Why is Elon Musk, others worried
According to the letter, there should be a pause on advanced AI development until shared safety protocols for such designs are developed, implemented, and audited by independent experts.
The letter said:
“Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable."
Scientist competes
Meanwhile, Microsoft-backed OpenAI recently launched the fourth iteration of its GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) AI program, which has amazed users with its vast range of applications, from engaging users in human-like conversation to composing songs and summarising lengthy documents.
