A clip from my news feed today that is worth sharing and discussion:
Twitter CEO Elon Musk and Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak are among the tech leaders who signed an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on the development of advanced A.I. systems. Over 1100 signatories urged technology companies to cease training A.I. systems that would be “more powerful than GPT-4,” which is the latest large language processing A.I. developed by OpenAI. Musk, a cofounder of OpenAI, broke with the company in 2018, and has been critical of the company since then. The letter cites risks with A.I. systems such as GPT-4 “becoming human-competitive at general tasks,” and being used to generate misinformation on a massive scale as well as the mass automation of jobs. The letter says that decisions about A.I. “must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders” and that more powerful A.I. systems should only “be developed once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable.”
