Concerns about the development of Artificial Intelligence and the negative consequences it poses to society have been increasingly warned about over the past decade. There are predictions of catastrophic consequences but also some more pernicious harms such as society becoming dependent on machines and losing its ability to self-govern, or a world where only a few who hold the power of AI are able to rule the many, creating an eternal caste system. In recognizing such concerns, leaders of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, including their cofounders and chief executive, have come out stating an urgent need for the regulation of “superintelligent” AIs, an equivalent to the International Atomic Energy Agency for AI that will help protect humanity from developing something with the power to destroy itself. Within the next ten (10) years, experts foresee AI exceeding “expert skill level in most domains” with the capability to “carry out as much productive activity as one of today’s largest corporations” and that “superintelligence will be more powerful than other technologies humanity has had to contend with in the past.” Instead of the recently published letter by AI experts pushing to pause AI development, the leaders at OpenAI are encouraging an international regulator to figure out how to “inspect systems, require audits, test for compliance with safety standards, [and] place restrictions on degrees of deployment and levels of security.” These leaders are hoping that we can use such capabilities to foster a prosperous future, believing that humanity cannot afford the dangers of halting developments and missing out on the tremendous upsides AI has to offer, such as what’s already being seen in the areas of education, creativity, and personal growth. However, they are also critical to point out that “given the possibility of existential risk, we can’t just be reactive” and are thus encouraging companies working on the cutting-edge of AI research to coordinate their efforts to leverage this great technology and incorporate them smoothly into society while prioritizing safety.
