Musk: the Development of China and Russia in the field of AI can provoke a Third world
Source:
The First of September 2017 Vladimir Putin visits Yaroslavl, where he took part in the forum of professional navigation «Proektoriya», which was held from the first to the fourth of September. During the meeting with students the President answered their questions and addressed a number of important topics, including and told about his attitude to artificial intelligence. Quote of the President was voiced by the RT, after which he attracted the attention not only of the foreign press, but also the head of SpaceX Elon musk.
Putin suggested that the country has achieved leadership in this field, can «become master of the world», and noted that he personally would be very reluctant to AI became a monopoly in someone's certain hands, but promised that if Russia achieves significant progress in this area, we would be happy to share their developments in this field with other countries, as it already does in other fields of science and technology.
«Artificial intelligence — this is the future of not only Russia, this is the future of all mankind. Here, it is difficult to forecast today's threats. But not to stand in the back of the line, you need to work on that today», — quotes the President TASS.
The Head of SpaceX and Tesla Elon Musk had tweeted a link to an article by The Verge, is devoted to the Putin's conversation with students, in comments to the tweet that the technological race to develop AI at the national level could cause a Third world war. In the message he mentioned China, Russia and other countries that have serious experience in the field of high technologies.
Previously, Elon Musk has prepared an appeal to the UN, which called for the development of methods of regulating the development and use of military robots and AI, as they, in his opinion, can become a serious threat to peace in . His position, he argued that he owns a non-profit organization OpenAI, which is developing an open and friendly artificial intelligence, and therefore has an idea about the subject. The petition, the Mask was signed by the heads of various technology companies, but many analysts and scientists was skeptical about the warning of head of SpaceX, noting that it is distracting the government and developers from far more important tasks.
Subscribers Mask is also divided opinions. Many supported him, but some expressed doubt that Russia has a sufficient level of knowledge in the field of AI, noting that if anyone will seek the leadership, it is certainly not Russia, and China. Some did not perceive the tweet Mask seriously and began to post gifs of the Terminator and throw links to Russian Fyodor robot which learned to shoot with two hands.
Position Elon musk is understandable, because to predict the impact of AI on our lives in the future is quite difficult, so his concern is to some extent justified. Even the most peaceful and desired development can be turned into a dangerous weapon that threatens all humanity.
