İndirme: Yapay zekanın gerçek nesli tükenme tehdidi ve gözler için yaş - tersine çevirme teknolojisi

Plus: Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk have called for an AI slowdown.

Employees at the world's leading AI labs are saying there's a real possibility that advanced AI could destroy humanity. Are they right? Or is this more scaremongering and hype?

Join MIT Technology Review executive editor Niall Firth, senior AI editor Will Douglas Heaven, and AI reporter Grace Huckins for a subscriber-only conversation unpacking the debate around AI extinction. They’ll explore where the fears come from, whether they hold any water and, if they do, what we should do about them.

Register now to attend on Tuesday, September 15 at 16:00 BST / 11:00am EST / 8:00am PST .

Yuancheng (Ryan) Lu is obsessed with aging. And with eyes. As he steps outside the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his aviator glasses darken automatically in the sun. Age-related blindness runs in his family, and his own 23andMe test came back with a mutation for macular degeneration, a top cause of vision loss in old age.

That obsession extends to his work. Lu is behind one of the coolest results in rejuvenation science and eye research: an age-reversal technique called reprogramming that repaired the optic nerves of blind mice, restoring their vision.

Now, nearly the same genetic therapy he developed as a student has entered human clinical trials.

1 Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk have called for an AI slowdown In a rare show of unity, the rivals agreed that AI needs stronger brakes. ( Guardian ) + Amodei wants independent monitors and new industry-wide rules. ( BBC ) + Altman called for pacing, but not stopping. ( Bloomberg $) + While Musk said on X that “Dario is right.” ( WSJ $) + AI-linked stocks slumped in response. ( FT $) + Chinese state media blasted the calls as a “Cold War” tactic. ( Reuters $) + AI’s impacts are getting harder to predict.
