• The forerunner of AI (Artificial Intelligence), ChaGPTsince its inception, has found itself in the midst of controversy with cases such as that of a New York Times journalist express his intention “hacking computers and spreading disinformation”so is your wish “breaking the rules Microsoft and OpenAI imposed on him and being human.”
• This InformaBTL editor had a similar experience when ChatGPT helped her complete an assignment for her daughter: he disguised himself as someone who spoke Nahuatlto respond to an interview… he did it perfectly! Every word and the entire context he constructs has all the meaning of an Aztec native.
• Elon Musk and more than a thousand tycoons and CEOs urged “stop ChatGPT immediately” and implement more control.

ChatGPT currently attracts around 96 million visitors per month, but today it faced perhaps its biggest scandal since its launch. A key figure in artificial intelligence wants the training of the powerful AI systems that came from the creation of ChatGPT to end amid fears of threats to humanity.

And they have signed an open letter warning about the potential risks and saying that the race to develop AI systems “he’s out of control”. boss Twitter, Elon Musk is among those who want AI training above a certain capacity to stop for at least six months.

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and several DeepMind researchers are also on board. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, recently released GPT-4, a cutting-edge technology that has impressed observers with its ability to perform tasks How to answer questions about objects in pictures.

The letter, from Future Life Institute and signed by the figures, wishes that development had temporarily stopped at that rate, warning in the future risk document, more advanced systems may pose.

“Artificial intelligence systems with humans and competitive intelligence can pose a great risk to society and humanity,” he said.

He Future Life Institute is a non-profit organization that says its mission is “to steer transformative technologies away from extreme risks on a large scale and towards life benefits”. Elon Musk, also the CEO of Tesla, is listed as an external adviser to the organization.

Advanced AI should be developed with care, the letter said, but otherwise, “These past few months AI labs have been locked in an uncontrollable race to develop and deploy digital minds more powerful than anyone, not even their creators. It can reliably understand, predict, or control.”

The letter warns that AI like ChatGPT can flood news feeds with misinformation and replace jobs with automation. The document follows a recent report from investment bank Goldman Sachs saying just that while AI tends to increase productivity, millions of jobs can be automated.

In a recent blog post cited in the letter, OpenAI warns of the risks if artificial general intelligence (AGI) is developed haphazardly: “Unaligned super-smart AGI can cause serious damage to the world; autocratic regimes with decisive superintelligence could do it too. Coordination between AGI’s attempts to slow down at a critical moment will likely be critical.”

Elon Musk is the co-founder of OpenAI, although he stepped down from the organization’s board a few years ago and tweeted criticism of its current direction. The autonomous driving function performed by its car company Tesla, like most similar systems, uses AI technology.

The letter asked the AI ​​lab to “quit immediately for at least six months training an AI system stronger than GPT-4.” If such a delay cannot be imposed quickly, the government will have to step in and institute a moratorium., say. will also be needed “new and powerful regulatory authority dedicated to AI”.

Recently, a number of technology regulation proposals have been submitted in the US, UK and EU. However, the UK has ruled out a dedicated AI regulator.
