A White House meeting with AI leaders, intended to regulate AI and inspire public confidence, is described as 'performance art.' Despite discussions on AI safety, the outcome was largely a rebranding of 'artificial intelligence' to 'super intelligence' and a voluntary agreement to self-regulate, while some companies like Anthropic continue to issue extinction warnings.
“The whole thing was essentially performance art.”
“per the orders of the president, as well as a voluntary agreement to self-regulate, which also included a noticeable spelling mistake underneath Trump's signature, who signed off as the, quote, President of the United States.”
“Meanwhile, as Anthropic prepares to go public, the company has issued warnings of AI extinction and continues to do so.”
