The prizes Nobel Prize in Physics Geoffrey Hinton and Chemistry Demis Hassabisrecognized for their discoveries related to artificial intelligence, insisted this Saturday on the need to adequately regulate this technology.
“It is important that regulations are done correctly“Demis Hassabis said at a press conference in Stockholm.
“That’s the most difficult thing right now, because it’s a technology that moves very fast,” added the Briton, rewarded for revealing the secrets of proteins, based on artificial intelligence and computing.
According to Hassabis, “it’s about knowing what we want to use these systems for, how we want to deploy them, and making sure that all of humanity benefits from what these systems can do,” while ensuring that actors do not reuse these tools with harmful purposes, he added.
Considered one of the founding fathers of AI, the British-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton has sounded the alarm several times about this technological revolution.
“I wish I had thought about safety sooner,” Hinton said Saturday. According to him, one of the dangers of AI in the short term is the development of lethal autonomous weapons.
“Governments are unwilling to self-regulate when it comes to lethal autonomous weapons and an arms race is underway between major weapons suppliers such as the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom and Israel,” he said.
Demis Hassabis recommended “fast and flexible” regulations to understand technological developments and adapt quickly.
In particular, this scientist advocates relying on regulations that already exist in this regard in areas such as healthcare and transportation.
The scientist told AFP that he had had conversations with Elon Musk about the “existential threat” posed by the inappropriate use of AI.
Hassabis added that he is confident Musk will “communicate that to Trump and his administration” when Donald Trump returns to the White House in January, but cautioned that he is not sure if the next US president’s entire team is fully aware of the risks involved. this advance.
