‘Atoms for Algorithms:’ The Trump Administration’s Top Nuclear Scientists Think AI Can Replace Humans in Power Plants

https://www.404media.co/nuclear-rian-bahran-iaea-international-symposium-on-artificial-intelligence/

404 Media develops a skeptical take on an unhinged conference presentation.

TLDR: IAEA appears to be cooked. Peak lunacy is on display.

The comments are full of quality sneers.

Edit: The whole presentation feels like the product of an extended manic episode, it's comoleyely ungrounded from the realities of operating a commercial nuclear power plant.

not really a “human supremacy” issue at hand here. If you don’t know about AI safety/alignment you should probably do some lurking

I wonder what they'll name that nuclear disaster after...

DarkCloud@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 248d

In that case they're probably not "too scientists" due to intelligence.
