0: 350 Tech experts, including the leaders of ai,
have issued a warning saying that AI or artificial intelligence poses the
risk of extinction. This was a statement that was issued, uh,
by the Center for AI Safety in San Francisco, which is, uh,
advocacy group for more guardrails, uh, on, uh, artificial intelligence,
the so-called godfather of ai, Jeffrey Hinton.
I think his concern and the concerns of the leaders of companies,
including Google's Deep Mind program, open ai, of course,
which does chat G P T,
is that the technology is advancing so fast that they don't really know what's
gonna happen with it. Um,
Hinton in particular said that he was concerned that AI was beginning
to almost have these rudimentary abilities to think like a person to sort of,
you know, do it, think for itself.
And the concern there is if it's able to really think for itself, um, you know,
what, what's gonna happen next. The Biden administration just released a big,
uh, initiative to work with, uh,
private sector companies with academics to really get a handle on this.
They're trying to create seven academic centers around the country to study
particular aspects of this. Congress is trying to weigh the pros and cons.
They're holding hearings on this, of course, but right now,
I think we're still in the early stages of that. This is a very, very difficult,
if not impossible thing to regulate because it's changing so fast and it's so
complicated and complex that, you know,
there's not that many people that really,
really understand the nuts and bolts of it. I think that it's gonna be, um,
almost like the internet was years ago.
Right now it's in the experimental stages,
but it'll become so much a part of our lives that it'll be infused in almost
everything we do.
So I think that there's a lot of people that are saying that this is some sort
of scaremongering. I think that the people that signed the statement,
what they're saying is we just have to be cautious.
We don't know what's gonna happen,
and we have to make sure that we prepare for the worst case scenarios and the
abuse of artificial intelligence. You know,
see how we can protect ourselves from that.
