In a blog post last month, Gates called AI the “most important technological advance” since the development of computers and smartphones
Former Microsoft CEO and billionaire Bill Gates said in an interview with Reuters that stopping the development of artificial intelligence, as suggested last week by more than 1,000 artificial intelligence (AI) experts, including Elon Musk, would not “solve the challenges ” that we have ahead.
The Microsoft co-founder said he did not understand how a pause in AI, in which Microsoft has invested heavily, could work globally, adding that asking certain groups to pause development does not solve challenges in the field, Gates said. to Reuters.
Gates suggested instead that people focus on how to best use advances in the field and “identify the difficult areas.”
Gates told Reuters that he did not understand how a development pause could be imposed: “I don’t really understand who says they could stop, and if all the countries in the world would agree to stop, and why stop.”
Last week, in a letter signed by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Musk and hundreds of others, experts argued that “more powerful” artificial intelligence systems, such as those that can hold human-like conversations, should be put on hold. Paused to assess potential risks and benefits to society. Tech experts said that developers should take a step back from the “race without control” because the powerful systems that creators are developing cannot be fully understood, predicted or controlled by anyone.
In a blog post last month, Gates called AI the “most important technological advance” since the development of computers and smartphones. He suggested that AI could be used to improve access to healthcare and education around the world and promised that using advances in AI to help the world’s poorest people would be a priority for the Gates Foundation. He had previously said that the Microsoft-backed artificial intelligence program OpenAI performs better than others in this field and called the wide availability of ChatGPT “very impressive.”
