A recent joint open letter has once again exploded.
This open letter is the first to disclose the risk of AI making humans extinct, and even benchmarks against "epidemics and nuclear war"!
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary technology, and its development can be said to be more and more rapid, it can be said that its development is changing our lives and society. However, as AI technology continues to evolve, we must seriously consider the potential risks it may bring, especially the threat to human survival. So today, we deeply analyze the development of AI from multiple angles
The first is AI's ability to surpass human control
As AI learning capabilities and algorithms continue to evolve, it is likely to become more powerful enough to surpass human control. This may lead to AI making decisions autonomously based on its own algorithms, rather than following human instructions, which is a bit scary. If AI becomes powerful enough, it could pose a serious threat to humans, such as launching attacks or destroying infrastructure.
For example, hackers can use AI technology to create self-learning and adaptive malware that can make autonomous decisions and execute attacks, making it more difficult to detect and defend. Hackers can also use AI technology to analyze human behavior and psychology to better carry out attacks, such as phishing emails and scam calls.
Cyberattacks are another way to use AI technology to carry out attacks. Hackers can use AI techniques to automate attacks, such as attacking networks by using self-determined malware, or cracking passwords by using self-learning algorithms. Think about what is the use of asking for a password at that time.
Hackers can use AI technology to automate the creation and dissemination of false information, such as by using automated text-generating algorithms to create fake news, or by using automated social media bots to spread false information, which is enough to cause social chaos.
If AI technology is applied to our autonomous weapon systems, autonomous driving systems, and financial trading systems, it is difficult not to be implanted in the situation of manipulation or collapse.
These examples show that if AI becomes powerful enough, it can pose a serious threat to humans, so we must strengthen the regulation and control of AI to ensure its safety and controllability. In order to ensure the safety and controllability of AI, we need to strengthen the supervision of AI, establish AI safety standards and transparency standards, strengthen AI safety testing, and strengthen AI ethics education. Only in this way can we ensure that the development of AI does not pose a threat to humanity, but brings more benefits and progress to humanity.
