Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools have become extremely powerful, surprising even their creators. Now, some people say there should be a pause in AI work to make sure it doesn’t become dangerous, not everyone agrees.
Most people have probably read a book or seen a movie or show about an AI or robot that has become so smart that it can take over the world. The AI in stories like these is known as an AGI or Artificial General Intelligence. A true AGI would be intelligent in many different areas and would be able to learn on its own.
Now, there are no AGIs. Most experts believe it will be many years before an AGI could possibly be created. Most current Al tools are good at just one task, like answering questions, or identifying objects in photos. But scientists have worked to improve AI models, mainly by training the models on larger and larger collections of information. Those efforts are paving off. Extremely large models have surprised even their creators with what they can do.
The AI tools that’s got the most attention recently is ChatGPT, created by the company Open AI. ChatGPT is a Large Language Model (LLM). ChatGPT allows users to “chat” with a powerful LLM. When asked a question, ChatGPT answers quickly in perfect sentences. It makes up stories and games, writes essays, programs computers, and much more. ChatGPT appears to be extremely intelligent. But really, ChatGPT is simply guessing-based on its training information-which word is most likely to come next, over and over again.
Last month, OpenAI announced a more powerful model, called GPT-4. GPT-4 can create and explain jokes, and pass tests that are difficult for humans. GPT-4 was also trained on images, and can use them in powerful ways. For example, it can create a working website from a description and a rough drawing of the site.
The rapid progress of recent AI models worries some people. Last week, many computer experts released a letter calling for a six-month pause for any work on AI tools stronger than GPT4. Not all AI experts agreed with the letter. ChatGPT has caused so much excitement that many companies are likely to keep developing powerful AI tools. But the letter has sent a strong warning that many people-including leaders-will be thinking about carefully.
