How much of a threat is Artificial Intelligence?
A group of tech and industry experts have written an open letter warning of possible risks with Artificial Intelligence.
It was in response to OpenAI’s recent release of GPT-4, a more advanced successor than its widely used AI chatbot ChatGPT3.
The letter goes on to say; Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive, and their risks will be manageable. This pause should be public and verifiable and include all key actors.
But will this happen?
Too late to regulate? Alarm over phenomenal rise of artificial intelligence.
Maybe we are not as smart as we think we are. We thought technology would set us free, liberate us from menial tasks, democratize access to information and knowledge. We marvelled at our ability to connect instantaneously to whoever, wherever, whenever.
We even fell for the illusion that each one of us is our own brand with a global reach. Beyond the way the digital age plays tricks on the human mind comes an even bigger threat.
