Yuval Noah Harari on Artificial Intelligence
Picturegenerated by Gemini AI: „Alien AI”I can’t resist quoting a small excerpt from Wired’s interview with Israeli writer Yuval Noah Harari, titled ‘How Do We Share the Planet With This New Superintelligence?’
Ask the entrepreneurs, businesspeople, and government leaders who are leading this AI revolution, “Why the rush?” and nearly all of them answer: “We know it’s risky, for sure. We know it’s dangerous. We understand that it would be wiser to go slower and invest in safety. But we cannot trust our human competitors. If other companies and countries accelerate their development of AI while we are trying to slow it down and make it safer, they will develop superintelligence first and dominate the world. So we have no choice but to move forward as fast as possible to stay ahead of the unreliable competition.”
But then I asked those responsible for AI a second question: “Do you think we can trust the superintelligence you are developing?” Their the answer was: “Yes.” This is almost insane. People who don’t even trust other humans somehow think they can trust this alien AI.
