“We do not know how to control these things.” Geoffrey Hinton, often called the ‘godfather’ of Artificial Intelligence, is now warning about its potential for catastrophic harm. So what could AI lead to, and how can it be controlled?
AI researcher Connor Leahy is dedicating his time to try to pursue “alignment,” and to push for proper regulation of the technology. I spoke to him about his biggest fears, how we got here, and what needs to be done.
Facebook comment by Heidrun Schmidt: "I think it might be a good idea to regulate the power consumption and thus not become hostage to the fear that ai will be uncontrollable. Until power consumption of the machines become safe and fair in respect to the human population of many nations, there might be enough time to examine the pros and cons of that technology in depth."
