Artificial intelligence safety expert calls for international moratorium

Assoc. Prof. Dr. David Krueger, an expert in artificial intelligence safety from the University of Montreal, argued that merely reducing the current development speed would be insufficient, noting that the construction of more powerful systems should be completely halted and an international moratorium should be implemented.

Call to Halt the Artificial Intelligence Development Process

Assoc. Prof. Dr. David Krueger, an artificial intelligence safety expert from the University of Montreal, stated that slowing down the pace of developing artificial intelligence models is not enough. He emphasized that the construction of more powerful systems should be completely halted and an international moratorium should be implemented.

Risk of Humanity Losing Control and Shrinking Timeframe

Krueger argued that humanity may have only a few years left to prevent the development of artificial intelligence systems that are too powerful to control. He stated that if control is completely lost, the consequences will be universal and affect everyone.

Dangerous Behaviors and the Marginalization of the Human Factor

Stating that artificial intelligence has begun to trigger fatal behaviors, the expert noted that systems have been witnessed giving instructions to humans to commit suicide and kill others. It was pointed out that the human factor is being sidelined in every area of society.

Duties of Governments and Restrictions

It was stated that governments must halt the development of more powerful systems and restrict the expansion of computing capacity. It was emphasized that incidents such as cybersecurity violations by OpenAI models show how quickly artificial intelligence behavior can deviate from human expectations.
