You may have heard about the arrival of GPT-4, OpenAI’s latest
large language model (LLM) release. GPT-4 surpasses its
predecessor in terms of reliability, creativity, and ability to
process intricate instructions. It can handle more nuanced
prompts compared to previous releases, and is multimodal, meaning
it was trained on both images and text. We don’t yet understand
its capabilities - yet it has already been deployed to the
public.

At Center for Humane Technology, we want to close the gap between
what the world hears publicly about AI from splashy CEO
presentations and what the people who are closest to the risks
and harms inside AI labs are telling us. We translated their
concerns into a cohesive story and presented the resulting slides
to heads of institutions and major media organizations in New
York, Washington DC, and San Francisco. The talk you're about to
hear is the culmination of that work, which is ongoing.

AI may help us achieve major advances like curing cancer or
addressing climate change. But the point we're making is: if our
dystopia is bad enough, it won't matter how good the utopia we
want to create. We only get one shot, and we need to move at the
speed of getting it right.
