what happen?
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, known as the "Father of ChatGPT", published a blog post "The Intelligence Age" on September 23, claiming that "deep learning has succeeded" and will soon Entering a new era of "smart era".
Altman believes that AI will not only improve scientific progress, solve climate change, establish space colonies, and even master all the mysteries of physics, these things may become routine in the future.
Altman pointed out that the expansion of "deep learning" will allow AI to solve problems in various fields. He predicted that as the technology develops, it will bring "unimaginable prosperity."
Is superintelligence coming?
Altman stated in the article that after thousands of years of scientific discovery and technological progress, humans have finally created a computer system that can generate powerful artificial intelligence. From melting sand, making computer chips, and using those chips to generate AI, this series of technological breakthroughs is one of the most influential facts in history.
He even pointed out that within "thousands of days" in the future, AI may develop superintelligence, which is artificial intelligence that is more powerful than humans. He believes that the key to all this lies in "deep learning". As deep learning technology scales, AI becomes increasingly powerful, and OpenAI and other companies continue to invest significant resources in promoting this technology.
🚀Deep learning: A technology that imitates the way the human brain works, automatically learning patterns in data through multi-layered neural networks. It can process large amounts of data and be used for tasks such as image recognition and speech recognition, allowing machines to make predictions or decisions more intelligently.
Deep learning technology can learn the "rules" of various data distributions. As more computing resources and data are invested, AI's performance in solving complex problems will become more and more accurate.
However, according to foreign media "VentureBeat", this statement is significantly earlier than the expectations of many experts. Most people generally believe that superintelligence will take at least five years or more to be realized. The media pointed out that although AI has made progress in medicine and scientific research, most current applications of AI are still limited to assisting human work rather than completely replacing humans.
AI should avoid becoming a scarce resource
Altman admitted in this article that the development of AI is not completely risk-free. He pointed out that if we want more people to use human AI, we need to reduce the cost of computing and make these resources more popular. Because if sufficient infrastructure is not established, AI may become a "scarce resource", even trigger wars, and eventually become a tool controlled by the rich.
In addition, Altman believes that AI may have a significant impact on the labor market, including both good and bad changes. But while many jobs will change as a result, it may be slower than most people expect. Ultraman bluntly said: "Human beings will still have no shortage of things to do."
"We need to act both wisely and resolutely. The advent of the 'Smart Age' is an important development, accompanied by very complex and high-risk challenges. The process is not entirely positive, but its potential benefits are so great that we have a responsibility to ourselves and the future, find ways to deal with immediate risks," Altman wrote.
