There are many expert voices listing the benefits that artificial intelligence will bring to the masses, as well as the threats this technology poses. The question now is how to confront and reduce these risks? The first Global Security Summit on Artificial Intelligence (AI) leaves great data, as Spain is also attending. In addition to the agreement reached between the United States and China at this summit, Elon Musk has clarified his position regarding this technology, “There will come a point where no work is needed, and artificial intelligence will do everything,” he warns.
This conference, held in Bletchley Park, central England, was the scene of an important international agreement with powers such as the United States, China, the United Kingdom and the European Union, among others, which They committed to strengthening international cooperation to avoid the worst omens regarding new smart systems.
The event was also attended by important businessmen in the sector, such as Elon Musk, CEO of companies such as Tesla, whose electric cars have included autopilot systems for years, and aspire to not need human assistance or supervision in the future. Musk also recently founded xAI, his own AI company that will compete with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, a company he was a partner in in the past.
Artificial Intelligence “The Best Teacher”
in Interview with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the owner of the social network Twitter (now X) presented his vision about this new technology, which has burst into the lives of millions of people in the past decade. “One of my kids has trouble making friends, and an AI-based friend would be great for him,” he said, as a potential benefit to humanity in the future.
Musk also believes that artificial intelligence is capable of this Be a good teacher, a more patient teacher For the youngest students. Since the birth of chatbots like ChatGPT, the academic community has been concerned about how to integrate this technology into classrooms, but preventing its use to do students’ homework and slow down their academic development. We must not forget that natural language models currently hallucinate and provide false or invented data.
“The most destructive force”
Regarding the catastrophic risks and threats that the technology community poses to the use of artificial intelligence, Musk has been warning about these risks for years. “We are witnessing here the most destructive force in history,” Musk said. The businessman was in favor of “ethical” development as a protection measure and defended it every time he invested in the creation of new artificial intelligence systems, but in the middle of the year he signed a letter with hundreds of experts asking him to stop it. For several months, he worked globally, and then announced his own company. for artificial intelligence.
Among the possible negative effects of this innovation, the billionaire warned that “there will come a point when there will be no need to work: you can get a job if you want to achieve your personal satisfaction, but artificial intelligence will do everything.” Musk considers this future “good and bad at the same time.” “One of the challenges of the future will be how to find meaning in life.”
In parallel with this conference, Musk showed his other, more joking side on social networks. Minutes before his appearance He posted a cartoon on his Twitter account mocking the duplicity of the summit With senior political leaders warning of the danger of AI, but at the same time declaring “I can’t wait to be the first to develop it.”
