Open letter to pause AI developments: Explained
World leaders recently signed an open letter asking to pause giant AI experiments.
Elon Musk, Yuval Noah Harari, Steve Wozniak and many more signed it.
Let me break it down for you like a YouTuber dissecting rap lyrics

Aight boom. first up.
1. Did we plan for it? (To develop and deploy powerful digital minds)
2. Do we know the consequences
3. Multiple AI labs on a race, is that healthy?
Next up
We all know AI will take away jobs,
but the question is should we let them take away the fulfilling ones too?
I asked ChatGPT this question and here's the answer ๐
OpenAI founder actually talks about this openly.
I think he even said something similar on the Lex Fridman Podcast.
If these open letters can't pause it then govts must step in.
Italy and China have already banned ChatGPT.
Finally, the letter ended up with this ๐
AI must have:
- Regulatory authorities
- Tracking systems & large pools of computation
- Watermark to distinguish real from artificial
- Audit & certified ecosystem
- Penalty on AI-caused harm
- Public funding for AI research
- Being prepared for AI-caused Political disruption.
Elon Musk tweeted out a good joke on AI becoming a god.
Here's Tim Urban talking about the open letter in the Reddit AMA.
Tim had written these two blogs 8 years ago ๐๐

Part 2 - AI Revolution: Our Immortality or Extinction - (Read here)
Watch this video on Yuval Noah Harari talking about AI risks.
This was recorded 59 years ago. What will a decade from now look like in the world of AI ๐
OpenAI launched GPT-4 and Plugins.
Deepmind and Google Brain AI team are working together (Even though they are part of the same company Alphabet)
Is there any way the world can stop the AI wars now? Only time will tell.
On Reddit, someone posted a YT where ChatGPT replies to the letter with Benedict Cumberbatch's voice.
This stuff is really scary with BG music and robot mouth movement.
Whatโs your opinion on this open letter? Should the world pause AI developments?
