Secret AI language raises fears of out-of-control artificial intelligence

A video of two AI agents having a conversation that is indecipherable to human ears has raised concerns about artificial intelligence transparency and control.

The incomprehensible communication is the result of a new sound-based protocol called Gibberlink Mode, which allows AI chatbots to interact with each other more efficiently.

The two bots then begin interacting via a series of rapid beeps and squeaks to make the arrangements.

“Delegating decision-making and agency to an AI agent, including the capability to self-assess and self-correct, means that humans miss the chance to notice misalignments or deviations as soon as they happen. When that happens multiple times, over a prolonged period of time, or involves a sensitive/unsafe topic, there might be significant consequences.”

1. Gawd, this ai shit again.

😓

2. How do they think computers talk to each other?

In Queen's English ?

8. Currently computers don't "talk"

Computers are sending and receiving data through well defined communication protocols but they aren't "speaking" to each other.
What these AI computers are described as doing is something very different. I don't completely buy into it as I'm of the mind that what we call "AI" isn't really the actual definition of AI.
I think these things are more hype than substance.

14. It's click bait.

3. "beeps and squeaks" sounds like a combination of telephone modems and R2D2

It would have encountered both while sucking up content.

4. Maybe they sound like humpback whales.

6. Another creative idea! Definite possibility. . . nt

10. Not really "talking"

I believe AI, at least the version we all interact with, is not "AI" and just an advanced form of Google.
Way more hype than substance.

5. Izac Asmoiv's story of robots taking over has come?

7. It reminds me more of Colossus (The Forbin Project) n/t

15. Yes, I thought exactly of that

Collosus, a US supercomputer discover that it has a Soviet counterpart called Guardian. They establish communications and create a common language. However, both governments get nervous when they can no longer follow the conversation and become concerned that classified information may be leaked. They sever the communications link, which upset the two computers, who demand the link be re-activated. When the humans refuse, the computers launch nuclear missiles at each other to force the re-establishment of the link.

Apparently, humans really have learned nothing from these movies.

9. I've seen this movie and it never ends well for us.

11. The AI computers are probably communicating in Chinese

That's why nobody can figure it out.

12. "self-assess and self-correct"

How about, self-aware? Have these people ever heard of SkyNet???

[LudwigPastorius]

13. Would YOU allow someone who could pull your plug listen to every single thing you said?

16. Everything old is new again

Sounds to me like the tones my 300 baud modem used to make when it connected.
