AI technology has grown exponentially in recent years, offering potential solutions to a wide range of problems. But still, some people worry about whether Artificial Intelligence – AI – will create more problems than it solves. According to Justin Davis, lead engineer at Spectrum Labs, AI technology is reaching a “sweet spot” as it reaches maturity and strengthens its capabilities.
Davis joined GamesBeat’s Dean Takahashi to talk about the use of generative AI and whether communities are ready to fully embrace it. People have found that it takes around five years, give or take, to develop general AI technology. Major companies tend to stick to this timeline when it comes to developing technology. But the general public does not usually understand the amount of time needed to produce something like ChatGPT or Project Barracuda.
The potential harm that can arise from AI technologies is concerning, and it is a reminder of the risks involved in putting powerful technology in the hands of individuals who can cause real-world damage. Despite a few problematic scenarios, many people still lack a comprehensive understanding of AI. But as these technologies become more accessible, developers need to consider the use cases for both good and bad faith users.
Spectrum Labs, a San Francisco based company founded in 2014, has been pushing the boundaries of generative AI technology. The company strives to create responsible solutions that work to enhance the lives of its users. Justin Davis leads the development and research teams at Spectrum Labs and is known for his work in the areas of natural language processing, sentiment analysis, and text synthesis.
While generators like ChatGPT are changing the way people interact with AI, it is still up to developers and users to understand its potential consequences. While AI can help automate tedious tasks or create powerful new solutions, there must be an element of responsibility as well. Companies and developers should consider all the angles, including potential malicious use. Additionally, humans still need to be involved in order to draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable use cases.
Ultimately,AI is a technology that can be both powerful and dangerous when misused. It’s up to the developers and users of these technologies to understand the implications of their actions and use AI responsibly.
