According to an open letter recently published by the Future of Life Institute, more than 1,100 artificial intelligence experts and industry leaders, including Musk, have signed a joint letter calling for the suspension of training artificial intelligence more powerful than GPT-4. Intelligent system at least half a year.
We call on all AI labs to immediately suspend the training of AI systems stronger than GPT-4 for at least 6 months.
This suspension should be public and verifiable, and include all key players. If such a moratorium cannot be implemented quickly, the government should step in and suspend it.
Potential risks to future humans and society
As for the reasons why so many experts signed against it, the letter explained: a large amount of research coupled with the recognition of top AI laboratories, AI systems with human competitive intelligence may pose profound risks to society and humans.
At the same time, people are reminded that they should be cautious about non-human thinking that may eventually surpass us or even replace us, because they may lose control of civilization. The letter emphasizes:
Robust AI systems should only be developed when we are confident that their effects are positive and their risks manageable.
Musk plans to develop a ChatGPT competitor
It is worth noting that when Musk repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with OpenAI becoming a money-making machine for Microsoft, it was also reported at the end of February that he had contacted a number of artificial intelligence (AI) researchers.
Discuss the possibility of setting up a new research laboratory to develop a replacement for ChatGPT, but it is reported that the project is still in its early stages and there is no clear plan to develop specific products.
