Today I signed the “Pause Giant AI Experiments” petition at FutureOfLife.org.
I believe AI will change our future dramatically, and we should not rush headlong into those changes. AI research beyond the level of current Chat AI systems deserves careful ethical consideration.
I’m not against AI as a concept. In fact, I’m currently working on a project that will hopefully benefit greatly from it. But there is a lot riding on how we as a species approach the development of powerful AI systems. Depending on the decisions we make, they could either improve life for the majority of mankind or improve life for only a tiny minority (if that) at the expense of the majority.
I encourage everyone who reads this to sign the petition as well. This is a pivotal moment in history, and we need to make sure it pivots in the favor of humanity.
