A high-ranking expert warns of the danger of developing artificial intelligence systems
A high-ranking AI researcher has issued a warning about the potential for global extinction that AI's superior technology could bring.
He pointed out that stopping the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems around the world and harshly punishing those who violate the ban is the only way to save humanity from extinction.
Eliezer Yudkovsky, a leading researcher in the field of artificial intelligence and co-founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI), claimed that “everyone on Earth will die” unless we stop the development of superintelligence systems.
He said he knew exactly how "dangerous and horrific this technology was".
In an opinion piece for Time magazine published last Wednesday, Yudkovsky, 43, explained why he did not sign a petition calling for "all AI labs to immediately stop, for at least six months, training AI systems more powerful than GPT." -4 (a large multimedia language paradigm, released by OpenAI earlier this month)".
Yudkovsky said the March 29 petition by leading OpenAI experts, signed by the likes of Elon Musk and Apple founder Steve Wozniak, was "asking very little to solve the problem Any developments represented by uncontrolled speed in artificial intelligence.
Yudkovsky considers the threat so great that he argues that extinction by AI should be "a priority over preventing a full nuclear exchange".
As a result, he warned of the chances of building a supernatural artificial intelligence, and that everyone on earth would die.
He said that survival with a computer system that "has no interest in us or sentient life in general" requires "precision, preparation and new scientific insights" that humanity lacks at present and is unlikely to obtain in the foreseeable future.
The Yudkovsky Verve added a statement admitting that we are not ready for how to teach and care for AI. You literally don't know yet, and this is a danger to society.
Instead, the stark fact is that in a robot you're made of atoms that a robot can use for something else. And if someone builds an artificial intelligence so powerful that, under the present circumstances, I would expect every member of the human race and all biological life to perish at all. Earth shortly thereafter.
"AIs that are smart enough will not be confined to computers for long," Yudkovsky revealed. What this means, he explained, is that scientists can mistakenly create "really conscious digital minds," which creates ethical dilemmas such that these (digital) sentient beings have rights and cannot be owned.
And in confirmation of what this pioneering researcher said, we have to impose a complete and unlimited ban and closure on the main departments that define everything related to artificial intelligence around the world, until another slogan due to the clear and realistic threat to key jobs. comp. He stressed that "there can be no exceptions, including for governments or armies."
Yudkowski insisted that international deals should be signed to cap the amount of computing power a person could use to train such systems.
