Hardly any other topic concerns the stock markets as much as artificial intelligence. But now Microsoft’s AI boss has warned of a major danger.
• Microsoft AI boss: AI superintelligence should be “anti-target”.
• She may become too powerful to control
• Regulations and guardrails are necessary
Since the launch of the chatbot ChatGPT in November 2022, there has been a real AI hype. Many companies want to keep up with such applications, which increases the need for specialized technology in data centers. NVIDIA in particular can benefit greatly from this, because the NVIDIA technologies originally developed for graphics cards have also proven themselves for AI applications. Thanks to its technological lead, the US company was able to become the market leader and now controls around 80 percent of the global market for AI high-performance processors.
As a result, he is becoming a high-flyer on the stock market: at the end of October, NVIDIA became the first company ever to achieve a market value of over five trillion US dollars. The chip designer is the figurehead of the AI boom, but many other companies are also benefiting enormously from it.
Microsoft’s AI boss expects AGI in five years
But while the stock markets are fueled by the imagination surrounding the future potential of AI, there are also warning voices. These have been largely ignored so far, but now no less than Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s AI boss, has warned about the dangers of artificial intelligence.
As the online portal “Mint” reports, Suleyman agreed in an episode of the “Silicon Valley Girl Podcast” with the prediction of Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, that AGI will be achieved in the next five years. According to Hassabis, AI will then be able to achieve human performance in most tasks.
Suleyman sees Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) as “one step ahead of superintelligence.” He defined this as an AI system that can improve itself, set its own goals and even act independently of humans and added that this “doesn’t feel like a positive vision of the future.”
Strong warning about super AI
“It would be very difficult to contain something like that or to reconcile it with our values. So that should be the anti-target,” Suleyman warned. For this reason, he believes it is necessary to develop regulations and guardrails to ensure that these autonomous agents work together with humans and are not left to their own devices.
Given this, the AI expert assured that Microsoft is building a humanistic version of superintelligence that is “aligned with our interests, works in our team and supports us,” as he explained.
