Sense & Signal: Leading Through Sensemaking

Last week the Biden adm8nistration released an Executive Order addressing the safety, security, and trustworthiness of artificial intelligence. In this Sense & Signal leadership and sensemaking micro podcast, Dan takes a dive into this executive order on artificial intelligence - especially where the administration fears danger. He discussed the section on dual use foundation models like ChatGPT, cybersecurity, AI model weights, and threats of AI models like ChatGPT being used for bio-terrorism if their weights are released. He also looks at some research on spicy AI models that provided people with the ingredients to recreate the Spanish influenza virus. He also weighs whether our fears of artificial intelligence models like ChatGPT are justified or not.
