Artificial intelligence must be under control or else!
In an exclusive interview with CNBC, the president of Microsoft Corporation, (Brad Smith), said that humans need to control artificial intelligence since it may be used as a weapon.
In the interview, which aired on Monday, Smith stated, "I think every technology invented to date has the potential to be both a tool and a weapon."
We must make sure that artificial intelligence is still under human control, he continued. We must therefore ensure that there are humans in control of it and that we can slow down or stop things, regardless of whether a government, military, or other form of institution considers utilizing AI to automate something like vital infrastructure.
Since the chatbot (ChatGPT), which is powered by generative artificial intelligence, has gained enormous popularity for its capacity to make human-like responses, technology leaders from all over the world have cautioned about the risks of artificial intelligence.
A sort of artificial intelligence known as "generative AI" is capable of producing a variety of content, including text, graphics, code, and more.
Top AI professionals, including Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, raised the "AI extinction threat" in May and asked policymakers to compare the hazards of technology to those posed by epidemics and nuclear weapons.
Elon Musk was the first to bring up the potential dangers of artificial intelligence to society in late March, together with a group of industry executives and specialists in the field.
At the Business 20 summit in New Delhi, the Indian capital, Smith said, "That's why we're not just calling on companies to do the right thing but also to put in place new laws and regulations that will ensure there are safety breaks."
Smith cited the use of emergency brakes on cars and circuit breakers to control electricity. "We've carried out this for other technologies before. We now have to apply the same principles to AI.
The head of Microsoft emphasized that artificial intelligence is a tool that complements human work, not a tool that replaces it, despite the exponential expansion of the field raising anxieties among workers about technology taking their jobs.
"It's a tool that can help people think smarter and faster," he declared. "The biggest mistake people can make is thinking that this is a tool that will enable people to stop thinking," he continued.
Because of this, Smith explained, "Microsoft calls its services (Copilot) or (Copilot) Copilot."
According to a recent United Nations research, it seems doubtful that generative AI will completely replace the majority of people's occupations; instead, it would likely automate some of their responsibilities, freeing them up to handle other things.
