With the emergence of AI tools such as ChatGPT, people have seen the unlimited potential of AI in text creation, image drawing, etc., and many people have exclaimed that the power of AI is "invincible", and the deep background and huge layout of the United States in the field of artificial intelligence have also attracted attention. There is no doubt that the United States is leading in artificial intelligence technology at this stage, but the United States has begun to become more and more unscrupulous in order to maintain this lead.
(Highlights of the open letter)
According to the Observer Network, on May 30, local time, the non-profit organization "Artificial Intelligence Security Center" issued an open letter, calling on the international community to take the risks and threats of artificial intelligence seriously. To sum up, artificial intelligence may cause human extinction, and its risk is comparable to pandemics and nuclear war, and countries must pay attention to it.
According to reports, the open letter has been signed by many bigwigs, including the CEOs of the three top artificial intelligence companies in the United States, as well as Jeffrey Hinton and Joshua Bengio, two "godfathers of AI".

It can be said that this open letter brings together the opinions of the world's most authoritative artificial intelligence experts, nuclear scientists, epidemiologists and other experts and scholars, and has sorted out the risks brought by artificial intelligence.
Indeed, with the breakthrough of artificial intelligence, its negative effects cannot be ignored, for example, more and more students use artificial intelligence to write homework and papers, resulting in plagiarism becoming difficult to define; At the same time, criminals are also using it to develop new hacking methods to steal sensitive data for ransom.
The most important thing is the impact on the way the future of work, and many jobs will be replaced when AI tools become widespread. Some experts estimate that by 2030, 75 million to 375 million people may change jobs and learn new skills.
(The most criticized is that AI may cause unemployment)
The impact on the economy could be unprecedented. According to US media, 61% of US respondents now believe that artificial intelligence is threatening the future of mankind.
In fact, like other new things, the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence has been accompanied by great controversy, and people must use its good side, but also must be wary of the possible risks. As long as you make good use of it and prevent risks, you can "use it for me".
The joint signature of experts does not contradict this concept, after all, experts mainly arouse people's attention from a professional point of view, and it is their job to tell everyone the worst.

However, in recent times, the United States has significantly exaggerated the destructive side of artificial intelligence, while repeatedly downplaying its advantages, which also has to make people doubt its intentions.
Many media believe that this is the United States facing other countries' technology competition, hoping to monopolize artificial intelligence technology, after all, major American technology companies are following AI technology, and its leading edge is very obvious.
Not long ago, Vice President Harris also convened a meeting of American science and technology bigwigs, which shows that the United States' desire to monopolize artificial intelligence is very urgent, so it is not surprising that the United States discourages other countries from artificial intelligence by intimidation.
However, this statement of the United States will not discourage our research and pursuit of artificial intelligence, and China's current technical reserves in the field of artificial intelligence are not bad, and it is also a good time for China to lead the world.

AI will replace many industries and create many new jobs, and as long as you are prepared to continuously learn new skills, you can minimize the losses. For the hype of the United States, we should firmly study the concept of artificial intelligence overtaking in corners, and must not be disturbed by the sudden noise.
