People who Study the nuclear war for life, they are certain that artificial intelligence soon sits a fatal weapon. None of them is quite certain what exactly it means.
In mid -July, the Nobel Prize winners gathered at the University of Chicago to hear experts in the nuclear war they talk about the end of the world. In closed sessions within two days scientists, former state officials and retired military staff enlightened the laureates about the most destructive weapons ever created. The goal was to educate some of the most respected people in the world about one of the most terrifying weapons ever created, and finally Laureates issue political recommendations for world leaders on the avoidance of nuclear war.
And they meant everyone. “We enter the new world of artificial intelligence and developing technologies affecting our daily lives, but also influencing the nuclear world in which we live”, ” Scott SaganProfessor Stanford known for research on nuclear disarmament, he said during a press conference at the end of the talks.
It is a statement that it accepts, taking into account the inevitability of the rule mixing artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons – something that everyone believed in Chicago believed.
“It’s like electricity,” he says Bob LatiffA retired General of the American Air Force and a member of the Atomic Science and Security Board Bulletin. “He will perform everything.” Latiff is one of the people who help to set the Holocaust Clock every year.
“The conversation about artificial intelligence and Nuks is challenging by several main problems. The first is that no one really knows what artificial intelligence is,” says Jon Wolfsthal, a non -concretion expert who is the director of global risk in the federation of American scientists, and previously he was a special assistant to Barack Obama.
“What does it mean to ensure a and control over nuclear weapons? What does it mean [computer chip] Nuclear weapon control? “Asks Herb HerbProfessor Stanford and a graduate of Doomsday Clock. “Part of the problem is that vast language models have taken over the debate.”
First, good news. Nobody thinks that ChatgPT or GROK will receive nuclear codes in the near future. Wolfsthal tells me that there are many “theological” differences between nuclear experts, but they are united on this front. “In this kingdom, almost everyone says that we want effective human control over making decisions about nuclear weapons,” he says.
Despite this, Wolfsthal heard whispers of others regarding the applications of LLM in the heart of American power. “Many people said:” Well, look, everything I want to do is to have an interactive computer available to the president, so that Putin or XI will do, and I can reliably produce this set of data. “
