- Will make a signing related to AI
- Forget trying to get approval for 50 different states
- Sacks: Order gives tools to push back on most onerous state regulations
- We are taking steps for a single national standard on AI
The idea of dominance is that AI will be iterative, so the latest generation of AI designs the following one and that also maps to the physical world. I have a hard time believing that it won’t be diffuse as the stakes are so high and the information nearly impossible to protect. Moreover, the world can only accept change so quickly.
At the same time, there is a limit in real world applications. Once a car learns to drive a car, it’s learned. Maybe you can refine it and make it more efficient but in time — and probably not a long time — others catch up. Perhaps you could ‘dominate’ for a time but only if you’re essentially giving it away or using some kind of regulator capture that’s hard to push across borders.
Moreover, I continue to believe that the black swan of this century will be the collapse of the intellectual property system.
