Latent Expertise: Everyone is in R&D<\/strong><\/a> — from oneusefulthing.org by Ethan Mollick
\nIdeas come from the edges, not the center<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpt (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

And to understand the value of AI, they need to do R&D. Since AI doesn’t work like traditional software, but more like a person (even though it isn’t one), there is no reason to suspect that the IT department has the best AI prompters, nor that it has any particular insight into the best uses of AI inside an organization. IT certainly plays a role, but the actual use cases will come from workers and managers who find opportunities to use AI to help them with their job. In fact, for large companies, the source of any real advantage in AI will come from the expertise of their employees, which is needed to unlock the expertise latent in AI.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

OpenAI\u2019s former chief scientist is starting a new AI company<\/strong><\/a> — from theverge.com by Emma Roth
\nIlya Sutskever is launching Safe Superintelligence Inc., an AI startup that will prioritize safety over \u2018commercial pressures.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

Ilya Sutskever, OpenAI\u2019s co-founder and former chief scientist, is starting a new AI company focused on safety. In\u00a0a post on Wednesday, Sutskever revealed Safe Superintelligence Inc. (SSI), a startup with \u201cone goal and one product:\u201d creating a safe and powerful AI system.<\/p>\n

Ilya Sutskever Has a New Plan for Safe Superintelligence<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0— from bloomberg.com by Ashlee Vance (behind a paywall)<\/em><\/span>

Ilya Sutskever is kind of a big deal in AI, to put it lightly.<\/b><\/p>\n

Part of OpenAI\u2019s founding team, Ilya was Chief Data Scientist (read: genius) before being part of the coup that fired Sam Altman.
\n…
\nYesterday, Ilya announced that he\u2019s forming a new initiative called <\/b>Safe Superintelligence<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n

If AGI = AI that can perform a wide range of tasks at our level, then Superintelligence = an even more advanced AI that surpasses human capabilities in all areas.<\/p>\n

AI is exhausting the power grid. Tech firms are seeking a miracle solution.<\/strong> <\/a>— from washingtonpost.com by Evan Halper and Caroline O’Donovan
\nAs power needs of AI push emissions up and put big tech in a bind, companies put their faith in elusive \u2014 some say improbable \u2014 technologies.<\/em><\/p>\n

As the tech giants compete in a global AI arms race, a frenzy of data center construction is sweeping the country. Some computing campuses require as much energy as a modest-sized city, turning tech firms that promised to lead the way into a clean energy future into some of the world\u2019s most insatiable guzzlers of power. Their projected energy needs are so huge, some worry whether there will be enough electricity to meet them from any source.<\/p>\n

Microsoft, OpenAI, Nvidia join feds for first AI attack simulation<\/strong><\/a> — from axios.com by Sam Sabin<\/p>\n

Federal officials, AI model operators and cybersecurity companies ran the first joint simulation of a cyberattack involving a\u00a0critical AI system\u00a0last week.<\/p>\n

Why it matters:\u00a0Responding to a cyberattack on an AI-enabled system will require a different playbook than the typical hack, participants told Axios.<\/p>\n

The big picture:\u00a0Both Washington and Silicon Valley are attempting to get ahead of the\u00a0unique\u00a0cyber threats\u00a0facing AI companies\u00a0before they become more prominent.<\/p>\n
