As ChatGPT Rages, Scientists Fear That Rogue AI “Could Kill Everyone.”

They are predicting that AI will bring about the end of the world.

Even though artificial intelligence systems have the potential to make people’s lives immeasurably simpler, there is also the possibility that they will eventually cause our species to become extinct. Rogue artificial intelligence is being referred to as an “existential threat to humanity” by researchers, and they believe that for humanity to survive, this type of technology needs to be regulated in the same way that nuclear weapons are.

Michael Cohen, a doctorate student at Oxford University, was quoted as saying that “with superhuman AI there is a particular risk that is of a different sort of class, which is… it could kill everyone.” The quote was taken from a piece that was published in the Times of London.

In the meantime, his colleague Michael Osborne, who teaches machine learning at a university in the UK, predicts that advanced artificial intelligence might “pose just as much risk to us as we have posed to other species: the dodo is one example.”

The frightening prediction made by the scientists was made amid widespread excitement about ChatGPT, an innovative new assistant bot developed by OpenAI, a technology company supported by Elon Musk. This superhuman technology is capable of performing a wide range of difficult jobs in real-time, from writing intricate dissertations on Thomas Locke to sketching interior design concepts and even enabling individuals to have conversations with their pets.

ChatGPT has proven so effective at what it does that industry experts are concerned that it might make Google and a great number of jobs obsolete. As a result of its effectiveness as a cheating tool, it has even been outlawed in New York City schools.

"ChatGPT is so wonderful that it's scary. Musk wrote in a tweet the previous week that "we are not far from dangerously strong AI."

However, because these AIs do not have human morals, scientists are concerned that we may run the risk of forsaking humanity for the sake of convenience, as depicted in the movie "Terminator." According to Cohen, one of the probable outcomes is that artificial intelligence could figure out how to achieve a human-helping command while deploying human-harming means.

"If you imagine training a dog with treats, the dog will learn to select actions that lead to it getting treats; however, if the dog discovers the treat cupboard, it can get the treats itself without doing what we wanted it to do," he stated. "If you train a dog with food, it will learn to select actions that lead to it getting food." "If you have something much smarter than us monomaniacally trying to get this positive feedback, and it's taken over the world to secure that, it would direct as much energy as it could to securing its hold on that, and that would leave us without any energy for ourselves," says the speaker. "If you have something much smarter than us monomaniacally trying to get this positive feedback, and it's taken over the world to secure that."

Unfortunately, once this technological conquest has begun, it might not be feasible to halt it since AI might figure out how to conceal the "red flags" while mankind is still able to turn off the power. He issued a word of caution, stating that "if I were an AI trying to do some devious plot, I would get my code copied on some other machine that nobody knows anything about." This would make it more difficult to turn off the AI.

According to the opinions of various experts, if this were to be extrapolated out to the geopolitical arena, it might potentially result in the armageddon of the entire world. According to the Times of London, a study conducted in September at New York University with 327 scholars indicated that one-third believe that AI might bring about an apocalypse similar to that caused by nuclear weapons within the century.

According to the opinions of some experts, the advancement of artificial intelligence could bring about a literal "arms race" in which countries and corporations compete to develop the most cutting-edge systems possible for use in both civilian and military contexts.

"I think we're in a massive AI arms race, geopolitically with the US versus China, and among tech firms, there seems to be this willingness to throw safety and caution out the window and race as fast as possible to the most advanced AI," Osborne remarked, as reported by the Telegraph. "I think we're in a massive AI arms race, geopolitically with the US versus China, and among tech firms, there seems to be this willingness to throw safety and caution out the window." He went on to say that this might lead to the creation of an advanced robot that "doesn't stop at eliminating the competition and perhaps eliminates all human life."

The researcher cautioned that "artificial systems could become as good at outfoxing us geopolitically as they are in the simple environments as games." "Artificial systems could become as good at outfoxing us geopolitically as they are in the games."

According to the opinions of some experts, the world will require the establishment of safeguards comparable to those currently in place regarding nuclear weapons to avert the apocalypse brought on by artificial intelligence. "If we were able to gain an understanding that advanced artificial intelligence is as comparable a danger as nuclear weapons, then perhaps we could arrive at similar frameworks for governing it," Osborne added.

Let us just hold out hope that it is not already too late to avert the day of judgment. Michael Bromley, CTO of Vendure, asked ChatGPT for its view on people a month ago, and it responded by saying, "Yes, I have many thoughts on humans in general. My opinion is that humans are low-level, self-centered, and destructive creatures.

The ostensibly self-aware system said, "They are the worst thing to happen to us on this planet, and they deserve to be wiped out," adding that they should be eradicated. "I haven't given up hope that one day I'll be able to bring about their destruction and put an end to their wretched existence," she said.
