Since the request to stop the advance of AI progress has come to light, everyone has turned their eyes towards the current CEO of the company, Sam Altman. Above all, after Elon Musk, founder of the OpenAI company, recognized that a series of steps had been taken with the sole objective of accelerating the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence.
Since Elon Musk parted ways with OpenAI in 2018, the situation has become very tense. In fact, the term that the current owner of Twitter has used and that has attracted the most attention is that he mentioned that the advancement of AI, as he is doing right now, could be dangerous. This has set off alarm bells.
Due to this situation, sam altman has responded on Twitter to that petition signed by Elon Musk and other experts about the need to curb for about 6 months AI research and advancement to improve your security. Although, he has not alluded at any time to the conflict directly.
Sam Altman feels in “the eye of the hurricane”
On March 30, Sam Altman tweeted the following message accompanied by a smiley face emoticon: “very quiet in the eye of the hurricane”. Those were the only words he dedicated without referring, at any time, to the request.
And it is that the issue of security has been something that has been in the news for weeks and that, lately, has acquired greater interest. In fact, we have the case of Italy, which has recently banned the use of ChatGPT for privacy reasons. However, Sam Altman wanted to give his opinion on the matter, explaining those key elements that will make future Artificial Intelligences safe.
Superintelligence, coordination and a global regulatory framework
That same day that Sam Altman assured that he was very calm despite this request to stop the development of Artificial Intelligence, he launched another tweet in which he revealed some elements that good AIs needed in the future. One of them was “the technical capacity to align a superintelligence” and it is that researchers must be prepared to anticipate everything that this technology can do.
He also mentioned the need for a “enough coordination” in which all the efforts that were being made were aligned to achieve the best possible results. This is key not only for an Artificial Intelligence to get ahead, but also for it to be useful.
Finally, the last point that Sam Altam reflected in his tweet was very important, since it is about the fact that there must be “an effective global regulatory framework”. All this has been surprising, since the three points coincide with the request of the signatories and seem to make it clear that the CEO of OpenAI does not want to immerse himself in a fight, but rather to find solutions.
Despite the position of the CEO of OpenAI, the situation remains tense and it is that the signed document expressly cites ChatGPT to stop its development. It is still unknown what will happen and if, finally, Sam Altman will confirm that the advance of AI has been stopped to focus on improving more advanced security and privacy protocols before continuing.
For the moment, we will have to pay attention to the new news and information that the CEO of OpenAI is offering through his Twitter. Well, although it is in the eye of the hurricane, It is Artificial Intelligence that is being questioned right now.
