A recent letter written by OpenAI CEO and other tech executives warns of the potential dangers of artificial intelligence (AI). According to the letter, the risks associated with the technology are equal to those of pandemic outbreaks and nuclear wars. The letter urges an international effort to reduce the risks of AI and improve safety standards. A Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted earlier this month showed that almost two-thirds of Americans believe that AI poses a significant risk to humanity. In March, Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak were among a group of tech luminaries who called for a six-month moratorium on the development of AI tools to allow for the development of new safety standards.
OpenAI is an AI research lab, co-founded by luminaries such as Elon Musk and Sam Altman, with a goal to ensure that intelligent machines benefit humanity.
Elon Musk is a tech entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink, and The Boring Company. He is also known for his opinions on artificial intelligence, space exploration, and clean energy.
