a little shook, too. So, to figure out how worried we should be,spoke with Fabio Urbina, lead author of the paper. He’s also a senior scientist at Collaborations Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a company that focuses on finding drug treatments for rare diseases.This paper seems to flip your normal work on its head. Tell me about what you do in your day-to-day job.
We can use these datasets in order to create a machine learning model, which basically learns what parts of the molecular structure are important for toxicity and which are not. Then we can give this machine learning model new molecules, potentially new drugs that maybe have never been tested before. And it will tell us this is predicted to be toxic, or this is predicted not to be toxic.
Now, these are predictions that we haven’t verified, and we certainly don’t want to verify that ourselves. But the predictive models are generally pretty good. So even if there’s a lot of false positives, we’re afraid that there are some more potent molecules in there. This was quite an unusual publication. We’ve been back and forth a bit about whether we should publish it or not. This is a potential misuse that didn’t take as much time to perform. And we wanted to get that information out since we really didn’t see it anywhere in the literature. We looked around, and nobody was really talking about it. But at the same time, we didn’t want to give the idea to bad actors.At the end of the day, we decided that we kind of want to get ahead of this.
Right, there’s still some big leaps between what the AI comes up with and turning that into a real-world threat. What are the gaps there? For context, there are more and more policies about data sharing. And I completely agree with it because it opens up more avenues for research. It allows other researchers to see your data and use it for their own research. But at the same time, that also includes things like toxicity datasets and toxicity models. So it’s a little hard to figure out a good solution for this problem.
Ted was right
Can it not
SO GLAD WE ARE USING TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE WEAPONS WHAT A FUCKING GREAT USE OF OUR RESOURCES
Don’t give them ideas
I don't dare to imagine how many peace resolutions it would be able to create
are frightening the women and children and making unsubstantiated claims... you are being duped into artificial war-game scenarios.
Okay, now we know how to kill everyone, why did he even go there? The world is already headed for extinction of all life. Hello!
This is for you chumps who insist that government is a 'necessary evil' Keep complying and this is exactly what you get (and deserve)
About the Same as the AI in charge of MSM bullshit propaganda
So the guys who made this AI, watched it create 50 or so chemical weapons and thought 'Huh. That's a lot of ways to kill people. Let's keep it running overnight to how many it can come up with. What's the worst that could happen?'? 😂
If only they could be used 🥲
Who is AL?
Bad AI, really bad and scarry
shut it down
That is what ai does. It can randomize and create things we would’ve never thought to create
😲
You guys are on a path to becoming the Daily Mail.
Use AI for the good of humanity, we don't need mass destruction weapons, we need medical solutions, we need anti climate change solutions, we need extend life expectancy and quality, we need solutions to poverty and inequality
The military-industrial complex is loving it.
We are doomed.
Elon save us!
This article is like saying 'Drinking bleach will kill you', to scare you about bleach.
Soooooo, the Drug companies are using this tech to design new chemical weapons! NOW we know the real story of why the World Governments got in bed with Big-Pharma 2 years ago!
AI should be banned and we as a species are idiots.
Bet the US have stock piles of every single one of them for covert ops in Syria and Ukraine
Al who?
Stop makin ai's that invent chemical weapons?
And when sh1t hits the fans, humans be like 'its not us, its the AI'
cool
The great question is: Why would you tweet about it?
Excellent guys…you did it! Fantastic use of technology and science.
You were warned to be careful with AI
Yay! Hooray for AI!
Give some to Russia
There have been signs and we have been missing them. Dear Robot overlords…let’s talk
The Terminator begins...
I wouldn't condone the use of chemical weapons, but in a world of conflict that could be on the verge of war between nations with nukes? Please God, let it be gas masks in the trenches and not the incineration of entire cities around the globe...
why are you announcing this and not quietly yeeting that machine into the depths
YESSS!!
☺️
Throw them at the gremlin in the Kremlin, then. PutinisEvil
what a great thing to publicize, thanks…
Should we say stuff like this out loud?
It’s gonna be Resident Evil in a few years isn’t it? And not the zombies either, like the shit with long tongues and razor claws and bug monster-type motherfuckers 😭😭😭
а як знищити росню не запропонував?
What a great thing to use million dollar technology on! 👍
Seems safe
War often played roles in advancing technology. technology can alleviate human suffering and prevent future wars? Too many of today’s computer scientists are willing to leave the hard task of figuring out how to govern A.I. to others.
yikes... really makes you realize how fragile life is that it's so easy to whip up thousands of different poisons
Well then let's end AI forever!!
Same AI that helped US find WMD in Iraq
Somebody shut that AI down!
We dead ☠️
