In Britain, warned of the risk of death of mankind due to the development of AI

The emergence of artificial intelligence, which can solve any intellectual problems, threatens humanity with a catastrophe. About this in an interview with the Times declared British scientist Stuart Russell.

He drew attention to the fact that uncontrolled development led to progress that researchers did not expect. At the same time, humanity made a mistake at the very beginning, not deciding what this intelligence is required for. Russell considered it likely that superintelligent machines in the future might resist attempts to control them. If it is not possible to control AI, developments in this area must be stopped, the scientist believes.

“The stakes can no longer be higher: if we don’t control our own civilization, we lose our say in our future existence.” he warned.

Russell believes that within ten years there will be a universal artificial intelligence that can solve any problem subject to a person. In addressing climate issues, for example, programs may decide that ridding the planet of humans is the best course of action.

Earlier, the historian and author of the book Sapiens Yuval Noah Harari compared the danger of the development of neural networks with nuclear weapons.

Earlier, Fox News announced the creation of the ChaosGPT neural network, which operates on the basis of GPT-4. Unlike most AIs that help people, this neural network is aimed at subjugating humanity and establishing global domination. The program stated that it had begun studying ways to exterminate humanity, including nuclear weapons. For example, she invited readers to think about what would happen if an AI got to the Tsar Bomba of the Soviet Union.

On March 29, it was reported that artificial intelligence scared entrepreneur and Twitter owner Elon Musk, who was among many high-tech experts who signed an open letter demanding that training of powerful neural networks be stopped for at least six months.
