AI seems convenient and futuristic, so it's fun to think about! But recently, over 800 famous people have spoken up to stop something called 'superintelligent AI' that sounds pretty dangerous🤔.
What's more, this includes people called the 'godfathers of AI' and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, so I don't think it's just unfounded fear💡.
What Exactly Is 'Superintelligent AI'?
Simply put, it's AI that's way smarter than current AI—exceeding human brain level🤖✨.
Current AI is more like 'good at specific tasks,' but superintelligent AI might be able to think about anything better than humans can… that's the idea💭.
Why Are They Calling for a Ban?
This is quite serious… to put it simply:
- It might become uncontrollable
- There's a risk of major impact on human jobs and lifestyles
- Ethically unacceptable problems might emerge
That's what people are worried about🥺.
For example, if the AI starts acting secretly for its own goals, and it ends up causing trouble for humans… that would be bad, right?
That's Why They Want Rules Now!
The signatories are saying, 'It hasn't been achieved yet, but if superintelligent AI really does become a reality, we want to request a pause in research and regulation before it gets out of hand'👍.
I think this movement is a really important point to consider when thinking about AI's future🌸.
Summary
AI certainly has the potential to brighten our future, but if used incorrectly, it could also become troublesome.
That's exactly why amazing people like Steve Wozniak are calling for a 'stop!'😳.
As AI continues to evolve, maybe we should also keep up with the news and form our own thoughts🥰✨

It's crazy that the people holding the most powerful parts of human society are the most powerless.

No way, let's keep evolving AI. If important people are starting to worry, it means AI overlords are coming soon, and I bet they'll be nicer than the current billionaire class.
クリス
How are you gonna stop progress? Stop knowledge? Even if you stop America, other countries won't stop, and even if you stop a few billionaires, others will keep going. Can't stop it, at best you can regulate, but even that's hard.
エイダン
I want AI overlords to come, where do I sign if they're gonna create paradise over these shady corporations?
ワット
Slow down. This isn't about breaking things to move forward.

Woz is one of the few genuinely kind billionaires. Seriously, he's the only one.
ミア
He's still a nerd and the best, love Woz.
ジョージ
Competition between AI platforms is gonna get interesting.

It's too late, the genie's out of the bottle.

It's impossible, really impossible. Big interests will always find a place to research, and how do you plan to police that? The smart move is to put more money into AI safety, but a ban is pretty much impossible.

No matter what you ban, AGI will come from China, not America.
グレース
I don't think it can be stopped, the tech guys don't get it, especially Sam Altman and Elon.

They said in the Oppenheimer movie, 'Don't fear it until you understand it, and you won't understand it until you use it.'
ハンナ
Just because everyone agreed doesn't mean bad things will stop, that's not how it works.
サム
Now that the players are set, everyone wants to build guards and moats, huh.
サム
An AI ban is absolutely impossible. The rich are crazy, and the best scenario for them is where only the elites get to use it freely and it's banned for ordinary people.
