Story: state of ai/safety
Context: The Future of Life Institute’s ‘Pause Giant AI Experiments’ open letter, signed by Musk, Bengio, Russell, Wozniak and thousands of others. As a matter of record no lab paused — training of GPT-4-class and more capable models continued and accelerated through 2023–2026 — and nineteen past AAAI presidents published a counter-letter on 5 April 2023 urging ‘a constructive, collaborative, and scientific approach’ instead. But the letter is a normative call to action and a risk judgement, not a falsifiable factual prediction, so it is recorded rather than scored against its signatories.
