⚠️ OpenAI's chief scientist urges a voluntary AI slowdown
OpenAI's chief scientist Jakub Pachocki warned that artificial intelligence is evolving so rapidly that it is becoming increasingly difficult for humans to understand and control. Pachocki stated that AI will soon be able to improve itself without human intervention, a process known as recursive self-improvement.
The details:
Pachocki said AI models can operate computers, collaborate with humans and other AI systems, and carry out research projects.
Pachocki wrote that developers can either steer AI to align with human interests or slow down future development as needed.
Anthropic PBC CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could replace half of all entry-level jobs.
Around 30 robots marched in Warsaw to call for improved AI regulation. The robots waved flags and chanted slogans outside Poland's digital affairs ministry.
