Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, said on Tuesday that a very subtle "social imbalance" could wreak havoc on an AI system, and he couldn't sleep at night.
Speaking at the World Summit (WGS) in Dubai today, Altman called for the creation of an agency like the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to oversee the development of AI. He said AI could be advancing much faster than the world expects.
Altman said, "There are some things that are easy to think of ** that something is wrong. I'm not very interested if a robot on the street has an error. I'm more interested in a very subtle social imbalance. In this case, things can have terrible results even if the AI system itself is not particularly malicious. ”
The so-called social imbalance refers to a social disharmony that can occur when a person's attitudes and views are contrary to those of others. To that end, Altman wants to establish an agency like IAEA to oversee the development of AI. He also stressed that the AI industry, including OpenAI, should not be in a dominant position when it comes to developing regulations that regulate the industry.
"We're still having a lot of discussions," he said. At the moment, almost everyone in the world is holding a meeting, everyone has an idea, a policy document, and that's fine. We are still in a period of debate, which is healthy. But in the coming years, we must develop an action plan that can be recognized around the world. ”
Altman also said he is encouraged to see schools see AI as a technology that is critical to the future. Previously, there was resistance from teachers who were worried that students would use AI to write **.
Altman believes that AI is still in its infancy. "It's the same as the original black-and-white screen phone," he said. Give us some time, and in a few years it will be much better than it is now. Ten years from now, it should be remarkable. ”
