Former New York Times columnist and new CBS correspondent Ross Douthat warned during his debut on 60 Minutes that there is a narrow window left to make artificial intelligence safe for humanity.
Warning for Artificial Intelligence Safety
Former New York Times columnist and new CBS correspondent Ross Douthat made significant statements during the Last Minute segment of the 60 Minutes season premiere. Douthat stated that instead of the next decade, there may be a very narrow window within this year to make artificial intelligence safe for humanity.
Resignations and Risks from the Industry
This warning came after the announcement that Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon resigned in the belief that artificial intelligence could destroy humanity by the end of the decade. Evan Hubinger, head of Anthropic Alignment Science, also supported this post.
Call to Slow Down Advanced Models
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed slowing down the pace of developing powerful models to allow more time for safety research and precautions. This call was also supported by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Elon Musk.
Artificial Intelligence Steps in the Defense Sector
On the other hand, Foundation Future Industries, supported by Eric Trump and led by CEO Sankaet Pathak, received a $24 million contract from the Department of Defense and is testing combat robots with US defense forces.
