Artificial intelligence expert calls for halt to building advanced systems
Assoc. Prof. Dr. David Krueger from the University of Montreal stated that slowing down artificial intelligence efforts would not be enough and demanded an international moratorium.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. David Krueger, an artificial intelligence safety expert from the University of Montreal, argued that technology leaders' calls for slowing down are insufficient, stating that the construction of more powerful systems must be completely halted and an international moratorium applied.
Calls to Slow Down Found Insufficient
Assoc. Prof. Dr. David Krueger, who works in the field of artificial intelligence safety at the University of Montreal in Canada, stated that, contrary to recent calls, merely reducing the development speed will not be enough to protect humanity.
Approach of Technology Leaders
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei had called on companies on September 12 to reduce the development speed of models due to growing concerns.
Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also supported Amodei's approach via social media.
Call for an International Moratorium
Krueger emphasized that an immediate and indefinite international moratorium should be applied to efforts to develop high-performance artificial intelligence systems.
The expert stated that the only true ad hoc measure that could keep humanity safe is to completely halt the construction of these systems.
Warning That Time Is Running Out
It was argued that humanity may have only a few years left to prevent the emergence of systems powerful enough to become uncontrollable.
