Many of the leading experts in the AI industry fear that AI may become too powerful to control. Despite their fears, we know that nothing is outside of God’s control Let’s pray!

From The Epoch Times. Twitter CEO Elon Musk has joined dozens of artificial intelligence (AI) experts and industry executives in signing an open letter calling on all AI labs to “immediately pause” training of systems more powerful than Chat GPT-4 for at least six months.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

The letter, issued by the non-profit Future of Life Institute, has been signed by more than 1,100 individuals, including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Stability AI founder and CEO Emad Mostaque, and engineers from Meta and Google, among others.

They argue that AI systems with human-competitive intelligence can pose “profound risks to society and humanity,” and change the “history of life on Earth,” citing extensive research on the issue and acknowledgments by “top AI labs.”

Experts go on to state that there is currently limited planning and management regarding Advanced AI systems despite companies in recent months being “locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one—not even their creators—can understand, predict, or reliably control.” …

Safety Protocols Needed

“Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable,” it adds.

The letter then calls for a public and verifiable minimum six-month pause on the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 or a government-issued moratorium on such training if the pause cannot be enacted quickly.

During such a pause, AI labs and independent experts should use the time to create and implement a set of shared safety protocols for advanced AI design and development that are “rigorously audited” and overseen by independent third-party experts, the letter states. ///

The letter comes just two weeks after OpenAI, the creator of the artificial intelligence system ChatGPT, released the long-awaited update of its AI technology on March 14—Chat GPT-4, the most powerful AI system ever. …

ChatGPT Update Released

Earlier this week, Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, warned of the severe implications of ChatGPT being used for cybercrime and other malicious activities including spreading disinformation.

Further concerns have been raised over the software, which is trained using reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF), particularly regarding how it can be used to help students cheat on their exams and homework. …
