Seems like it's oriented toward lobbying and keeping AI from being regulated.
Good, there's enough fear mongering about it when we don't even know where to start when it comes to building an AGI.
>>"As of today’s launch, companies like Apple, Twitter, Intel and Baidu are missing from the group. Though Apple is said to be enthusiastic about the project, their absence is still notable because the company has fallen behind in artificial intelligence when compared to its rivals — many of which are part of this new group."

Why are you surprised that Apple isn't involved in a field that has no material impact on their business? Outside of Siri and related projects, I don't see where AI/machine learning has any immediate benefits. Twitter and Intel missing seems like something to take note of, but I didn't even think twice about Apple. I'm more surprised GE is missing than Apple.

That's why Apple is out. It doesn't waste it's money.

> This sounds like it was written by some PR person. It probably was. The article is pretty clearly a press release with some touch-up. This happens a lot when the pressure is to be first to publish. Someone gives you a completely-written "story" and off you go.
That quote wasn't from the article, it was from the org website ( http://www.partnershiponai.org/faq/ ).

Lockheed Martin, their revenue stream isn't based on mining your personal information and communications. With Google at the helm there is almost no chance this stuff won't be always executing on their servers rather than in your device alone.
But their revenue stream is generated from war.

> revenue stream isn't based on mining your personal information and communications Oh, it is! Not only that, but their revenue stream is mining that data and handing it over to the government: http://www.atl.external.lmco.com/business/ATL10.php

It's only fear mongering if it's deliberate for some ulterior end. If spreading concern is only motivated by protecting the human race from destroying itself--that would be a reasonable thing to talk about. Who's benefiting from urging caution about potential bad outcomes for AGI?
Every single person working in a position on the cusp of automation.
The same thing happens with any new technology that threatens massive industries. (automobiles, airplanes, electricity, heating oil, etc)

Whether right or wrong, I think it's good to keep in mind that Apple has, by far the highest quarterly profit and total asset value, compared to any of these companies - it really is a giant among giants. Alphabet certainly has an excellent future outlook (reflected in the markets), but its current financial state still pales in comparison to Apple. Taking this into account, I figure Apple thinks twice and thrice bef…
I also don't think of them as a straight technology company, but more of a best of breed product company focused on a great user experience. In that sense, high risk, long term investments that don't have an immediate application don't fit their profile.
somehow i put them in the same category as LG, Samsung and Sony, albeit 100x better at what they do.
