Concerns about the risks posed by artificial intelligence continue to be a matter of debate in the technology world. Elon Musk, artificial intelligence believes the benefits outweigh the risks. Many experts argue about how risky “super intelligent” artificial intelligence could be.
Elon Musk: Artificial intelligence threatens humanity with a 20 percent chance
Speaking at a conference earlier this month, Elon Musk said advanced artificial intelligence is an existential challenge for humanity. The probability of posing a threat is up to 20 percent He guessed he was holding on. However, Roman Yampolskiy, an artificial intelligence researcher, said Musk underestimated the risks.
Yampolskiy argues that the “probability of apocalypse” from artificial intelligence is much higher than Musk predicted. He evaluates this risk as almost 100 percent. According to Yampolskiy, this is because super-intelligent machines have reached the point where they cannot be controlled by humans.
He said that because we cannot control AI, it has the potential to harm humanity in ways we cannot predict or prevent. Other experts shared similar concerns.
Geoff Hinton, the pioneer of neural networks, said that a super-intelligent artificial intelligence raised by humans could learn to manipulate humanity in the light of the examples we have given. Researchers also found that once AI models learn the concept of deception, it is difficult to reverse it.
While Musk acknowledges the dangers, he believes artificial intelligence still needs to be developed due to its benefits. However, Yampolskiy disagreed, arguing that uncontrolled superintelligence from any source carries serious risks.
