The increasingly ubiquitous artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving at an absolutely meteoric speed and the pace of its advances is so frenetic (and disturbing) that some are already advocating its immediate regulation. Those who call for the urgent regulation of AI are not in any way strangers to this technology but are directly involved in its development. This is the case of Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI , who over the weekend confessed on Twitter the anxiety he felt that institutions could not react quickly enough to the development of artificial intelligence.
Altman's words are especially significant, especially if we take into account that his company is the parent company of ChatGPT , the famous chatbot that Microsoft integrated a couple of weeks ago into Bing (with the aim of tickling the almighty Google).
In a thread posted on Twitter, Altman reflects on the challenges facing AI and the future of this technology. “ In most cases, a transition like the one AI is currently undergoing is good and happens fairly quickly. The transition from the pre-smartphone era to the post-smartphone universe is an example of this,” says the CEO of OpenAI.
Altman also warns that, although AI is not too scary at the denmark number data moment, it will not be long before this technology becomes potentially “terrifying” and regulation in this regard will be absolutely crucial. “We need enough time for our institutions to know what to do. Regulation will be essential and will take time to resolve,” stresses the creator of ChatGPT.
“It is essential to have enough time to properly understand what is happening, how people want to use these kinds of tools , and how society can move forward,” Altman emphasizes.
Another challenge facing AI is overcoming the biases that its creators could potentially instill in it . According to the CEO of OpenAI, artificial intelligence cannot be at the mercy of prejudices and should not favor, for example, one political candidate over another.
It is still unclear how fast the transition to AI will be and how it will be implemented. In addition, the regulation that will necessarily have to be implemented around this technology is still an unknown.
Microsoft has already begun to regulate the new Bing with ChatGPT , which recently made headlines for insulting and lying to some users . The Redmond company has limited Bing's conversations to 50 per day and its responses to 5 per session (although it has since relaxed these restrictions so that its search engine can engage in longer conversations).
According to Microsoft, Bing tends to get confused and lose its temper during long conversations , so it has decided to restrict its use to prevent potential outbursts.
