Over the next 12 months, artificial intelligence, working in collaboration with humans, could make a scientific discovery that wins a Nobel Prize.

This was reported by The Guardian, citing a speech given by Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, at the University of Oxford.

He predicts that within 18 months, companies fully controlled by AI will emerge, generating millions of dollars in revenue, and by the end of 2028, AI systems will be able to develop their own next generations.

Clark noted that the technology still carries the potential for global existential risks. He said that commercial and geopolitical rivalry between different countries and market players is hindering the pace of development.

Meanwhile, Edward Harkort, director of the Institute for Ethics in AI, stated that algorithms performing an ever-increasing number of tasks on behalf of humans could lead to a decline in people’s ability to make decisions independently, and advocated for the development of models that require greater cognitive engagement from humans.

Clark’s most conservative scenario envisages the separation of the machine economy from the human economy, the automation of scientific research, and the creation of technology never seen before.

He urged society to prepare for future changes, as a lack of regulation on the spread of AI will force humanity merely to react to the consequences.

What was that? An unidentified object was spotted flying over Kyiv at night (video)

Late in the evening of 19 April, a bright object was spotted streaking across the sky above Kyiv. Social media users agreed that it was either a meteor or a comet — the Lyrid meteor shower is currently underway. However, some suggested that it was linked to the launch of an American rocket into space.
