I’m building an organization to do exactly what you mentioned. It’s an AI oversight watchdog that will work closely with policy makers, businesses, and the public to help ensure that people are properly trained, informed, and protected.

If you’re interested in participating send me a DM. We’re laying the ground work to become an official NGO

Its gonna turn into a security/defence-issue, if it haven't already.

You can not stop developing or using the most powerful tool (for everything) in the world - unless your advisory do the same.

If you look at the world right now its not exactly looking like world leaders will sit down and agree on anything. There is zero trust and willingness to co-operate because no-one has the same goal it seems. One part of the world still dabbles in versions of either autocracy or theocracy, while the other part is trying to make democracy not break down as a result of un-regulated capitalism, greed and soon climate change.

AI is gonna ignite change.

Lets hope its good - and not just more efficient killing tools like we are already seeing drones becoming in all conflicts.

I am fully aware of all of these beings have a very complex language and can trade ideas... But truly how complex is this language?

I think I agree with your second theory. The more complex the neural net, The more it functions as a receiver of consciousness. If language really is just another tool that we've invented to understand our model of the world, It's the best tool we've created so far by far. Literally nothing compares. Except maybe math, and we still trade the ideas in math in language (the math notation) We still invented language for math, so that we could standardize a way to communicate mathematical ideas.

If language is just a tool, it's a tool for literally everything, including "truth" through math

But yeah this is all speculation
