The Future of AI Safety Levels & The Agents are Coming!
In this weeks episode, Hosts James and Yoshi dive into the latest in AI, exploring safety-first approaches, the rise of AI agents, the evolving AI skills gap, and the potential for monopolies in the construction industry.
Key Topics
Anthropic are safety first
- Anthropic aims to raise the floor in AI development with healthy competition to drive innovation
- However, AI’s potential misuse and autonomy necessitates robust governance frameworks.
- Anthropic’s AI safety levels (ASL’s) are crucial for responsible AI deployment.
- And they have deployed a Responsible Scaling Plan with if-and-then safety protocols
- However, the EU's AI regulations may not align with these industry practices.
Agents are the future, but are they the present?
- The future of AI agents promises greater automation and efficiency.
- Organisations are increasingly adopting AI agents for various functions.
- Automation reduces lag time in communication and project execution.
- AI agents can autonomously analyse and reallocate resources in projects.
- Performance and reliability of agentic systems are critical concerns.
The AI skill gap is evolving
- There is a significant skills gap in understanding AI technologies.
- Effective implementation of AI requires phased approaches and upskilling.
- And the complexity of AI systems is rapidly increasing.
Is an AI monopoly forming in construction?
- Autodesk's tight relationship with the US government raises concerns about market monopolisation.
- This can make it harder for smaller startups to grow
- This also means innovation lies with the monopolising organisation
- Trust in AI systems is influenced by the human element behind them.
