There is a danger: scientists have assessed the risk of artificial intelligence destroying humanity
A survey of leading experts in the field of artificial intelligence showed that the probability of losing control over AI and allowing the destruction of humanity is 5%.
Gizmodo writes about it.
The survey involved more than 2700 scientists studying artificial intelligence. Experts shared their forecasts on AI development and related risks.
According to researchers, AI will become much more advanced in the short term. By 2030, he will be able to create a top 40 pop song and write a NYT bestseller.
Approximately 68% of researchers believe that superhuman AI will do more good than harm. But about half of these optimists admit a non-zero probability of human extinction.
Experts are also seriously concerned about the risks posed by AI, including the spread of disinformation and abuse by authoritarian regimes.
The researchers call for more attention to be paid to studying and minimizing threats associated with artificial intelligence. Although opinions on the speed of technology development are divided.
According to scientists, by the 2060s, artificial intelligence will be able to perform complex tasks, such as the work of a surgeon or an AI researcher.
