Sam Altman: there’s no “magic red button” to stop AI

... and no magic green button to start it. AI is still in its fancy stage, lots of more innovation needed especially on hardware level. High cost, long training time and need large datasets. All that make this a high entry exclusive only for big corporate. We need more of ambient and light AI which enable small startups and businesses and even individuals to benefit from this revolution. Which means building a whole new stack from ground up and consider edge computing use cases like drones. I faced my the self huge challenges fto optimize AI for edge devices like security cameras and medical devices. It is a completely different and overlooked realm of AI other than what those tech leaders talk about. More specifically critical use cases like military, where connectivity, time and cloud services are limited and decisions has to be made on the end equipment. In space, there are even more challenges of the harsh space environment, where operating big and complex hardware like Nvidia is a challenging task. So, you would need hardware design that is more error tolerant. That all means you have to start at the hardware with completely different architecture that is built today on von Neumann computing style.
