So against this background, a recent Article Princeton’s two AI researchers felt quite provocative. Arvind Narayanan, who directs the University’s Information Technology policy, and doctorate candidate Siash Kapoor has written a 40 -page request for everyone to calm down and think of AI as a common technology. It is “a separate species, a highly autonomous, potentially equivalent to a supernet -based entity.”
Instead, according to researchers, AI is a common purpose technology whose application can be better than adopting electricity or Internet than nuclear weapons-though they admit that this is a poorly similar way.
Kapoor says the main point is that we need to start a gap between AI’s rapid growth MannerWhat can AI do in the AI ​​lab its shiny and impressive display – and what comes from reality Applications AI’s, which has been lagging behind for decades in historical examples of other technologies.
Kapoor told me, “AI neglects this process of most of the discussion of the social impact,” and expects to have social effects at the pace of technological development. “In other words, adopting useful artificial intelligence, in this view, will be less and more difficult than a tsunami.
In the article, the pair gives some other arguments: The terms such as “superteantalins” are so contradictory and speculative that we should not use them. The AI ​​will not automatically automatically, but will give rise to a category of human labor that oversees, authenticity and monitoring AI. And we should focus more on the possibility of worsening current problems in society than it is more likely to be born.
Narayanan says, “AI sprinkles capitalism. He says it has the potential to help or hurt in inequality, labor markets, free presses, and democratic backing, it depends on how it has been deployed.
AI has a dangerous deployment that the authors leave, though: the use of AI by militants. This, of course. , Picking up rapidly, raising alarms that life and death decisions are being rapidly obtained with the help of AI. The authors excluded this use from their article because it is difficult to analyze without access to classified information, but they say their research on the subject is coming.
One of the biggest implications to understand the AI ​​as a “normal” is that it will improve the position that the Biden administration and now the Trump White House have taken: The construction of the best AI is a priority for national security, and the federal government should take different steps – which can be exported to China and it can be exported. In his dissertation, the two authors have called the US “AIRMS race” rhetoric “shrill”.
