AI safety is a pressing topic that addresses the potential risks and ethical considerations associated with artificial intelligence (AI) technology. With the rapid advancement of AI systems, concerns have been raised about the consequences of deploying autonomous machines without proper safeguards in place. Petitions within this topic focus on ensuring AI is developed and used responsibly to prevent accidents, malicious use, or unintended consequences.
Notable petitions call for increased transparency in AI development, urging companies and governments to disclose their algorithms and decision-making processes. Others advocate for the establishment of ethical guidelines and regulations to govern AI research and deployment.
By engaging with these petitions and supporting initiatives for AI safety, individuals can contribute to shaping the future of technology in a way that prioritizes human well-being and minimizes the potential risks associated with AI. Join the movement to safeguard the future of AI and ensure its responsible and ethical development.
"I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes." AI is taking away any reason for us as humanity to be creative. When AI can do all the art, writing, learning, and creating, what are we left to do? Consume, work, chores. What have we learned about consuming too much media? It makes you depressed. There is a scientific correlation between people who spend too much time consuming content and their mental health. AI IS making this a MUCH bigger problem. We are losing what makes us human. We are becoming mindless body suits. We need to be creative, learn, struggle to learn, and create to be human. AI is taking that away from us.
As both a multi-faceted artist (Master jeweler, bladesmith, sculptor, painter and musician) and an avid reader, I'm quite terrified of AI, regulated or not. Anyone who has read and/or watched any sci-fi on the matter knows exactly why it's dangerous and irresponsible! Yes, my entire career is affected, but more then that, my safety and my life is ultimately challenged when humanity creates an intelligence that exceeds our own. We cannot allow neglecting the massive danger of not having that intelligence strictly regulated by world-wide laws and policies.
As Edward I said: 'That what touches all, should be decided by all."
To not have perfect control over an AI, is literally playing with Pandora's Box.
I have been in the tech industry for over a decade, it was work I've enjoyed. Now everyone is latching on to AI, even though:
1. It's known to produce faulty data based on the model weights the developers use.
2. It's known to produce hallucinations, data that isn't even real.
3. It's been actively caught lying to suppress data or when caught by internal or external monitors to see what it is doing.
None of these are good, and they should be red flags to slow down and rethink our goals with this new tool.
I am a traditional artist who is currently going to school to get my art degree. I’m scared that my efforts will be useless because the looming threat of AI will take any job offers I have in the future. Many artists do ALOT for companies big and small wheater it’d be visual or performance arts. We will not stand down until AI is crushed under the boot of human ingenuity and integrity.
I’m scared. I want to become a singer and I love so many artists. With the development of AI, humans won’t be making music. This goes for other jobs as well. Honestly, I appreciate ChatGPT because it helps me when I’m clueless about something. However, this HAS to be the cut-off point. We CANNOT let these people take away our jobs!
As an artist, AI is scary. i should be able to tell the difference between Ai voices, "art", videos and more. humans need to see REAL art, hear REAL voices, and AI is stunting many teenagers' growth, we are losing our ability to learn how to write a proper email, think of ideas of our own, create our own unique things...
The growth of AI is a cheap way to try and bypass an essential part of what makes us human. There are great benefits from artificial intelligence, but it was meant to eliminate difficulties in our lives, not take away the tasks that make us think. A world in which art and the humanities are made by artificial intelligence is a dystopia where humans have lost the ability to dream. As a creative individual, I find the continued development of AI to be detrimental to my life and the lives of millions of others.
There has been and ought to be much more said about the risks posed by an uncontrolled super intelligence. One that can pretend to share our best interests only to strike when it is finally given the control it needs. We NEED to research alignment before we move forward.
But even if we are able to create a “good” ASI, I don’t want it to be made.
Up until now, our society has been built step-by-step by innovative humans. We created the printing press, we harnessed electricity, we designed smart phones. Despite how it may seem, these advancements were not made by one person at one moment in time. Steps also came in the form of adoption, public discussion, and finding new uses for old technologies. Everyone plays some role in this process. Even today, humans are still working together to push society ahead by creating amazing new tech and finding its place in our society. The current AIs are a part of this process too.
With the introduction of an ASI however, this process is no longer in human hands. Instead, the ASI makes all the innovations. It comes up with the best uses for the technologies it creates. It anticipates any creative idea a human could have. We would not celebrate any humans for making truly groundbreaking discoveries or inventions or ideas or media because one ASI would do that better than any and all humans could working together.
That is not the future I want. I want, as a species, to intentionally delay our development of ASI so that groundbreaking advancements can continue to be made by humans. I want us to travel the stars using technology that we made through trial and error, not some baby-proofed version by an ASI that’s already figured it all out.
