Careful! Chat GPT can destroy humanity

The company that created ChatGPT, OpenAI, has called for improved AI policies, arguing that it is needed to protect people from accidentally creating something that could have the power to destroy humanity.

In a brief note posted on the company's website, co-founders Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever and CEO Sam Altman call for an international regulator to start "checking systems, asking for audits, testing for compliance with security standards" in order to reduce the "existential risk" that such systems may present.

"There is a possibility that within the next 10 years, artificial intelligence systems will surpass the skill level of experts in most fields and perform as much productive activity as one of the largest corporations today," they emphasize.

Researchers have been warning about the potential dangers of superintelligence for decades. They describe the risk as "catastrophic" and "existential", in the sense that humanity may lose the ability to govern itself and become completely dependent on machines.

Researchers have warned of the potential dangers of super-intelligence for decades, but as AI development has picked up pace, those dangers have become more concrete.

The US-based Center for Artificial Intelligence Security (CAIS), which works to "reduce risks from artificial intelligence", has listed eight categories of "catastrophic" and "existential" risk that AI development could pose.
