In a blog post on Monday, Microsoft-backed OpenAI shared the reason behind regularising AI.
ChatGPT maker OpenAI has now proposed the idea of creating a new international body in order to regulate artificial intelligence (AI). Led by CEO Sam Altman, the company mentioned that AI systems in the next ten years could have expert skills in most domains and, hence, be able to perform tasks productively, similar to the largest corporations today.
In a blog post on Monday, OpenAI shared the reason for regularising AI. The company stated, "The governance of the most powerful systems, as well as decisions regarding their deployment, must have strong public oversight. We believe people around the world should democratically decide on the bounds and defaults for AI systems."
"We don't yet know how to design such a mechanism, but we plan to experiment with its development," it added.
The blog post, which was written by Open AI founder Sam Altman, President Greg Brockman, and Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever, compared ‘superintelligence’ to nuclear energy, thereby proposing the idea of the creation of an authority akin to the International Atomic Energy Agency in order to curb the risks of AI.
Hence, governments around the world could either set up a regulatory system involving leading AI manufacturers or the companies could themselves limit AI growth to a certain rate per year.
