OpenAI is forming a team to control the ‘superintelligence’

• OpenAI fears superintelligent AI could lead to the extinction of humanity.
• The company is assembling teams to align hyper-intelligent AI with human interests.
• We spend 20% of our computing power on this, not just recruiting our team.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is very concerned about the potential dangers of AI that is smarter than humans, and hopes that these advanced systems work for the benefit of humans, not against them. We are forming a new team to guarantee.

In a July 5 blog post, OpenAI said that while “ultra-intelligent” artificial intelligence still seems a long way off, it could be here within a decade.

In a blog post, OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever and Jan Leike, co-head of the new team, said, “At the moment, there are no solutions available to pilot or control potentially hyper-intelligent AI and prevent AI from cheating. No,” he writes.

And while this technology could help solve many of the world’s most pressing problems, superintelligent AI “could lead to the disempowerment or even the extinction of humanity,” the authors said. writes.

A new team called Super Alignment plans to develop an AI with human-level intelligence that can supervise a super-intelligent AI within the next four years.

OpenAI is currently recruiting a team. In a blog post, the company said it plans to devote 20% of its computing power to the research.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has long called on regulators to address AI risks as a global priority.

In May, Altman, along with hundreds of other key figures in the tech industry, said, “Reducing the risk of AI-induced extinction is a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. He signed an open letter containing the sentence, “It should be.”

Other tech industry figures, including Elon Musk, have also sounded the alarm about regulation of AI, calling for a six-month moratorium on AI development, which some see as a ploy by Musk to catch up. there were.

Admittedly, not everyone shares OpenAI’s concerns about future problems posed by super-intelligent AI.

In a letter published March 31 by the Decentralized AI Institute, a prominent AI ethicist called attention to specific current problems that AI companies are currently exacerbating.
