"It's only going to get worse": a scientist names two biggest AI risks for humanity

Humanity expects a "catastrophic" future if the use of AI is not regulated

Artificial intelligence developer and researcher Yoshua Bengio believes that AI can pose a risk to humanity's existence. According to the scientist, we need to take the latest developments more seriously and regulate the use of AI.

He is concerned about the pace of development and implementation of its technologies. Joshua believes that artificial intelligence can damage the structure of society and carries unforeseen risks for people, Live Science writes.

The scientist is now calling for a moratorium on the development of artificial neural networks and is exploring ways to regulate them. He is convinced that everything possible should be done to reduce the risks of AI development to the human level.

The biggest risks AI poses to humanity

According to the scientist, we can already see the consequences of AI use as it is used in the US election campaign. And he believes that it will get much worse. A recent study has shown that ChatGPT-4 is much better than humans at persuasion, and this is only ChatGPT-4 – the new version will be worse. There have also been tests on how these systems can help terrorists. ChatGPT has changed this risk from low to medium.

By the time superintelligence is reached, there are two serious risks. First, there is the loss of human control. "If super-intelligent machines are self-preserving, their goal may be to destroy humanity so that we can't turn them off," he says.

Another danger Joshua cites is that individuals could use the power of artificial intelligence to take control of humanity in a worldwide dictatorship: "You can have milder versions of this, and it can exist on a spectrum, but this technology will give enormous power to whoever controls it," he explains.

Today, there is still a huge gap between human intelligence and AI abilities, but it is unclear how quickly things will change.
