    Could AI attribution address consciousness, concentrated power, alignment and job loss?

    A user argues that controlling whose pre-training data shapes each output token could change AI’s economics and values.

    TLDR

    A user argues that if people could identify and control whose pre-training data shapes each output token, problems involving AI consciousness, concentrated power, value alignment and job loss would largely go away. They propose paying workers when AI uses their ideas, while noting that some unionization might be needed to help workers whose ideas overlap.

    @iamtrask🌶️ Want to solve AI consciousness, concentration of power, value alignment, and job loss?.... solve AI attribution. If AI attribution gets solved... like *really* solved... as in you can know/control whose pre-training data impacts each output token... these problems/puzzles largely go away. Here's a whirlwind tour: - AI consciousness: hard to argue something is conscious when you can literally tweak whose mental models are being used to create the output. AI becomes more like a telephone for listening to huge numbers of people at a time (e.g. the whole internet). - Concentration of power: hard to concentrate power when you can see which data holders' inputs are being combined to produce your output tokens. This would change the economics and politics of AI training/inference dramatically. - Value alignment: in the end, AI is aligned to the values of the data it comes from. If you can control that at inference time, you can control what values are embedded in tokens. And humans already have huge amounts of infrastructure for grouping other humans by values (i.e. the social graph / web of trust). - Job loss: hard to lose your income to AI if you get paid when AI uses your ideas to do your job. Yeah we might need some unionization to help workers with correlated ideas benefit from the IP commons but this is solvable. Want to solve these problems? Solve AI attribution.9h
