Google and Microsoft urged to 'slam brakes' on AI as experts warn it's moving too fast to control

ARTIFICIAL intelligence experts have warned that we should slow down the development of AI as it continues to advance at a rapid rate. Several concerns were raised in a recent report by Vox which claimed "pumping the brakes" on AI could be the best thing for humanity. "I'm really scared of a mad-dash frantic world, where people are running around and they're doing helpful things and harmful things, and it's just happening too fast. "If I could have it my way, I'd definitely be moving much, much slower," Ajeya Cotra, an AI-focused analyst at Open Philanthropy, told Vox. Big brands like Google and Microsoft are working on their own AI bots despite growing concerns. Microsoft has even teamed up with ChatGPT creator OpenAI to create its own controversial AI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently admitted that even he is a "little bit scared" of the technology. Altman said in an interview with ABC News that he had concerns about how fast AI could be used to spread disinformation. He also has worries about how it will affect elections and the work place. The CEO said: "I'm particularly worried that these models could be used for large-scale disinformation.
