The Rise of Trusted AIs
AI systems connected to sensors and actuators in the physical world will start interacting with and controlling the environment on a massive scale. This requires these AIs to be both trusted and trustworthy.
Summary
- AI systems like large language models (LLMs) are getting better at understanding human language and generating humanlike responses. They will start replacing humans for many tasks.
- In 2024, these AI systems will connect to sensors and actuators in the physical world through APIs. They will receive inputs from and start controlling the environment.
- This will happen first for simple tasks like scheduling, reservations, arguing for refunds etc. But will extend to coordinating and optimizing large systems like power grids, factories, transportation networks etc.
- These AI systems spread across sensors, actuators and processing units will essentially function as large interconnected robots.
- Security will depend on these decentralized AIs being both trusted and trustworthy, like an executive assistant agency used by an entire industry.
- This future requires rethinking assumptions of governance, economy and individuality. It's more aligned with ideas of Buddhist interconnectedness than Western individualism.
- In 2024, we will see the first steps towards this future that requires AI systems that are trusted and trustworthy.
