Artificial intelligence (AI) and technology corporations corresponding to Open AI, Salesforce, and Hugging Face have published an open letter resolving to 'construct AI for the good thing about humanity.' This accommodates content much like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's theory.
Bloomberg reported on the fifth (local time) that dozens of technology corporations and startups, including OpenAI, signed the open letter began by SV Angel CEO Ron Conway.
Until now, open letters about AI have mainly come from existing scholars and officials, and have called for specializing in slowing down the event of AI or creating safety measures. A representative example is that in March last 12 months, greater than 1,000 people, including Elon Musk, proposed delaying the event of cutting-edge AI by six months.
Then again, this time it accommodates the position of corporations that directly develop and apply AI, emphasizing 'collective responsibility' to maximise the advantages of AI and mitigate its risks.
They compared the impact of AI to historical technological innovations corresponding to printing, the steam engine, electricity, and the Web. He also said, “Whether technology may have a superb or bad impact depends upon human behavior and thoughtfulness. Ultimately, it’s our shared responsibility to maximise the advantages of AI and reduce its risks.”
This is comparable to what CEO Altman often revealed. He points out that regardless of how high safety standards each government sets, it’s difficult to discover the actual problems until the technology gets into the hands of users.
Subsequently, emphasizing only safety from the start will only decelerate the event of technologies that might help humanity, and the logic is that the federal government and the technology community must cooperate to quickly cope with problems that ultimately arise in actual use.
This open letter has similar content. In actual fact, CEO Altman said through
Meanwhile, this letter didn’t list specific implementation details.
