when i was in high school “terminator” The movie has been released.
I didn’t go to the theater to see the movie. I’m not a fan of action movies or science fiction.
Years later, when I was dating the man I would eventually marry, I was going from station to station looking for a good show and suddenly it popped up.
The moment I heard the excitement of my boyfriend at the time “terminator,” I knew immediately what I was going to see for the next two hours.
If you haven’t seen it, the Terminator is “Cyborg Assassin” Disguised as a human, he travels from 2029 to 1984 and kills Sarah Connor to prevent the birth of her future son. Soldiers sent to protect women “Human Resistance”. In the film’s post-apocalyptic future, most of humanity has already been annihilated in the 1997 nuclear war caused by an artificial intelligence known as . “Skynet”. The survivors, led by Sarah Connor’s grown son, are fighting a genocidal war against humanity by a sentient computer system and annihilation.
It’s very romantic and funny.
I remember thinking how crazy this movie was. But isn’t the purpose of science fiction to propel you into improbable future situations?
Please take care of yourself. The future is now.
Last week, scientists and technology industry leaders, including senior executives at Microsoft and Google, issued renewed warnings about the dangers artificial intelligence poses to humanity.
“Reducing the risk of AI-induced extinction should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” said in a statement published by the Associated Press.
Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, and computer scientist Jeffrey Hinton, known as the godfather of artificial intelligence, were among the hundreds of key people who signed the statement. include.
The rise of a new generation of highly capable AI chatbots such as ChatGPT has raised concerns that artificial intelligence systems will outsmart humans and go berserk. For this reason, countries around the world are scrambling to develop regulations for developing technologies.
“Diverse people at top universities in various disciplines are concerned about this and believe it is a global priority.” said Dan Hendricks, executive director of the San Francisco-based nonprofit Center for AI Safety, which organized the move. “So we had to call people out of the closet, so to speak, on this issue because a lot of them were talking to each other in silence.”
More than 1,000 researchers and engineers, including Elon Musk, signed a lengthy letter earlier this year calling for a six-month moratorium on AI development. ‘A serious risk to society and humanity’
The letter was a response to OpenAI’s release of a new AI model, GPT-4, but was not signed by OpenAI executives, partner Microsoft and rival Google, rejecting the industry’s call for a voluntary moratorium. The Associated Press reported.
While last week’s statement did not propose specific remedies, some have suggested the creation of an international regulator in line with the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency’s policy.
Indeed, some critics believe that the dire warnings about existential risks expressed by AI makers overstate the capabilities of their products and call for faster regulation to curb real-world problems. complains that it contributes to distraction from
Hendricks said there is no reason society cannot manage the problem. ‘Immediate and ongoing damage’ while generating new text and images, “There could be catastrophe around the corner.”
He compared this to the people nuclear scientists in the 1930s “We haven’t fully developed the bomb yet.”
Now, you may remember that I recently wrote a column discussing the risks associated with AI, especially those associated with the journalism industry. However, I pointed out that despite the rapid evolution of technology, it is unlikely that robots will soon be scurrying around to collect first-hand information like reporters. I also wondered if they would be able to build trust, develop news sources and stay informed. “A fake metal finger that keeps track of the pulse of community events.”
Yes, I still believe so, at least for now. But the future may be closer than I originally thought.
