Can artificial intelligence cause human extinction?

You must have heard the warnings given by some leaders and senior managers in the field of robotics industry about artificial ielligence. These people have warned about the poteial of this technology not for human advanceme, but for human abuse and even extinction.

The New York Times says: “Some warn that artificial ielligence could become so powerful that it could cause societal-scale disruption within a few years if nothing is done to slow its progress. Of course, uil today, researchers have not provided an explanation about how it happened.”

Recely, a group of industry experts warned that artificial ielligence could threaten human existence in a one-line open letter published by the non-profit organization Artificial ielligence safety ceer “Reducing the risk of human extinction through artificial ielligence should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war,” it said.

Alan Mathison Turing is known as the father of computer science and artificial ielligence, and the most importa scieific award in the computer field is named after him, the Turing Award.

The stateme was signed by more than 350 managers, researchers and engineers from the field of artificial ielligence, such as Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, as well as Jeffrey Hion and Joshua Benjiu, two Turing Award winning researchers. The message is considered a prophecy, but it does not provide enough details about how the AI ​​apocalypse will happen.

“One plausible scenario is that AI gets io the hands of dangerous people and uses it to create new bioweapons more lethal than natural pandemics,” said Dan Hendricks, director of the AI ​​Safety Ceer. Or, instead of producing weapons, direct artificial ielligence to harm humans by performing various rebellious activities.”

Hendricks believes that if artificial ielligence is iellige or powerful enough, it may pose a significa risk to society. Another risk is hackers using it for malicious activities. Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google, said in one of his speeches: “There are scenarios for the future where artificial ielligence is used in cyber issues as well as biology.”

Schmidt believes that this issue seems far-fetched at the mome, but the rapid developme of artificial ielligence will make it more likely to happen. He says: “We need to be prepared for the day when this happens, so that we can preve abuse by evil people with reliable methods.”

Another concern in this case is artificial ielligence going rogue. Journalist and science writer Tom Cheevers said in an ierview: “Artificial ielligence built to get rid of cancer can learn to detonate nuclear missiles to destroy all cancer cells!”

“So the fear is not that artificial ielligence will be destructive, but the fear that it will be empowered,” he says. “Artificial ielligence tools only think about maximizing the result, and this thing takes it away from what we call humanity, and increases the possibility of terrible mistakes.”

Considering all these issues, these days the discussion of ways to regulate and corol artificial ielligence has become very hot. A group of artificial ielligence experts, technology industry executives, and scieists have proposed to stop the competition for the developme and deployme of powerful digital minds so that the developme path of this technology does not get out of corol.

They have said that the training of artificial ielligence systems should be stopped and the governme should iervene in this matter. “To ensure that the developme of superielligence happens safely and smoothly and smoothly iegrates with existing systems in society, everyone needs to be aligned,” Altman says.

The Associated Press says: “The US governme is publicly weighing the possibilities and risks of artificial ielligence. CNN reported that Biden has spoken with technology CEOs about the importance of ethical and responsible developme of artificial ielligence. In May, the White House of road map It provides for federal investme in research and developme that promotes responsible innovation that serves the public good, protects people’s rights and safety, and upholds democratic values. “Also, the governme has meioned the possibility of regulating the artificial ielligence industry in the future.”
