While much of the world continue to rant and rave about ChatGPT (now ChatGPT 4) and AI and the goodness it shall bring along with a new age of Industrial Revolution it is going to endow upon the human kind, there is a serious degree of restlessness within a community of AI who are supposedly better informed on AI and its potential.
A group of industry leaders warned that the AI technology they are building may one day pose an existential threat to humanity and should be considered a societal risk on par with pandemics and nuclear wars. This group led by Center for AI Safety, a nonprofit organization, warned that the risks of advanced A.I. systems were serious enough to warrant government intervention and called for regulation of A.I. for its potential harms. This group has released an open letter expressing caution which is signed by more than 350 executives, researchers and engineers working in A.I. The signatories included top executives from three of the leading A.I. companies: Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI; Demis Hassabis, chief executive of Google DeepMind; and Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic.
