AgentGPT and task, near future interface?

When GPT can exercise tasks and goals, like in AutoGPT and AgentGPT it becomes of greater utility. One of the interesting things is to look at the ability of it to create reasoned tasks to obtain it's goal. In the video above the agent is asked to 'search for the cheapest Toyota Corolla in the United States'. The agent's own task list is impressive, going beyond it's given remit in useful ways.

I imagine that in a few months time, Open AI will incorporate something similar into it's own interface, given that prompting is currently more difficult than it could be in providing satisfactory goal achievements. If not in Open AI then Microsoft would benefit from building similar directly into their Edge browser or Bing.

The use case for such goal orientated AI is broad and wide, but I can see it transforming many research orientated tasks in dramatic ways.

The Whispers in the Machine: Why Prompt Injection Remains a Persistent Threat to LLMs

Large Language Models (LLMs) are rapidly transforming how we interact with technology, offering incredible potential for tasks ranging from content creation to complex analysis. However, as these powerful tools become more integrated into our lives, so too do the novel security challenges they present. Among these, prompt injection attacks stand out as a particularly persistent and evolving threat. These attacks, as one recent paper (Safety at Scale: A Comprehensive Survey of Large Model Safety https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.05206) highlights, involve subtly manipulating LLMs to deviate from their intended purpose, and the methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. At its core, a prompt injection attack involves embedding a malicious instruction within an otherwise normal request, tricking the LLM into producing unintended – and potentially harmful – outputs. Think of it as slipping a secret, contradictory instruction into a seemingly harmless conversation. What makes prompt inj...

The AI Dilemma and "Gollem-Class" AIs

From the Center for Humane Technology Tristan Harris and Aza Raskin discuss how existing A.I. capabilities already pose catastrophic risks to a functional society, how A.I. companies are caught in a race to deploy as quickly as possible without adequate safety measures, and what it would mean to upgrade our institutions to a post-A.I. world. This presentation is from a private gathering in San Francisco on March 9th with leading technologists and decision-makers with the ability to influence the future of large-language model A.I.s. This presentation was given before the launch of GPT-4. One of the more astute critics of the tech industry, Tristan Harris, who has recently given stark evidence to Congress. It is worth watching both of these videos, as the Congress address gives a context of PR industry and it's regular abuses. "If we understand the mechanisms and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without their...

Podcast Soon Notice

I've been invited to make a podcast around the themes and ideas presented in this blog. More details will be announced soon. This is also your opportunity to be involved in the debate. If you have a response to any of the blog posts posted here, or consider an important issue in the debate around AGI is not being discussed, then please get in touch via the comments. I look forward to hearing from you.
