Top AI scientists, researchers and others have issued a new warning about the perils that artificial intelligence poses to humankind.
Experts highlighted the potential dangers artificial intelligence poses to the very existence of civilisation. Yesterday, Hundreds of leading figures signed the Statement on AI Risk which was posted on the Center for AI Safety's website.
"Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war," reads a one-sentence statement.
The open letter was signed by more than 350 executives, researchers and engineers working in AI, including top executives from three of the leading AI companies: Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, Demis Hassabis, chief executive of Google DeepMind; and Dario Amodei, chief executive of Anthropic.
The statement comes at a time when concerns about the potential harms of artificial intelligence are on the rise.
People need to continuously advocate and fight to make sure AI is used for good as the technology can intervene for the common good of society, but, say experts, there is a catastrophic potential for misuse of AI technology.
Recent AI-generated fake pictures showing Elon Musk kissing female humanoid robots with a caption that states he is launching robot wives went viral and several people actually believed it.
The post with fake images going viral illustrates how easy it is for AI tech to fuel the dangers of misinformation and disinformation by helping create images like these to fool people into thinking they are real.
An AI deepfake that showed an explosion near the Pentagon created a panic that even dipped the stock market briefly.
