What is the future of AI?
As the information on AI banning ensues in some countries, there is now the buzz that Elon Musk and Apple co founder Steve Wozniak are among the 1,100 prominent technologists and researchers who signed an open letter calling for a 6-month ban on creating powerful AI. The letter urges technology companies to immediately cease training any AI systems that would be more powerful than GPT-4, which is the latest largest language processing AI developed.
Ironically though, Elon Musk was an original co-founder of Open AI, establishing it as a nonprofit research lab in 2015, and served as its biggest initial donor. Then in 2018, he broke off with the company and left its board.
The letter also calls on government to use the six-month window to dramatically accelerate the development of robust AI governance systems. It says a regulatory framework should include new authorities capable of tracking and overseeing the development of advanced AI systems.
There was no response from Open AI nor any of the large technology companies developing these powerful AI models yet in reference to the open letter.

Interesting question Maria. I don't it will be banned as such but guidelines may be put in place for use by the public. I feel governments will continue to work 'behind the scenes' and use such technology for warfare purposes.

This is going to be the battle of huge companies, money vs. money!!!
We shall be watching how this takes place!

Hi, Maria
That’s fascinating!
Many of the the countries that banned OpenAI have done so for information security reasons.
I doubt there’ll be any permanent bans on this technology, but a central governance agency makes sense to me, assuming it’s done properly.
This tech has significant abuse potential and we could easy lose regulatory control as it continues to evolve.
Rock On! 🤘

I understand that regulatory control could be required.
So let’s see where this is taking us Frankie Dowky 🎸😎!!!
Meanwhile keep rockin’ 🎸

This is a very interesting discussion. I use open AI and do not understand the concern. Historically, many inventions, and trends especially those that seem to replace humans have been seen as a threat rather than a benefit. But then, I am only seeing things from my perspective. Thanks for reporting on what is going on.

AI has been in existence in the medical field for the longest time. It hastens diagnostic tests and procedures and a huge help in microsurgery and even just regular surgical procedures.
When the AI world is taking over a lot of different areas of the human space, it needs some governance / regulations to take place.
Let us see how the tech companies would respond to this!

I think the biggest problem is when AI gets into the hands of the average person. Now it is all cloud based and company owned, however there is one called alpaca that can run on your computer and could be taught to upgrade itself. Than is when we could have problems.

What is alpaca Stephen?
I only knew of alpaca that makes wool!
