Nearly 70 scientists, researchers, businesspeople, and public figures are calling for a ban on the development of superintelligence. Their open letter demands to suspend this process until humanity can effectively control such a potentially 'powerful' tool. This information was disseminated by the agency 'Glavkom', referring to a statement by the Future of Life Institute.
The letter, published at the end of October, emphasizes the danger of creating a system that could surpass human intelligence in all aspects and urges caution until effective control mechanisms are established.
Support from Leading Experts
Among the signatories of the letter are leading scientists in computer science, including Nobel laureates Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, who are often referred to as the 'godfathers' of AI. The initiative was also supported by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson.
Superintelligence surpasses human cognitive abilities. Some experts are concerned that the creation of artificial superintelligence could lead to a loss of human control over such systems.
