5 things about AI you may have missed today: OpenAI’s big AGI find, AI to fix F1 track disasters, more
Today, November 23 was filled with interesting developments in the artificial intelligence ecosystem. In the first incident, a report suggests that OpenAI researchers sent the board directors a letter warning of a powerful AI discovery, that they said could even threaten humanity. This happened just a day before Sam Altman was fired. In other news, the International Automobile Federation or FIA has planned to use the 2023 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix to train AI in hopes of improving the monitoring of track limits and preventing crashes. This and more in today's AI roundup. Let us take a closer look.
A recent Reuters report revealed that, before Sam Altman's dismissal from OpenAI, researchers sent the board a letter revealing a potential breakthrough in artificial general intelligence (AGI), considered superintelligence. The algorithm, named Q* (pronounced Q-star), demonstrated promising problem-solving abilities in mathematics, fueling optimism about its future success. As per the report, Altman's firing might have been influenced by the reported letter. However, OpenAI neither confirmed nor denied the accuracy of the reported information.
The FIA plans to use the 2023 Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix to train AI, specifically Computer Vision, aimed at enhancing race control for monitoring Formula 1's track limits in 2024, reports Race.com. This AI system is intended to automatically address marginal track-limit infringements that currently require human review. Deputy F1 race director Tim Malyon and Chris Bentley, the FIA's head of information systems strategy, discussed the development of the 'remote operations center,' designed to support the race director, in an in-house interview published by the FIA.
