Can any good come from AI? A South Carolina-based tech company thinks so...
Irmo, SOUTH CAROLINA — “Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.” So said more than 350 technology executives, researchers and academics in a signed statement that warned of the existential threats of Artificial Intelligence.
That statement was published in May 2023, and, hot on its heels, came another warning, this time from Twitter boss Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of Apple. Their joint letter called for a six-month moratorium on the development of advanced AI systems because of the risks still to be determined around AI — though Musk just announced his new AI company, xAI.
At the same time, in the U.S., the Biden administration has begun talking of the need to “manage [AI’s] risks.” And this month, the United Nations Security Council is holding its first-ever meeting on the potential threat to international peace and security posed by AI. Organized by the United Kingdom, this summit will examine risks of AI in relation to autonomous weapons and, perhaps more alarming still, of the risks around AI’s potential control of nuclear weapons.
Increasingly, AI is being seen as a threat not only to our way of life but to the very idea of human civilization.
