On October 23, according to the British Financial Times, public figures such as Steve Bannon, Megan Markle and Stephen Fry are forming a coalition with various other actors to appeal against what is called "the ‘Absolute”superintelligence"Research and development is prohibited to resist advancedAISystem development。
1AI NOTED THAT MORE THAN 800 PEOPLE, INCLUDING AI SCIENTISTS, POLITICIANS, CELEBRITIES AND RELIGIOUS LEADERS, SIGNED A STATEMENTTo stop the development of "super intelligence" (i.e. an artificial intelligence system that is intellectually superior to most humans)I don't know. The statement states: “We call for the prohibition of super-intellectual research and development, which should not be lifted until there is broad scientific consensus that its development can be carried out in a safe and manageable manner and with general public support.”
Among the signatories were Jeffrey Hinton and Joshua Bengio, the former President of Ireland Mary Robinson, and Prince Harry。
The non-profit advocacy organization Future of Life Institute, FLI, released this open letter on Wednesday, along with a public opinion survey: only 51 TP3T Americans support the current “unregulated state of artificial intelligence development”. According to the survey conducted by the organization, nearly three quarters of respondents supported strong regulation of artificial intelligence。
The President of the Institute, Max Tegmark, said: “It is our common humanity that binds all together ... And more and more people are beginning to realize that the greatest threat may come not from another company, or even from another country, but from the machinery that we are building ourselves.”
at present,A number of leading technology giants, including OpenAI, Meta and Google, and start-ups of artificial intelligence are competing to spearhead a breakthrough in “super-intelligence” or “general-intelligence” (AGI)I don't know. These terms usually refer to artificial intelligence systems that outperform human beings in the vast majority of missions。
In March 2023, five months after ChatGPT was released, a similar statement issued by FLI called for a six-month moratorium on all artificial intelligence research and development was signed by specialists such as Elon Musk. However, Mask's xAI company is now continuously advancing the development of artificial intelligence systems。
Tegmak stressed that the scope of this latest statement has become more focused, and that there is a need for a new, more focused statement“never call for a complete moratorium on artificial intelligence development”I don't know. He added that “cancer cure, auto-driving, or a significant increase in productivity and efficiency cannot be achieved by relying on super intelligence.”
The statement was also signed by several prominent Chinese scientistsAmong them, the Turing winner, Yao Zheng Jiu, and former president Zhang YaqinI don't know. Other signatories included former senior officials of the United States Government: Susan Rice, former national security adviser, and Mike Mullen, who had served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States Army。
Tegmak said, “Whether in the West or in China, the loss of control is considered a national security threat. For their own benefit, they will all oppose out of control, so they need no trust at all.”
Other signatories included the co-founder of Apple Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of the Virgin Group Richard Branson, and faith leaders from all major religions。
The process of regulation of artificial intelligence globally is slow. Despite strong criticism from industry, the most advanced legislative framework, the EU AI Act, is being implemented in stages. In the United States, specific laws targeting artificial intelligence have been enacted in California, Utah and Texas。
