Elon Musk Pioneers: Collecting Signatures to Stop Artificial Intelligence!
Elon Musk Pioneers: Collecting Signatures to Stop Artificial Intelligence!
More than 1,100 signatories, including important names such as Elon Musk, want artificial intelligence work to be stopped as soon as possible. Details are here!
More than 1,100 signatories, including Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and Tristan Harris from the Center for Human Technology, “immediately stopped all AI labs from training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least 6 months.” He called and signed an open letter. The letter states:
“Contemporary AI systems can now compete with humans on common tasks, and we must ask ourselves:
Should we let machines fill our information channels with propaganda and false news? Should we automate all jobs, including the satisfying ones? Should we eventually develop nonhuman minds that are outnumbered, intelligent, outdated, and can replace us? Should we risk losing control of our civilization? Such decisions should not be delegated to unelected technology leaders. Strong AI systems should only be developed when we are confident that their impact will be positive and their risks will be manageable.”
Why Artificial Intelligence Studies Want to Be Stopped
The letter states that there is an “unrealized” “level of planning and management” and instead that, in recent months, anonymous “AI labs have embarked on an escape race to develop and deploy more powerful digital brains that even their creators can’t have.” ” can’t understand, predict, or control reliably. “On defense.
The signers of the letter, some of whom are AI experts, say the pause they are demanding “should be public, verifiable and include all key players.” The letter states that “if the pause is not implemented quickly, governments must step in and initiate a moratorium.”
Interestingly, some engineers from Meta and Google, Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of Stability AI, and non-tech, including those who did not sign the letter as much as those who signed the letter. For example, no one from OpenAI behind the native language model GPT-4 signed this letter. Nor did Anthropic, which left OpenAI to create a “safer” AI chatbot.
