Gary Marcus objects to Sam Altman briefing the UN Security Council on AI: 'Arsonist to write fire code'
Marcus on AI (Gary Marcus)·low signal
Marcus responded to reports that Altman was set to brief the UN Security Council on AI by comparing it to letting an organized-crime figure brief law enforcement. He quotes critic Dominic Romano calling Altman someone who 'doesn't appear to know much about the underlying tech.' This is a single-source opinion piece, and I did not independently confirm the briefing.
