitative” from the AI we have today — and in some ways unrecognizable.
“The (superintelligent) systems will actually be effective in a real way,” Soktsifer said, unlike the current crop of AI that is “very slightly effective.” They will “think” and, as a result, become unpredictable. They will understand things from limited data. Sutskever believes they will be self-aware.
They may want the rights, actually. “It’s not a bad end result if you have AI and all they want is to coexist with us and just get the rights,” Sutskever said.
After leaving OpenAI, Sutskever founded a lab, Safe Superintelligence (SSI), focused on public AI safety. SSI raised $1 billion in September.
