Tech Giants Team Up to Keep AI From Getting Out of Hand
Let's face it: artificial intelligence is scary. The good news is that many of the tech giants behind the new wave of AI are well aware that it scares people---and that these fears must be addressed. That's why Amazon, Facebook, Google's DeepMind division, IBM, and Microsoft have founded a new organization called the Partnership on Artificial Intelligence to Benefit People and Society. "Every new technology brings transformation, and transformation sometimes also causes fear in people who don't understand the transformation," Facebook's director of AI Yann LeCun said this morning during a press briefing dedicated to the new project. Just bringing people together isn't really enough to solve the problems that AI raises, says Damien Williams, a philosophy instructor at Kennesaw State University who specializes in the ethics of non-human consciousness.
