SurvAIval Insight #21_24

This is what we have today, fellas!

Fast weekly summary

• While Scarlett Johansson, is “shocked, angered and in disbelief” over how “eerily similar” the GPT-4o voice is to hers (showing the real ethics of some tech companies), IA safety starts to become a legitimate worry.

• Amazon plans to give Alexa an AI overhaul and a monthly subscription price.

• New Windows AI computers, 50% more powerful than Apple, Microsoft says, and with creepier features!

The chart of the week

The word “safeguards” is a convenient way for Big Tech to say ‘well, at least we tried!’ And this — not some fictional singularity — marks the real threat of AI.

“We found that models comply with harmful questions across multiple datasets under relatively simple attacks, even if they are less likely to do so in the absence of an attack.”

Not as safe as expected… In the meantime, heads of states and companies commit to AI safety at Seoul summit.
