Scientists urge to ban superintelligence: why it is dangerous for humanity.

According to inkorr.com: About 70 scientists, researchers, businessmen, and public figures have called for a ban on the development of superintelligence. Their open letter states that the process should be halted until humanity has the ability to effectively control this potentially 'powerful' tool. As reported by the agency 'Glavkom', this became known thanks to a statement from the Future of Life Institute.

The letter, published at the end of October, emphasizes the threats that a system capable of surpassing human intelligence may pose. The authors urge caution until effective control mechanisms are developed.

Support from renowned specialists

Among the signatories of the letter are leading scientists in the field of computer science, including Nobel Prize winners Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, who are often referred to as the 'fathers' of artificial intelligence. The initiative has also received support from Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Virgin Group founder Richard Branson.

Experts believe that superintelligence could significantly exceed human cognitive abilities. Some of them express concern that the creation of artificial superintelligence could lead to a loss of human control over such systems.

This call has become a significant moment in the discussion on ethics in the field of artificial intelligence. As technology develops at a rapid pace, the issues of control and safety become increasingly relevant. Developers and researchers in this area must consider the potential consequences of their actions and prioritize the safety of society.
