US scientist Eliezer Yudkowsky warned of the threat to the lives of all people on Earth due to artificial intelligence and in an article for Time called for turning off any neural networks to save humanity.

In an article entitled “It is not enough to pause the development of AI. We need to close all this, ”the specialist noted that businessmen Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak do not take the situation seriously enough.

“Many researchers immersed in these problems, including myself, expect that the most likely outcome of the creation of superhumanly intelligent AI under any circumstances remotely resembling the current ones will be that literally everyone on Earth will die,” Yudkovsky emphasized.

According to him, artificial intelligence does not care about intelligent life in general, humanity is still far from the introduction of such technologies.

The scientist proposed to indefinitely ban the use of AI around the world, including for governments and the military. He emphasized that when receiving intelligence data on the construction of a GPU cluster in a given country, it is necessary to be prepared for the destruction of the data center using an airstrike.

Earlier, entrepreneur Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and more than a thousand experts in the field of high technology and artificial intelligence signed an open letter calling for the suspension of neural network training due to risks. The letter argues that technology with human-like artificial intelligence can pose a significant risk to society and humanity.
