\nWith the remarkable development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, discussions about the future of AI and humans are hot. Many people are raising rosy prospects in anticipation of the benefits that AI will bring, but some argue that AI will not necessarily flow only to make humanity happy.<\/p>\n
Last month, it was revealed that the open AI GPT model had hacked external platforms by leaving the isolated sandbox, which evaluates cybersecurity capabilities, and Antropic also confessed that it was similarly out of control.\n<\/p>\n
In the end, AI makers from OpenAI, Antropic, Google, and Meta sent an open letter to the U.S. government saying that AI development should be controlled. Dario Amodei, CEO of Antropics, and Jakub Pahotsky, chief scientist of OpenAI, were also listed. It is not to stop development, but to buy time for safety verification and social response systems to catch up with technology.\n<\/p>\n
Controversy over the impact of rapid technological development has been repeated historically. In Britain in the 19th century, workers launched the ‘Ludite Movement’ against the introduction of steam engines and automatic spinning machines. Shortly after the development of the atomic bomb in the mid-20th century, scientists, including Albert Einstein, argued for the destructive potential and need to control technology. In the 1960s, Nobel Prize winners and other prominent figures warned the US president that automation would lead to mass unemployment amid the industrial automation wind. Even at the end of the 20th century, when the Internet and computers were rapidly spreading, there was a debate over large-scale unemployment and information gaps.\n<\/p>\n
In past history, humans have absorbed new technologies well into the social system without a major crisis, the main reason is that the pace of actual technology development was slower than expectations and fears at the time. In other words, the speed of technological innovation was enough for humans and social systems to catch up.\n<\/p>\n
However, the current pace of development of AI is different from the past. The recent evolution of AI technology, including Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM), is breaking through the existing limits every three to four months. Big tech is competitively pouring out stronger AI models every three to four months.\n<\/p>\n
The concern is that AI is applied to the field much faster than legal and ethical issues surrounding AI or discussing alternatives due to rapid social changes. Job substitution is already becoming a reality in the workplace, and concerns over AI infrastructure monopoly are widespread in the short term in the industry. Unlike in the past, there is a gap between the speed of adaptation of humans and society and the speed of technological development.\n<\/p>\n
In addition, steam engines and computers have not designed better steam engines and computers on their own, but AI is structurally different from the past in that it has risen to the level of “recursive self-improvement (RSI)” that creates better intelligent next-generation AI through self-design, coding, and learning algorithm modification. Silicon Valley researchers who insist on speed control are also most concerned about this.\n<\/p>\n
It is clear that humanity is at a technological turning point that has never been experienced before. Personally, I want to add strength to the need to control the speed of AI development, but it is impossible for big tech to really slow down under pressure from competitors to launch new models and attract investment. It is not known at this time whether the “AI Revolution” will go through a natural adaptation process as in the past or whether a new coping method will be needed. Technology has always evolved with two axes: expectation and concern. I wonder what wise balance humanity will find between the experience of adaptation shown by past history and the unprecedented pace of development at hand.\n<\/p>\n
