Questão 18 - UniRV APARECIDA 2025/1

"The idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people.... I thought it was way off. ... Obviously, I no longer think that," Geoffrey Hinton, one of Google's top artificial intelligence scientists, also known as "the godfather of AI," said after he quit his job in April so that he can warn about the dangers of this technology.

He's not the only one worried. A 2023 survey of AI experts found that 36 percent fear that AI development may result in a "nuclear-level catastrophe." Almost 28,000 people have signed on to an open letter written by the Future of Life Institute, including Steve Wozniak, Elon Musk, the CEOs of several AI companies and many other prominent technologists, asking for a six-month pause or a moratorium on new advanced AI development.

As a researcher in consciousness, I share these strong concerns about the rapid development of AI, and I am a co signer of the Future of Life open letter.

Why are we all so concerned? In short: AI development is going way too fast.

The key issue is the profoundly rapid improvement in conversing among the new crop of advanced "chatbots," or what are technically called "large language models" (LLMs). With this coming "AI explosion," we will probably have just one chance to get this right.

If we get it wrong, we may not live to tell the tale. This is not hyperbole.
