To be concerned about AI

[PennineWay]

The tech industry has written to world leaders to ask for AI development to be paused.

There are potential risks to society, economy and national security.

AI development is moving fast - faster than governments and leaders are likely to do anything about it or put anything in place. We probably can't stop this from happening at this point - the flood gates are open.

I have very intelligent friends (e.g. with relevant PhDs) who feel that the next 5 years are going to be unlike anything we have seen before, and as humans we are woefully unprepared for what might happen.

I'm concerned and think world leaders should be discussing this and urgently prioritising it. AIBU? Any thoughts?

Discussion on bbc this morning

it seems octopus energy have gone from not using AÍ 6 weeks ago to using it to answer most customer service emails (equivalent to a team of 250) and customers are happier with the AÍ responses

But how happy are the 250 employees?

I agree. It's entirely out of our hands. Tell yourself differently if it makes you feel better but...
