If AI 'spins out of control,' will the bots reflect values from China or the US?

FOX News

Russell Wald, director of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI, sounds off on'The Story.' After a Stanford survey of researchers showed more than a third believe that AI (artificial intelligence) could cause a "nuclear-level catastrophe," one of the directors of the California college's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence said another key to that fear is deciphering what values system the human-inputted but self-determining bots will hold. "I think that there is a little bit of overwhelming concern by a minority of people who are developing this technology. And one part of that is the concern that this technology will spin out of control and out of our hands," said Russell Wald, the institute's managing director for policy and society, said Monday on "The Story with Martha MacCallum." "I think that is a probably fairly limited subset. But the bigger issue here I think we need to look at is who has a seat at this table -- and ensuring that we have a more diverse set of people at the table so that we can get out of this hysteria a little bit."


Tech CEO warns AI risks 'human extinction' as experts rally behind six-month pause

FOX News

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' One of the tech CEOs who signed a letter calling for a six-month pause on AI labs training powerful systems warned that such technology threatens "human extinction." "As stated by many, including these model's developers, the risk is human extinction," Connor Leahy, CEO of Conjecture, a company that describes itself as working to make "AI systems boundable, predictable and safe," told Fox News Digital this week. Leahy is one of more than 2,000 experts and tech leaders who signed a letter this week calling for "all AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4." The letter is backed by Tesla and Twitter CEO Elon Musk, as well as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and argues that "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society and humanity."


Schools deploy AI technology to protect against active shooters

Fox News correspondent Matt Finn has the latest on the impact of AI technology that some say could outpace humans on'Special Report.' WASHINGTON – While most people look to artificial intelligence, or AI, for quick answers to complex problems, a growing number of school districts are turning to the technology to keep their students and staff safe. A school district in Charles County, Maryland, roughly an hour from Washington D.C., is in the process of installing software and hardware which would allow their current security cameras to detect a potential active shooter. "This artificial intelligence has the ability to be able to identify a weapon, to assess what's going on and how that person is acting," said Jason Stoddard, Director of School safety and Security for Charles County Public Schools. The district, through a state grant, is in the process of installing AI gun detection technology at all of its campuses.


Elon Musk's AI warning is 'unprecedented' and shows 'extraordinary' level of concern, says Douglas Murray

FOX News

Fox News contributor Douglas Murray joined'Fox & Friends' to discuss why Musk and other experts are calling for a halt to artificial intelligence systems for six months. In an open letter, tech experts and leaders in the industry called for a six-month pause on AI experiments, a move that Fox News contributor Douglas Murray believes shows a "deep concern" that is growing about the risks of artificial intelligence. The letter, which was signed by Elon Musk and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, reads, in part: "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose profound risks to society … and should be planned for and managed with commensurate care. Murray said on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday that the request for a moratorium is extraordinary and is a sign that experts are worried.
