A group of prominent artificial intelligence (AI) experts, entrepreneurs and scientists have signed an open letter calling for a six-month halt on the development of AI technologies more advanced than OpenAI’s language model, GPT-4. The experts are seeking more time to understand the risks that powerful AI technologies might pose. The letter warns that the existing capabilities of language models like GPT-4 are such that they can already automate jobs and spread disinformation. The experts express concern about the distant possibility of AI systems that could replace humans altogether, and call for a public and verifiable pause that includes all those working on advanced AI models.
