Over 1,000 tech experts, including Elon Musk, have called for a six-month pause on the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems, such as OpenAI’s GPT.
In an open letter published by the Future of Life Institute, a non-profit campaign group, the signatories warned of an “out-of-control race” to develop and deploy more powerful digital minds that no one can understand, predict or control.
Ripples Nigeria gathered that the letter urged all AI labs to immediately halt the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, and for governments to institute a moratorium if a pause cannot be quickly enacted.
