| Fear of Artificial Intelligence Supremacy: 'Big Tech Companies Protect the Public from Threats |
At a time when artificial intelligence technology is learning to mimic human behavior, there is growing concern around the world that this rapid development could lead to new challenges, including job losses and increased misinformation. Included.
Because of these concerns, the governments of the United States and Great Britain have been mobilized.
In the United States, the big names of the technology industry called the White House to urge the general public to be protected from artificial intelligence, while in the United Kingdom, it has been decided to revise the artificial intelligence market rules.
In the United States, the White House administration invited Google's Sundar Pichai, Microsoft's Satya Nadila, and OpenAI's Sam Altman to say that they have a moral responsibility to make society safer.
The White House also clarified that the sector will be closely monitored.
It should be noted that new products including ChatGPT and Bard have revolutionized the technology industry with the help of which information can be collected in seconds, computer code can be extracted, even poetry can be written, and so on. All of them have no idea that all this has been done with the help of computer artificial intelligence.
These products have sparked debate about what the benefits of this new technology are and what the potential side effects might be.
On Wednesday, Lena Khan, head of the US Federal Trade Commission, also emphasized why artificial intelligence needs to be regulated.
Among these concerns is that AI will trample copyright laws, while voice cloning is also likely to increase fraud. On the other hand, artificial intelligence-generated videos can spread fake news.
Technology executives gathered at the White House on Thursday were told that their companies have a responsibility to ensure the security of their products. They were warned that the US administration was ready to impose new regulations on the sector.
Chat GPT Chief Executive Sam Altman later told reporters that "all the heads are surprisingly on the same page about what needs to be done."
After this meeting, US Vice President Kamala Harris issued a statement saying that 'new technology can threaten privacy, safety and civil rights, but it can also save lives.'
He said that the private sector has a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety and security of its products.
The White House also announced a $140 million investment by the National Science Foundation to launch seven new centers for artificial intelligence research.
It should be noted that calls for better regulation of the dramatic revolution in artificial intelligence are coming out loud and clear from politicians as well as leading figures in the world of technology.
The UK has decided to overhaul the industry to ensure that no single company dominates the field of artificial intelligence and that its benefits are shared equally.
During this revision, software like Chat GPT will also be tested.
It should be noted that these steps have come at a time when Geoffrey Hinton, considered the 'godfather' of artificial intelligence, resigned from his job and warned about the dangers of this new technology.
While leaving his job at Google, he said that he regretted his work.
He said while talking to the BBC that 'some of the dangers of artificial intelligence chatbots are quite scary.'
Recall that in March, a letter signed by Elon Musk and Apple founder Steve Wozniak suggested temporarily halting efforts to bring artificial intelligence technology to the public.
However, people like Bill Gates, who is a supporter of artificial intelligence technology, have opposed this proposal and say that it will not help solve the problems.
The industry also expressed concern that the tougher rules would benefit Chinese companies that would not be affected by the rules.
