This is particularly the case with large language models that are \u201copen source\u201d and accessible by all.\u201cThere\u2019s much more at stake here than just companies or products,\u201d the Nobel Prize winner said in an interview with the Financial Times. \u201c[It\u2019s] the future of humanity, the human condition and where we want to go as a society.\u201d Amodei, whose start-up makes the chatbot Claude and is backed by Google and Amazon, said he was concerned about authoritarian governments using AI and was \u201cvery worried about 1984 scenarios, or worse\u201d.\u201cScience doesn\u2019t know how we can control machines that are even at our level of intelligence, and even worse if they\u2019re smarter than us,\u201d added Bengio during a panel. \u201cThere are people who are saying, \u2018Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ll figure it out.\u2019 But if we don\u2019t figure it out, do you understand the consequences?\u201d Their stance was criticised as hypocritical by Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist at Meta, which has spent billions developing an open source LLM called Llama. He said that such concerns were belied by his rivals\u2019 fierce competition to build, and sell, the best models.\u201cYoshua and Dario have made opinions against open source and that\u2019s actually very dangerous,\u201d he said in an interview. \u201cObstacles to open source distribution would lead to regulatory capture by a few players, either of the west coast of the US or China\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009[putting] power in the hands of a small number of people.\u201cIt\u2019s very strange from people like Dario. We met yesterday where he said that the benefits and risks of AI are roughly on the same order of magnitude, and I said, \u2018if you really believe this, why do you keep working on AI?\u2019\u201d LeCun added. \u201cSo I think he is a little two-faced on this.\u201dWhilst scientists and engineers debated the risk-reward of AI, business executives showed unfettered enthusiasm for the technology.\u00a0\u201cThere are no contrarians,\u201d said Ervin Tu, president of Dutch tech investment group Prosus. \u201cIf you have any appreciation for what large language models and agents trained on them can do, you would be hard-pressed as a human not to conclude that they are transformational and will be incredibly disruptive in every industry.\u201d On Wednesday, the febrile atmosphere was further charged by OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle announcing a $500bn US AI infrastructure joint venture called \u201cStargate\u201d.Trump hosted their chief executives, Sam Altman, Masayoshi Son and Larry Ellison, in the Oval Office on Tuesday, before signing executive orders this week that would eliminate many guardrails around the development of the technology. The new US president said the moves would ensure American primacy in the technology.\u201cAt OpenAI, we believe infrastructure is destiny,\u201d said OpenAI chief financial officer Sarah Friar. \u201c[Stargate] is about more compute. More compute builds better models. Better models answer more complex problems and deliver more benefits for people and businesses.\u201dStargate dominated debate in Davos for the rest of the week, with many including Elon Musk taking to his social networking site X to question how the trio would fund the vast expenditure promised. The FT reported on Friday that Stargate has not yet secured the funding it requires, will receive no government financing and will serve only OpenAI once completed. So far, SoftBank and OpenAI intend to put forward more than $15bn each for the project, hoping to raise a combination of equity from their existing backers and debt to fund Stargate.The new venture was also taken as the latest evidence of a fissure in the relationship between Altman and Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella and his top AI executive Mustafa Suleyman, the former DeepMind cofounder who left his own startup and joined Microsoft early last year.\u201cThe tensions that surfaced between Mustafa Suleyman and Sam Altman at Davos last year were just the beginning,\u201d said Salesforce chief executive Marc Benioff, which competes with Microsoft in selling AI-powered agents to businesses. \u201cMicrosoft is now accelerating its own AI development\u2009.\u2009.\u2009. This pattern reflects Microsoft\u2019s history with its \u2018partners,\u2019\u201d Benioff added. \u201cThis could mark the beginning of the end for the relationship, making it critical for OpenAI to expand to other platforms quickly.\u201d\u201cMarc has no idea what he\u2019s talking about,\u201d said Microsoft spokesperson Frank Shaw.Microsoft has invested almost $14bn in OpenAI since 2019 and in return negotiated rights to its intellectual property and to be its exclusive cloud computing provider. But the latter agreement was terminated alongside the announcement of Stargate.In Davos, Nadella also cast doubt on the Stargate spending pledges and touted Microsoft\u2019s planned $80bn in capital expenditure.\u201cAll I know is I\u2019m good for my $80bn,\u201d he said, later replying to Musk on social media platform X: \u201cAnd all this money is not about hyping AI, but is about building useful things for the real world!\u201dStargate is just the latest example of an infrastructure arms race for data centres in the US as it prepares for the next leg of the AI economic boom. Musk\u2019s xAI built a supercomputer called \u201cColossus\u201d containing 100,000 interconnected Nvidia chips in just three months last year and has pledged to expand the number 10-fold.BlackRock and Microsoft are preparing to launch a $30bn AI investment fund to build data centres and energy projects to meet growing demands stemming from the tech sector. On Friday, Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg said the company would spend between $60bn-$65bn on capital infrastructure this year while expanding its AI teams.\u201cI\u2019ve had nonstop customer meetings, across every sector. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s a single CEO I\u2019ve spoken to who doesn\u2019t know they need to be deploying AI,\u201d said OpenAI\u2019s Friar. \u201cAI isn\u2019t just on the agenda; it is the agenda. It is no longer just an abstract concept or futuristic vision. It\u2019s here.\u201dAdditional reporting by Harriet Agnew in Davos<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic The biggest figures in artificial intelligence sparred over the dangers of the rapidly advancing technology at the World Economic Forum this week, as hype swirled around a $500bn AI infrastructure project touted by Donald Trump.AI pioneers including Google DeepMind chief Sir Demis Hassabis, Anthropic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-180832","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-tech"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=180832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/180832\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=180832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=180832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globetimeline.com\/ar\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=180832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
