Cognitive scientist Gary Marcus says AI must be regulated. He has a plan.
Live MintCognitive scientist, author and entrepreneur Gary Marcus was an early and vocal critic of large language models, arguing their limitations were far greater than many people thought. “The hype has led the average person to think these things are magic, but they’re not," said Marcus, a professor emeritus at New York University who founded Geometric Intelligence in 2014. “One of the craziest things that I mentioned in my book is that some senators and Congress tried to pass a law saying you couldn’t use AI to make nuclear weapon decisions without a human in the loop and they couldn’t pass that," Marcus said. Here are highlights of Marcus’s discussion with The Wall Street Journal: WSJ: How do you assess the limitations of large language models, the foundation for things like text-based generative AI? There’s no government procedure to say, ‘Hey, slow down here, let’s make sure this thing is OK.’ I would emphasize having some kind of AI agency for the United States.
