The development of such an AI should not be halted or legislated but encouraged in every possible way. As long as there is a human at the top we will have to deal with the constant tribal prejudice, corruption, incompetence and warmongering that goes with it. On the upside, and with a bit of luck new human intelligence-level AI's will be able to replace the world's political elites of lawmakers who are entirely unfit for any duty and incapable of meeting the imminent threats to humanity, the environment and the planet as a whole. CAIRO Last November’s United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, concluded on a historic high note, with the last-minute agreement to establish a loss and damage fund. They will not wait for any agreements and put their new AI's into operation as soon as having developed them. They have already shown that disregarding the intellectual property rights of the entire world's artist community past and present and tossing it in the bin was tolerated and met with no consequences. The tech companies motto to move fast and break things will see to it that it will never be a threat to them and their products. These multiple international agreements will take decades to achieve, if ever at all.

But it also can supercharge the production and dissemination of fake news displace human labor on a large scale and create dangerous, disruptive tools that are potentially inimical to our very existence. And it can greatly enhance research and development, potentially ushering in a new golden age of innovation. It can also deliver education and health care to millions of people who are neglected under existing frameworks. But such transformative developments have also had negative implications, and the rapid deployment of AI tools will be no different.ĪI can perform tasks that individuals are loathe to do. These new AI models’ apparent sophistication has beaten most experts’ predictions by a decade.įor centuries, breakthrough innovations – from the invention of the printing press and the steam engine to the rise of air travel and the internet – have propelled economic development, expanded access to information, and vastly improved health care and other essential services. In the space of just two weeks, the world witnessed the launch of GPT-4, Bard, Claude, Midjourney V5, Security Copilot, and many other AI tools that have surpassed almost everyone’s expectations. MADRID/NEW DELHI – Future historians may well mark the second half of March 2023 as the moment when the era of artificial intelligence truly began.
