Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently testified before Congress on the possible dangers and ramifications of ChatGPT and other AI innovations that have grown significantly in popularity in recent months.
According to The Daily Mail, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that developed ChatGPT, recently spoke to Congress about the possible risks and repercussions of ChatGPT and other technologies based on AI that have been enormously popular lately. Legislators expressed alarm about the possible influence of AI models on human history throughout the session, equating these implications to those of the printing press or the nuclear bomb.
“This technology has the potential to go very badly if anything goes wrong, and we want to be clear about that. We want to engage with the government to stop that from occurring,” Altman said, noting his concerns that AI technology abuse might result in serious damage. The first of a series of scheduled conversations aimed at defining AI guidelines, which MPs say should have started sooner. They drew comparisons to the early days of social media, highlighting how they had previously failed to gain control, which led to problems like the online exploitation of minors.
Free chatbot tool ChatGPT from OpenAI can deliver amazingly human-like answers. The hearings are meant to explore methods for making AI models like ChatGPT transparent, making sure risks are communicated, and developing evaluation scorecards.
One of the key subjects covered throughout the hearing was the effect of AI on employment, with concerns that a future industrial revolution will lead to the loss of jobs. The next industrial revolution that will cause labor displacement, according to Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), is “the biggest nightmare.”
Altman noted that new employees will be generated as a consequence of AI technology while conceding that some positions would be eliminated. “The occupations of today will improve, he said, and there will be considerably more employment available after this.”
The talks, which mirror larger societal concerns about its implications and possible consequences, have dubbed AI superintelligence as what is known as “nuclear weapons of computer software” by some. Kevin Baragona, one of the many writers of a public letter on The Future of Life Foundation calling for a halt in the creation of ChatGPT-type AI, said: “It’s almost like a war between the chimps versus humans.”
“The humans clearly win because we’re much smarter and are able to employ more cutting-edge technology to beat them,” he said. “If we’re like chimpanzees, the AI will either enslave us or destroy us.”
Your Al sounds like Hal, the computer in 2001, Doesn’t this thing have a failsafe in it somewhere?
OUR COUNTRY DOES NOT NEED AI. WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS WITH A SENILE GUY RUNNING THE NUT HOUSE.
