The new nuke race: AI is the new nuclear arms race says tech mogul, fears it could 'enslave humans'

Firstpost  

A tech billionaire has compared the insipid race to master artificial intelligence and turn it into something profitable, without any regard to the potential harm that it poses to the nuclear arms race of the twenty-first century. Tech experts warn against developing AI rapidly, without caution In a recent interview, Baragona said that “AI superintelligence is like the nuclear weapons of software,” referring to the 1940s creation of the atomic bomb. “If we’re like the chimpanzees, AI will either kill us or subjugate us,” he added The concerns stem from the extraordinary rise of ChatGPT, which has taken the world by storm in recent months, passing major medical and legal examinations that humans study for nearly three months. Tech Mogul Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak also endorsed the open letter asking for the development of AI to be halted, but Bill Gates and Google CEO Sundar Pichai have supported the development, and are optimistic about the tech. Also read: Elon Musk was ‘furious’ with ChatGPT’s popularity at debut after he pulled his investment and left OpenAI Microsoft, established by Bill Gates, has made significant investments in OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT and invested about $10 billion in the development of ChatGPT in order to compete with Google in commercialising new AI advances.
