AI will be used in militaries, politics and in the government.
Founder of Scale AI (last valued at $7.3B) talked about the potential of AI to revolutionize the battlefield.
Here are 7 most important things you need to know:
1. Opening statement
"AI is China’s Apollo project. To lead the world in the development of AI, we must lead the world in the amount of high-quality data powering AI."
2. US Advantages over China in the AI race
• Talent → Pool of the most talented scientists from across the world.
• Open Data → Military's larger fleet generates more data for AI models.
• Computational Power → NVIDIA, the World's top AI chip maker, is US-based.
3. On harnessing data
"Data is ammunition in an AI war. And if we have that recognition as an entire department and as a country, it becomes very clear to take the right actions to collect all this data."
4. On the synergy between the govt & private in America to help to outperform China
"We need to ensure that the US is economically dominant and also has military leadership as well when it comes to AI."
5. What is the best data that is needed for AI to be effective in military applications?
"We have all of the fundamentals to have an advantage because the DoD generates 22 TB of data."
"We can instrument this data into one central repository & we can come out ahead."
6. How long are we from AGIs?
"We set the foundations today of investing in data, investing in test and evaluation to set up the foundation for long-term success."
"AGI protection timelines, I think this is often a way to distract from the current conversation."
7. Why does the conversation on AI matter?
"AI is an incredibly powerful technology that underpins nearly everything that we do from an economic and military standpoint."
We need to make sure that we use it for good and protect our citizens, our ideologies, and our democracy.
Things are getting serious...
AI will not just be used for building websites or chatbots.
Governments are using AI to deal with much larger problems that involve everyone.
