OpenAI's founder and Chief Product Officer, Sam Altman, has expressed his commitment to privacy and security. Garante has promised to remain transparent in this process.
A group of leading AI researchers are advocating for the European Union to broaden its approach to regulating artificial intelligence - including tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT - in order to better preserve safety and accountability. The proposal submitted by Timnit Gebru, Mozilla Foundation President Mark Surman, and the AI Now Institute's Amba Kak and Sarah Myers West, is gaining traction as governments and states address the impact of AI on everyday life. Companies like Tesla, headed by co-founder Elon Musk, are also beginning to take action. The future of AI regulation is uncertain, but these stakeholders are making strides towards finding solutions.
Meta AI is revolutionizing AI tech with its new Segment Anything Model (SAM), enabling one to identify objects in images & videos with a single click. It also has a Bug Bounty Program to reward researchers for keeping their tech secure. Elon Musk has procured 10,000 GPUs for potential AI alternative to ChatGPT, sparking debate between him & OpenAI's Sam Altman.
This article highlights the potential threats posed by ChatGPT, a well-known hallucinating AI chatbot, to political campaigns and the public in the future. Its applications range from writing political speeches to creating content for social media and research work. The tool is prone to generating false and biased information, making it a recipe for disaster if used by political parties. OpenAI is working to ensure AI safety, but the issue of bias needs to be addressed. This is essential to guard against misunderstanding, fake news and manipulation.
The last decade has seen rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which could lead to disastrous consequences if not managed & regulated properly. Ian Hogarth, an AI investor and co-founder at Songkick, warns of a "nuclear-level catastrophe" if AI is allowed to grow unchecked. Jensen Huang, the CEO of chip maker Nvidia, notes AI power has grown 1 million times over the past 10 years with AI like OpenAI's ChatGPT. Hogarth warns of the immense power of AI, also known as "God-like AI," which could challenge humans’ grip on the world. We must create guidelines to reduce the risk of chaotic and potentially catastrophic outcomes.
