From Science Fiction to The Simpsons, we have been shown that ‘giving too much power’ to technology could be counterproductive. Now him Misalignment Museumfrom San Francisco, has a controversial exhibition, which shows the consequences for humanity of the rapid and significant advance of Artificial intelligence (AI). In it, an AI apologizes for “annihilate humanity”a prediction that really causes fear.
“Sorry for killing most of humanity”, says a monitor verbatim to visitors to the exhibition. Worthy of any post-apocalyptic story, the museum immerses us in that ‘reality’, where artificial intelligence has destroyed everything we know.
Annihilate humanity?
There is an area within the exhibition that is dedicated to AI as a Machiavellian dystopia, in which a machine is driven by the GPT-3the language model behind ChatGPT. This expresses messages with rancor against humanity.
Why does it cause fear? Let’s be honest, artificial intelligence is already part of our lives, day by day. For example, just ChatGPT, BingAI or Google Bard, to which we can go to solve doubts about any topic. Even the AI that just by writing a few words can create amazing images like the ‘Dinoprofessions’.
Not only that, it has attracted attention. In the museum, there is a piece called paperclip embrace (hug of clips in Spanish), yes, those who hold papers, which represent two humans made of paper clips hugging each other.
According to the museum curator, audrey kimthe sculpture is a metaphor of the philosopher Nick Bostrom, who imagined in 2000 what reality would be like if AI were programmed to create clips. Would I fill the world with clips?
Not so dystopian futures
If we can think of clips, also other uses, which is the fear of the world. Let your imagination fly and the results would not be so different. Simply, when reading this note, which movie resonates with you? we can think of The Hunger Games, Divergent, I am Legend, Godzilla, MadMax, Terminator, Wall-E, A Quiet Place, The Matrix, The Children of Man, The Island, 12 Monkeys, Zombilandamong other.
On the other hand, Bill Gates says that artificial intelligence “will change the world” and ChatGPT is key. So, it’s a technological milestone, just like the computer or operating systems and the internet.
Artificial intelligence can make our lives easier, but if there are already robots that think for themselves and even have feelings, could it be that all these prophecies could come true in the not so distant future? An AI says sorry before it happens, but we don’t know if it’s really a possibility.
