Experts from around the world warned about potential AI disasters, which can lead to subsequent blocking of research.
Andrew Moore, the new head of artificial intelligence at Google Cloud, is one of such experts who warned about the scripts that would lead to public slack and restrictions that would prevent AI from achieving full potential.
In November, Moore spoke in the initiative of artificial intelligence and global security. In his speech he said:
“If the AI disaster occurs – and, for example, it would be autonomous killing people because of serious mistakes – at some point AI systems will be closed to develop, at least in the USA.
There are a few more terrible scenarios – which I don't want to talk about on the stage, which we really worry about – which will completely block robotic research. “
Autonomous vehicles were actually involved in accidents.
In March, only four months after Moore's warning, the Uber self -propelled vehicle caused mortality. In later investigation, Elaine Herzberg and her bike were recognized by car sensors, but then marked as “false positive” and rejected.
After years of science fiction movies containing uncontrolled works of artificial intelligence, it is not surprising to the public about the pace of recent events. Scientists are high responsibility for safe and ethical work.
Professor Jim Al-Khalili, the incoming president of British Science Association, said the Financial Times:
“Considering that a few years ago AI is quite stunning, even by AI researchers.
We are currently observing the unprecedented level of interest, investment and technological progress in this field, which many people feel, including me, is happening too quickly. “
In the race between world powers to become AI leaders, many are afraid that this will lead to rush and dangerous results. This is particularly disturbing in relation to AI militarization.
Many researchers believe that AI should not be used for military purposes. Several Google employees have recently left the Pentagon company to develop drone recognition software.
Over 4,000 other employees signed a petition demanding that Google management stops the project and promises that he will never “build war technology” again.
Since then, Google has decided not to renew the Pentagon contract after expiry. However, this has already caused waves in the Silicon Valley with many employees for such companies as Microsoft and Amazon, demanding not involved in military agreements.
However, like the development of nuclear weapons, the development of artificial intelligence for military purposes seems inevitable and players will always be ready to enter. Last month, AI News announced that AI News Booz Allen secured a contract worth $ 885 million Pentagon AI.
From a military point of view, it is necessary to maintain similar possibilities as a potential opponent. In July, China announced plans for improving maritime strength with unmanned AI submarines This is an advantage over the fleets of their global counterparts.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin recently said recently: “(AI) has colossal possibilities, but also threats that are difficult to predict. Everyone who becomes a leader in this sphere will become the ruler of the world.”
Few disputes that AI will have a huge impact on the world, but the debate is crazy about whether it will be primarily good or bad. In addition to the potential dangers associated with dishonest AIS, there is also an argument for impact on work.
Al-Khalili wants artificial intelligence added to school curricula-A also running public information programs-to educate good practices, prepare workforce and reduce the fears caused by science-fiction.
