Jakarta –
CEO OpenAI Sam Altman warns of the dangers behind the app’s popularity artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT. He even admitted that he was afraid to see the very fast development of AI.
As CEO of OpenAI, Altman played a major role in the development of ChatGPT. In an interview with ABC News, Altman said regulators and society must take care of this technology to avoid adverse effects on the future of humanity.
“We have to be careful. I think people should be happy that we are a little scared of this,” Altman said, as quoted by The Guardian, Saturday (18/3/2023).
“I am very concerned that this model could be used for large-scale disinformation. Now that they have gotten better at writing computer code, AI can be used for offensive cyberattacks,” he continued.
This warning was issued Altman after OpenAI released its newest AI language model GPT-4 a while ago. GPT-4 is the new brain of ChatGPT and is claimed to be much smarter and more creative, and can even analyze commands in the form of a combination of text and images.
Altman admits that GPT-4 is still not perfect and often experiences hallucinations, where this AI can display information that is considered factual but turns out to be just the result of his creation.
Even so, Altman still championed the smarter GPT-4 after successfully getting a 90% score on the advocate exam in the United States and a near perfect score on the SAT math exam for high school students. GPT-4 can also write computer code in various programming languages.
Altman also opened his voice about that concern AI can displace the human role. The 37-year-old man emphasizes that AI can only function under orders or input from humans, but he is worried about people controlling AI irresponsibly.
“There are going to be other people who don’t apply the security boundaries we enforce,” Altman said.
“Society, I think, has a limited amount of time to think about how to react to it, how to regulate it, how to deal with it,” he concluded.
