Washington [US], May 31 : Dozens of artificial intelligence (AI) industry leaders, academics and even some celebrities on Tuesday (local time) called for reducing the risk of global annihilation due to AI, CNN Business reported."Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war," read the statement published by the Center for AI Safety.According to CNN Business, the statement was signed by leading industry officials including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman; the so-called "godfather" of AI, Geoffrey Hinton; top executives and researchers from Google DeepMind and Anthropic; Kevin Scott, Microsoft's chief technology officer; Bruce Schneier, the internet security and cryptography pioneer; climate advocate Bill McKibben; and the musician Grimes, among others.The statement highlights wide-ranging concerns about the ultimate danger of unchecked artificial intelligence.According to CNN Business, AI experts have said society is still a long way from developing the kind of artificial general intelligence that is the stuff of science fiction; today's cutting-edge chatbots largely reproduce patterns based on training data they've been fed and do not think for themselves.Still, the flood of hype and investment into the AI industry has led to calls for regulation at the outset of the AI age, before any major mishap occurs.The statement follows the viral success of OpenAI's ChatGPT, which has helped heighten an arms race in the tech industry over artificial intelligence. In response, a growing number of lawmakers, advocacy groups and tech insiders have raised alarms about the potential for a new crop of AI-powered chatbots to spread misinformation and displace jobs, CNN Business said.Hinton, whose pioneering work helped shape today's AI systems, previously told CNN he decided to leave his role at Google and "blow the whistle" on the technology after "suddenly" realizing "that these things are getting smarter than us."Dan Hendrycks, director of the Center for AI Safety, said in a tweet Tuesday that the statement first proposed by David Krueger, an AI professor at the University of Cambridge, does not preclude society from addressing other types of AI risk, such as algorithmic bias or misinformation.Hendrycks compared Tuesday's statement to warnings by atomic scientists "issuing warnings about the very technologies they've created.""Societies can manage multiple risks at once; it's not 'either/or' but 'yes/and,'" Hendrycks tweeted. He added, "From a risk management perspective, just as it would be reckless to exclusively prioritize present harms, it would also be reckless to ignore them as well."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
