This is stated in a letter posted on a nonprofit’s website. future of life.
The authors of the letter, including Musk and Wozniak, pointed to risks to humanity due to the further development of artificial intelligence systems with “human-competitive intelligence.” They called for a complete suspension of training of any AI system for six months.
“Strong AI systems should only be developed when we are confident that their impact will be positive and their risks will be manageable,” Metin says.
The appeal was also signed by Pinterest co-founder Evan Sharp, Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, Stability AI CEO Emad Mostak, and researchers from DeepMind, Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge universities.
The letter describes the potential risks of “very smart” AI systems to society and civilization in the form of economic and political upheavals.
“Should we develop ‘non-human minds’ that can ultimately outnumber us, outrank us, and replace us? Should we risk losing control of our civilization? Such decisions should not be delegated to unelected technology leaders,” the authors of the letter noted.
Previous analysts of the American bank Goldman Sachs estimatedIn the next 10 years, approximately 300 million vacancies will be lost in the global labor market thanks to artificial intelligence.
