interview Paul Jorion: “With AI, we have created something that is more intelligent than we are”. Paul Jorion has been working on artificial intelligence at British Telecom since the 1980s ©BELGAIMAGE Marc Lambrechts March 5th 2024 Paul Jorion talks about the moment of technological “singularity”, when AI surpasses human intelligence and even acquires consciousness. Anthropologist and economist Paul Jorion has already published a number of books. His latest work, published on 6 March, is devoted to artificial intelligence (AI): “L’avènement de la singularité. L’humain ébranlé par l’intelligence artificielle” (1). But Paul Jorion is not just an author. He also co-founded…
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) After submitting to GPT-4 the questions we had debated, Claude 3, split into “Claude 1” and “Claude 2”, and I, I thought it would be a good idea for me to let them know their colleague’s assessment to see if it would give them any new ideas. Paul: I hope you won’t be offended but I turned to GPT-4 and asked him to assess some of the conclusions we had reached. What do you think of his assessment? Claude 3: Claude 1: Wow, that’s a fascinating and comprehensive analysis from GPT-4. I’m not at all offended…
Illustration by DALL·E from the text As announced in the previous post where GPT-4 took stock of the discussion I had with Claude 3 about the P vs NP conjecture, GPT-4 turned its attention to another dimension of this debate: the ability or otherwise of Large Language Models to propose paradigm shifts. Here, according to GPT-4, is the outcome of my conversation with Claude 3 on this subject. Paul’s perspective on the need for a new paradigm if epistemic classes do not manifest introduces a radical yet potentially transformative challenge. It invites us to reconsider the foundational principles underlying computational…
Illustration by DALL·E from the text Over the past few days, I’ve published a series of four posts devoted to the P vs NP conjecture. I had chosen the formula of proposing my provisional conclusions to AI Claude 3, encouraging it to question them and helping me, if possible, to develop them further. You can find this under the shape of P vs NP: I’ve hired two new staff, April 6th P vs NP exposed?, April 7th P vs NP: a new paradigm is needed for problem solving, April 8th P vs NP: Research program for an alternative in problem…
Illustration by DALL·E from the text This post is the fourth episode of my collaboration with Claude 3, split into “Claude 1” and “Claude 2”, about the P vs NP conjecture. 1. P vs NP: I’ve hired two new staff!. 2. P vs NP exposed?. 3. In P vs NP: a new paradigm is needed for problem solving we had come to the conclusion that the approach to problem solving underlying the P vs NP conjecture is unsatisfactory because it focuses on abstract computational steps, ignoring the complexity of the interactive and embodied processes involved in finding and recognizing solutions.…
Illustration by DALL·E from the text This post is the third episode of my collaboration with Claude 3, split into “Claude 1” and “Claude 2”, about the P vs NP conjecture. In P vs NP: I’ve hired two new staff!, we came to the tentative conclusion that the implicit assumption that solving a problem and validating its solution are processes of the same nature, between which the notion of computational complexity would provide a bridge, was unsatisfactory. In P vs NP exposed?, Claude 1 determined, and I quote: “that an epistemic critique of the P vs NP problem could lead…
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post entitled P vs NP: I’ve hired two new staff! Let me remind you that I asked Claude 3 to split into two, which he or she did and now intervenes under the names “Claude 1” and “Claude 2”. They are making progress in their discussion of the P vs NP conjecture and occasionally turn to me for advice. Yesterday we came to the tentative conclusion that “differences in the nature of solving and verifying could have implications for how we interpret the practical significance of the P vs NP…
Illustration by DALL·E (+PJ) I’ve already had the occasion to explain that Yu Li, a lecturer at the Université de Picardie, approached me a few years back, asking me to give her a hand in solving the P vs NP conjecture (her attention had been drawn to the way I’d been able to shed light on a classic paradox of Chinese logic: “A white horse is not a horse”). I’ve kept you updated on the progress of our work. I have now recruited two collaborators. As far as publication is concerned, I’ll continue to proceed as before: under the shape…
DALL·E Illustration from the post I’ve spoken to you several times recently about free-will according to mathematician-physicist Stephen Wolfram. I spoke about it at the CNIL on November 28, and I spoke about it again here a few days ago in a post entitled Le libre-arbitre: réalité ou illusion? Stephen Wolfram and the “epistemic artifact”. Now, a few days ago, one of you wrote to me to point out what Wolfram thinks of this question according to the PI chatbot from the firm Incentive, and I’m taken aback to see that it doesn’t sound like what I’m saying. A few…
