After the massive development that started to enter the AI world, in particular with the latest version of GBT Chat, American billionaire Elon Musk and a group of AI experts and executives called, in an open letter, to stop for a period of six months from developing systems more powerful than the chat bot (Chat.GPT-4) recently released by OpenAI, citing the potential risks of such applications for society.
The letter from the Future Institute of Life, endorsed by more than 1,000 people, also notes that “strong AI systems should be developed only when we are confident that their effects will be positive and that their risks will be controlled.”
You can replace us
Further, he asked, “Should we allow machines to flood our media outlets with propaganda and lies?…Should we develop non-human minds that could outnumber us and eventually be smarter, outrun and replace us?”
“Such decisions should not be delegated to unelected tech leaders,” he added.
While the Transparency Record of the European Union has revealed that the main lenders of this non-profit organization (Future of Life) are the Musk Foundation, the London-based Founders Pledge Group, as well as the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
No response from OpenAI.
On the other hand, OpenAI has not yet responded to the open letter, which asked to halt the development of artificial intelligence systems until independent experts have worked out common security protocols.
Interestingly, Musk announced earlier this month that “AI makes him very nervous,” even though he’s a founder of the major “Open AI” company and his company, Tesla, uses AI in the’auto- guidance systems.
This message came after the Microsoft-backed OpenAI company unveiled the fourth version of its AI program (GBT Chat) earlier this month (March 2023), which won the admiration of users engaging them in conversations similar to human conversations and helping them compose songs and summarize long documents.
It also came after the European Police Agency (Europol) warned last Monday of the danger of using the app in attempts at electronic fraud, dissemination of disinformation and cybercrime.
