The Trump Justice Department has arrested a California technology-company owner accused of smuggling more than $300 million in restricted American computer servers to China. Prosecutors say the operation used false paperwork and stops in other countries to get around U.S. export controls. That is the central issue here: a shipment’s first destination is not necessarily its final customer. The national-security division announced the arrest while emphasizing the strategic importance of the chips involved: California Man Arrested for Smuggling More Than $300 Million in Export-Controlled Computer Servers to China“SI is the defining technology of the era,” said Assistant Attorney General John...

A new Tavus AI chatbot nearly passes for human in face-to-face interactions, the company claims. Footage posted to X Thursday debuted Tavus’s Griffin chatbot, a first-of-its-kind Human Interaction Model the company says is the first to pass the Turing test, where a human user cannot tell they’re talking to a computer. “48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%,” Tavus wrote on X, adding, “It is #1 on NVIDIA’s benchmark for full-duplex AI video.” \ In one example shared, the model walks a human user through...

Trump made the announcement during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly after he and the White House polled the public on X and Truth Social about potential alternative names. “From this point forward, ⁠all ⁠of United ⁠States documents, ​and hopefully the world’s, will ​be ⁠changed to use the much more accurate term ‘super’ as ⁠opposed to ‘artificial.’ So it’s super ⁠intelligence,” Trump said.

Context: Innovative AI tools may bring unprecedented health and prosperity. However, alongside tools, many leading AI companies have the stated goal of building superintelligence in the coming decade that can significantly outperform all humans on essentially all cognitive tasks. This has raised concerns, ranging from human economic obsolescence and disempowerment, losses of freedom, civil liberties, dignity, and control, to national security risks and even potential human extinction. The succinct statement below aims to create common knowledge of the growing number of experts and public figures who oppose a rush to superintelligence. We call for a prohibition on the development of...
