Cybersecurity and bioweapons: OpenAI boss warns of negative consequences of AI

The head of ChatGPT developer OpenAI, Sam Altman (right), assumes that in the future more content will be created by artificial intelligence than by humans. Society must also prepare for the negative consequences of the AI ​​boom.

Sam Altman emphasized this on Wednesday during an event organized by chip giant Intel. There may be negative consequences for the elections in the near future. Risks such as cybersecurity and bioweapons are also being taken more seriously. Artificial intelligence will “not just be a good story,” Altman said in an interview with Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger. But the bottom line is that it will be a positive development, he said.

With the help of artificial intelligence, it will be possible to accelerate scientific research, cure diseases and improve education, Altman emphasized. “I think it’s hard to imagine today how much better the future will be.”

But governments need a regulatory role even more than with other technologies – while AI models are still relatively weak. It should not happen that OpenAI, for example, secretly develops an AI in the basement that is smarter than humans and suddenly unleashes it on the world. Society and its institutions must be given time to gradually adapt to developments.

ChatGPT fueled the hype around artificial intelligence just over a year ago. Such AI chatbots are trained with enormous amounts of information and can formulate texts at human language levels, write software code and summarize information. The principle behind this is that they estimate word by word how a sentence should proceed.

One drawback: the software sometimes gives completely wrong answers, even if it was only based on correct information. For example, ChatGPT produced sentences on Tuesday that were sometimes completely meaningless due to a programming error. Software development is now often successfully automated using AI.

OpenAI knows that the current GPT4 model behind ChatGPT is “not particularly good,” Altman admits. But technology will improve with each generation. The OpenAI boss contradicted a recent media report that the company wanted to mobilize capital to order semiconductors worth several trillion dollars. However, it is true that the world will need much more computing power for artificial intelligence than it currently does.
