Tech Leaders Sound Alarm on AI Training

In light of concerns that humanity may be in danger, leading players in artificial intelligence seek to halt the development of strong AI systems. They claim the race to develop AI systems is out of control in an open letter they have signed, which warns of potential consequences. Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, is one of those calling for a minimum of six months to pass before continuing to train AIs above a particular threshold. Steve Wozniak, a DeepMind researcher, and other co-founders of Apple also signed. The developer of ChatGPT, OpenAI, just made available GPT-4, a cutting-edge technology that has stunned observers with its aptitude for tasks like identifying objects in pictures.
