Even if the title sounds more like Science Fiction for people who are not very connected to technology, artificial intelligence will lead to the disappearance of humanity if it is not under control.
After in April 2023, Elon Musk and other technology experts talked about the general danger that artificial intelligence can produce At the level of society, it was the turn of the bosses (CEO) of the largest companies that develop artificial intelligence to sound an alarm through an open letter.
Among the 350 signatories of the open letter launched by the non -profit organization “Center For AI Safety” (CAIS), count: Sam Altman, CEO of the company OpenAI, heads of companies AI DeepMind, Antrophic But also directors from Microsoft, Google, who also develop wide artificial intelligence languages.
They joined a group of researchers and teachers in the field to express concern that artificial intelligence can lead to humanity's disappearance If the political decision makers will not take this problem seriously.
The effects of the irregularity of artificial intelligence globally, can cause damages as a nuclear war or as a totally out of control, is shown in the open letter.
Will artificial intelligence lead to the disappearance of mankind?
Most likely the decision makers will wake up in time and seek solutions to regulate this enormous step. Of course, before making decisions you have to realize the risks that come in the package with the benefits of artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence does not mean just ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 Copilot or Google Bard. Generative artificial intelligence models are used in medicine, research, robotics and automation, education, finance, trade, plus in many other areas where it is a real help.
AI It can also be used for destructive purposes, and this is the fear that artificial intelligence will lead to the disappearance of humanity. The manipulation of society in order to create tensions among the masses, until the development of intelligent weapons, capable of overcoming human intelligence and making decisions autonomously. It is a technology capable of learning alone, evaluating situations and acting.
The biggest problem is that the broad language models of AI (LLM) I'm out of reach of anyone.
Nuclear fission was a huge step for humanity that brought both benefits and major dangers. The energy produced by nuclear fission is a huge resource and a real benefit, while nuclear weapons can be catastrophic for humanity. On the other hand, nuclear fuel is not available to anyone, as are artificial intelligence models. Uranium (U-235) or Plutoniu-239 will find nobody as easy as a computer can run Python.
However, one thing is certain. Artificial intelligence will lead to humanity's disappearance, only if humanity allows this. If the forces of nature cannot be controlled by man, artificial intelligence can still be controlled (I hope).
