According to news on May 30, 350 executives, researchers and engineers in the AI industry have signed an open letter expressing concern that AI technology will pose an existential threat to mankind. The letter, issued by the non-profit Center for Artificial Intelligence Safety, contains only one sentence: “Reducing the risk of extinction from artificial intelligence should become a global priority, alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. .”
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, three AI company executives, and 2018 Turing Award winners Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio have signed the letter.
Since ChatGPT kicked off the AI boom, concerns about the potential risks of the technology have continued to grow. This open letter has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions, and it has also enabled people to have more in-depth thinking and discussions on the development and application of AI technology.
The statement, issued by the Center for Artificial Intelligence Safety, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that believes AI poses an existential threat to humanity, is a new warning. The entire statement is only one sentence, and the full content is as follows:
“Reducing the risk of extinction from AI should become a global priority, alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”
Earlier, Musk teamed up with more than a thousand leaders from industry and academia to issue a joint announcement on the website of the “Future of Life Institute”. The open letter mainly conveys two aspects of information: one is to warn of the potential threat of artificial intelligence to human society, and it is required to immediately suspend the training of any artificial intelligence system stronger than GPT-4, with a time span of at least 6 months. The second is to call on the entire field of artificial intelligence and policy makers to jointly design a comprehensive artificial intelligence governance system to supervise and review the development of artificial intelligence technology.
