Google’s announcement comes in the middle of a campaign to curb the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence. The researchers and experts in the sector are signing letters and publishing studies asking to support guides and rigid rules to progress to avoid the risks.
“Don’t be bad,” says the historic Google motto. A slogan that clashes with the New company policies. And in fact, Google had promised in 2018 that his artificial intelligence would not be used for develop weapons or surveillance tools. Then, on February 4, he takes a step back updating his ethical guides. Demis hassabishead of Google’s AI, explained that a revision is needed to adapt to a world in constant evolution“and artificial intelligence”, he says, “should also be used for the national security “.
In a blog post, Hassabis and the senior vice -president for the technology and company of the company, James Manyika, wrote: “We believe that companies, governments and organizations that share democratic values must collaborate to create artificial intelligence that protects people promote global growth e supports national security“So also weapons and surveillance systems.
What is written in Google’s post
Google’s post explains that since the company has published its guidelines for artificial intelligence for the first time (those that prevented the software from creating “weapons or other technologies whose main purpose or implementation of or directly implementing or facilitates injuries to people “and” technologies that collect or use information for the surveillance violating accepted rules “), The technology has evolved quickly. “Billions of people use the IA in their daily lives. The IA has become a commonly used technology and a platform that countless organizations and individuals use to create applications”, explain Hassabis and Manyika.
The suffering of artificial intelligence, experts: “soon it will be sentient we have to protect it”
“It has gone from being a topic of niche search in the laboratory to a technology that is becoming pervasive as much as cell phones and the internet itself itself; a technology with numerous benefits for society and people around the world, supported by a lively ecosystem of artificial intelligence developers“.
Because the new Google guidelines can be very dangerous
Google’s announcement comes in the middle of a campaign for curb the uncontrolled development of artificial intelligence. The researchers and experts in the sector are signing letters and publishing studies asking to support guidelines and rigid rules to progress to avoid the risks.
The British computer scientist Stuart Russell has repeatedly underlined the dangers of the development of autonomous weapon systems, “it is necessary to develop a global control system,” he said. The same Geoffrey Hinton, Nobel Prize christened godfather of artificial intelligence launched the alarm: “Technology is advancing faster than expected and we have never had to deal with something more intelligent than us. And how many examples we know something more intelligent that is controlled by something less intelligent“
