Since the ChatGPT breaks into the world, at the end of 2022, technology experts are divided into two: those who celebrate such an advanced artificial intelligence system, as a tool to facilitate a lot of processes, and those who are alarmed by the irresponsible use of these mechanisms. Sam Altman, father creator of the creature, slides on both sides.
Its most convenient side is the defense of ChatGPT. The machine learning mechanism put him on the world map of business, and from there he has become something of a tech mogul.
However, he does not stop being alarmed by the growth that the creature can register. He is afraid that artificial intelligence could get out of the hands of humanity and be uncontrollable, to the point of comparing it to a weapon of mass destruction, such as a nuclear bomb.
The first thing that reveals that to us is the blue backpack that he carries with him everywhere. Inside this bag is a Macbook Pro with which, by pressing a button, it is able to turn off its own machine learning system.
The device is compared to the nuclear briefcase that accompanies the President of the United States everywhere. But a recent statement by Sam Altman alarms us again.
The CEO of Open AI was in the United Arab Emirates talking about ChatGPT and AI in general, and has said that the world it needs to create a regulatory agency for this technology, similar to what was done at one point with the UN International Atomic Energy Agency.
“The challenge facing the world is how are we going to manage those risks and make sure that we can still enjoy those tremendous benefits. Nobody wants to destroy the world, but regulation is necessary,” said Sam Altman, according to Digital Trends.
“Let’s make sure we come together like a globe, and I hope this place can play a real role in this. We talk about the IAEA as a model where the world has said ‘OK, very dangerous technology, let’s all put up some guardrails.’ And I think we can do both,” he added.
