2023 can be called the first year of artificial intelligence.
This year, the chatbot technology based on AI technology represented by OpenAI's ChatGPT suddenly broke out, and subsequently, Google released Bard, and domestic Baidu released Wen Xin, these representative AI technologies, while presenting a very fresh side to users, also showed a worrying side.
Because AI technology has some technical and ability heights that humans cannot reach, such as the memory of knowledge, logical thinking ability, learning ability far higher than ordinary humans, very decisive decision-making ability, etc., are beyond the level that ordinary humans can achieve.
To this end, a group of scientists and well-known people represented by Musk have issued a call for the early formulation of AI development specifications to prevent artificial intelligence technology from bringing devastating consequences to human civilization. Musk also took the lead earlier this year, signing a memorandum requiring relevant institutions to stop AI research for 6 months in order to unify ideas, build consensus, and formulate a norm for the development of AI technology.
Although Musk is the richest man in the world, his appeal does not have any actual influence after all, OpenAI's ChatGPT has been iterated to version 4.0 amid doubts, and Google's bard has also secretly grown and made obvious progress in many fields, and Baidu's Wen Xin has made impressive progress in the processing of Chinese languages, even evolution.
However, just today, the EU put a big move on artificial intelligence technology!
According to foreign media news, the European Union today passed a bill requiring large language models like OpenAI to disclose the data they use to train AI robots. A full AI normative document is expected by the end of this year.
It has to be said that for the development of AI, this normative document of the European Union is a good attempt. Although it is difficult for the EU to truly regulate and constrain the development of AI technology alone, the EU has opened this head, and I believe that subsequent countries will attach importance to this revolutionary technology and form a joint force, so as to truly put the reins on AI technology and make it benefit mankind, rather than becoming a threat to human civilization.
AI threatens human civilization, which is no longer sensational, let alone alarmist.
If it is not regulated and constrained today, in the future, when this technology really makes breakthroughs, it may be difficult for humans to distinguish between AI and real humans in real life, and by then, it will be too late!
