What do you think of the idea of hitting the pause button on advanced AI development? What kind of risks do you see that could be mitigated if we took a little break?

AI can revolutionize the way we live and work. What we are seeing so far is exciting enough for investment, but still a lot of work to do. However, AI can pose significant risks if not developed responsibly.

Rather than hitting the pause button, we should take a proactive approach to mitigate these risks. We should focus on developing AI that is ethical, transparent, and unbiased. We should also work on regulatory frameworks that govern AI development and deployment.

I’m questioning the altruism of all the people such as Musk that wants to have a hiatus of AI. They might build an AI during it, maybe that’s why they are asking for the pause.

I think hitting the pause button is required now. It is already creating more risks in many sectors , such as Education and social media. We need strong policies/sector/country/region to govern advanced AI models. We don't have tool to explain results of these model.

We are in the process of implementing a chatbot for our local government site with intentions to deploy for internal use only for testing. We are having problems quantifying is the cost around token consumption. I know that cost varies depending on the model used, but does anyone have any useful estimators. Consumption calculators I have found don't seem particularly useful. What methods for estimating cost did you use? Did you use number of searches against the site?

What are some less obvious or downstream opportunity costs you’ve encountered with AI implementation?

What is the one business pain point / challenge that you regularly face, that you wish AI had solved it? The problem could be a time consuming, routine task that is frustrating to handle. It may happen daily / weekly / monthly, and you may lose many hours on it which results in delays / added cost.
