Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma on ‘superintelligent AI’: ‘Disempowerment of humanity’

Hindustan Times  

Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma has raised concerns over ‘disempowerment of humanity’ over a post by ChatGPT creator OpenAI which expressed inability to have a solution for controlling a super intelligent AI and preventing it from going rogue. The company said its techniques on aligning AI including reinforced learning from human feedback rely on human's ability to supervise the technology. What has triggered concerns among the tech experts is that OpenAI said human being will not be able to ‘reliably supervise’ the AI systems much smarter than the company and the current alignment technique won't scale to super intelligence. In May this year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman during a Senate hearing emphasised the need for government intervention to mitigate the risks linked with increasingly powerful AI systems.
