As we’ve seen in the last few months, the possibilities for AI are endless and are just beginning to be explored. But as AI development accelerates, industry experts and leaders are urging developers and users to be aware of the technology’s potential risks.
UK AI experts recently shared their predictions about the impact of AI on human society. Speaking with BBCEmad Mostak, founder of tech firm Stability AI, has warned that AI could become far more capable than humans and eventually dominate humanity. He believes that democracy could be threatened if robots become more capable than humans.
“My personal take is that it’s going to be like the movie ‘Her’ with Scarlett Johansson and Joaquin Phoenix where humans are kind of boring and say ‘Bye, you’re kind of boring’. I might be wrong.
“If there are agents out of our control, more capable than we are, connected through the internet and achieving levels of automation, what does that mean? and basically take control of humanity, because millions of things could be effectively replicated, but we don’t know,” he said.
He added that governments need to take action and put in place policies to limit the power of AI, saying AI could have a bigger impact on the economy than the COVID-19 pandemic. rice field.
Despite the risks, Mostak said the potential benefits of AI in almost every part of our lives could be enormous. He believes that disappearing jobs will be replaced by better ones, as machines take on menial tasks and allow us to focus on better things. He added that this “is up to us to decide which way it goes.”
Of note, his company developed a tool called Stable Diffusion. This tool uses AI to analyze photos found online and create images from simple text instructions.
A computer scientist often referred to as the “godfather of artificial intelligence” recently left Google to speak out about the dangers of technology. He said progress in this area poses “significant risks to society and humanity.”
In March, tech billionaire Elon Musk and various experts called for a pause in the development of AI systems to allow time to secure them. The open letter, signed by more than 1,000 people, including Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, comes in the wake of the release of GPT-4, a more powerful version of the technology used by ChatGPT.
