OpenAI head Sam Altman said that artificial intelligence is an existential risk to humanity, so it is worth creating an international body similar to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to control such developments. Agency reports Associated press.
“We face a serious risk. The challenge facing the world is how to manage these risks and how to make sure we can continue to enjoy the enormous benefits of artificial intelligence. “No one wants to destroy our world,” said the senior executive of the startup that created the ChatGPT chatbot.
Altman suggested establishing an organization to monitor artificial intelligence during his visit to the United Arab Emirates. Popular chatbot ChatGPT answers user questions using generative AI technology. Microsoft has invested nearly $1 billion in OpenAI.
Heads of IT giants in May warnedthat the artificial intelligence technologies they are working on could one day pose an existential threat to humanity and should be treated as a risk equal to pandemics and nuclear wars.
To draw attention to the problem, experts prepared and signed an open letter. Its authors include senior executives from three leading companies in AI: Sam Altman, president of OpenAI, Demis Hassabis, president of Google DeepMind, and Dario Amodei, president of Anthropic.
