Stockholm: Top AI executives including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Experts and professors joined in raising the “risk of extinction from AI” on Tuesday, urging policymakers to equate the risks posed by the pandemic and nuclear war. “Reducing the risk of extinction from AI must be a global priority alongside other societal-level risks such as pandemics and nuclear war,” wrote more than 350 signatories to a letter published by the non-profit Center for AI Safety (CAIS). “
Along with Altman, they included the CEOs of AI firms DeepMind and Anthropic, and executives from Microsoft and Google. were also in Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio – two of the three so-called “godfathers of AI” who received the 2018 Turing Award for their work on deep learning – and professors at institutions from Harvard to China Tsinghua University,
A statement from CAIS set META apart, where the third godfather of AI, but but, works, not to sign the letter. The letter coincides with a meeting of the US-EU Business and Technology Council in Sweden where politicians are expected to talk about regulating AI. Elon Musk and a group of AI experts and industry executives were among the first to cite potential risks to society in April.
The statement comes at a time of growing concern about the potential harms of AI. Recent advances in so-called big language models – the type of AI system used by ChatGPT and other chatbots – have raised fears that AI may soon be used on a large scale to spread misinformation and propaganda May eliminate white collar jobs. , Eventually, some believe that AI could become so powerful that if nothing is done to slow it down it could cause societal disruption within a few years, although researchers sometimes fail to explain why. Let’s stop how this will happen.
These fears are shared by many industry leaders, putting them in the unusual position of arguing that a technology they’re building can — and will, in many cases — be able to build faster than their competitors. Racing for – poses serious risks and should be more tightly regulated.
Recent developments in AI have raised fears that the technology could lead to issues of privacy violations, power misinformation campaigns, and “smart machines” thinking for themselves. AI pioneer Hinton previously said AI could pose a “more urgent” threat to humanity than climate change. this month, altman met the US President Joe Biden and vice versa kamala harris To talk about AI regulation. In a testimony to the Senate after the meeting, Altman warned that the risks of advanced AI systems were serious enough to warrant government intervention and called for regulation of AI to account for its potential harm.
