Why do the billionaires of the world of technology want to be your friend’s artificial intelligence?

In today’s world, figures like Ilan Musk and Sam Altman are trying to make robots that invest in personal artificial intelligence. A loyal friendship Be with users. In fact, big technology companies have now come to the conclusion that the way to differentiate artificial intelligence products is to create the idea that the user is on a personal relationship. There is a report that you can read below.

The report says competition for artificial intelligence development is usually described in competition over “artificial clouds”, but perhaps in the short term its best use for the consumer, Treatment of loneliness Be.

The sense of separation and isolation is known in today’s world of epidemics, and research shows that loneliness can be as harmful as 15 cigarettes a day. Also, a study of Harvard last year showed that artificial intelligence was more effective in reducing loneliness than watching YouTube, and is comparable to “interacting with a human” in terms of effectiveness.

According to the report, people looking to talk to someone (or something) help increase the number of daily artificial intelligence users. These statistics in turn attract more investors and financial resources to improve the technology. The following is referred to as “Friend Economics”.

AI investigators’ attention to this cycle

According to Wall Street Journal, this cycle creates an incentive to lean artificial intelligence toward corporate views; For example, GROK chats are said to reflect on Ilan Musk’s ideas.

Also in recent weeks, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has attracted a lot of attention. He says that Americans have average less than 5 lovers and demand more friends.

Zuckerberg has mentioned artificial intelligence instead of the solution and said at a conference in May:

“I think people want a system to know them and understand people in the way algorithms allow.”

In Microsoft, Mustafa Suleiman, head of the company’s artificial intelligence department, has described personalization as the key to distinction. He had said in April in Big Technology podcast:

“We really want the user to feel like he is talking to someone who knows him well; One who is kind and supportive and at the same time reflects his values. “

He also added that Microsoft wants to consider borders for safety:

“We don’t want to enter the chaos. “The way we have found to achieve this is to stay polite and respectable, completely neutral and help you see the two sides of the discussion.”

Considering all of this, it is not surprising that the current generation of chats is designed as if the user is talking to humans.

This has raised a lot of concern. Researchers have warned about the risks of users’ love affair with artificial intelligence, and there have been reports from people who have overcased the technology. We may have seen the idea in the 2013 product “HER” in which Wuckin Phoenix begins a romantic relationship with artificial intelligence called Samantha (with Scarlett Johansson’s voice).
