A series of philosophical deep dives will tackle the big questions about AI—whether LLMs actually know things, possess consciousness, have agency, or can be moral—while examining how these ideas apply to current warnings about advanced AI agents and existential risks.
We are hosting a series of discussions focused on the philosophy of AI. Our motivating questions are whether today's LLMs have knowledge, whether they are conscious, whether they have agency, and finally whether they can be moral. This week we consider a case in the news. Frontier labs are warning us that agents on the loose are an imminent existential risk. Does anything we've been discussing bear on these claims? https://darioamodei.com/post/we-must-pace-the-frontier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roko%27s_basilisk For those of you who remember the old philosophy meetup, we have returned to the old format, but with better food.
