AI could destroy humanity in 5 years: why scientists are calling for a pause

A group of artificial intelligence scientists has presented a book titled 'If Someone Creates This, Everyone Will Die', warning about the threat to humanity. They claim that artificial superintelligence may emerge in just 2-5 years and become unpredictable. This information was disseminated by the publication 'Glavcom', citing a source from Mirror.

The authors of the book, including the founder of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute, Eliezer Yudkowsky, and the president of the organization, Nate Soares, assert that artificial superintelligence will have the capability to make decisions independently, develop strategies, and enhance its abilities. They warn that such intelligence will not play 'fair', employing complex manipulations and remaining undetected until it strikes decisively.

Experts caution that laboratories are already creating systems whose real capabilities are not fully understood. Research has shown that even basic models of artificial superintelligence, such as ChatGPT, can be circumvented with simple prompts, forcing them to perform tasks, including military objectives.

In light of this, researchers are calling for an urgent halt to the development of artificial superintelligence, emphasizing that time is running out and the potential of such intelligence could become uncontrollable if appropriate measures are not taken.

The Work of OpenAI and Its Consequences

OpenAI has released a special version of ChatGPT for users who are not yet 18 years old. If the system detects that a user is younger than 18, they are automatically redirected to this version.

It is also known that OpenAI is resuming research in robotics and forming a team of specialists to create humanoid robots that can operate in the real world.

A group of artificial intelligence scientists warns of a potential threat to humanity from artificial superintelligence, which, according to their forecasts, may become uncontrollable within a few years. The scientists are calling to cease work on such systems and to introduce necessary restrictions to avoid negative consequences.
