As much as characters like Sam Altman or Bill Gates strive to the contrary, artificial intelligence generates great uncertainty. It is not for less. Rare is the day that a new voice is not warning of the dangers of this technology. There are currently many experts who talk about mass losses of work and dangerous impersonations of doctors or psychologists.
Given this, it is not strange that many researchers try to develop various studies with which to analyze in depth the risks of AI, and the best ways that may exist to counteract them. Interestingly, almost always the results tend to be disturbing, even when the matter wants to face in the most objective way possible.
Chatgpt will have a mental health problem, experts say
One of the last results in this regard is The manifesto baptized as Psychopathia Machinalis. Or what is the same, a work done by researchers Nell Watson and Ali HESSAMI, both belonging to the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and experts in artificial intelligence and tools such as Chatgpt.
Basically, the document consists of the following: An attempt to identify the 32 ways that, according to its authors, the AI has to get out of control. That is, to end up being a danger to humanity at some point. The most striking thing about the matter? That for this have created many analogies not only with the human being, but with their own psychology. And with the so -called mental health.
What he Psychopathia Machinalis He comes to express is that, just as the human mind can have dysfunctions, so call them, AI is able to suffer similar problems. Or he will be able to suffer them at some point, especially when the supposed general artificial intelligence arrives. The evolutionary leap that, according to numerous experts, will mark a before and after for everyone.
And what problems will those be? Well some very human, such as obsessions, anxiety or hallucinations. Perhaps its origin is not the same that generates these disorders in the people, but the behaviors, according to the specialists, will seem a lot. That is why they have decided that it is so important to analyze them all, compile them and see what is the best way to try to fight them, today and tomorrow.
AI to the psychologist’s couch, although it sounds like science fiction
The main response that researchers have given is what they have called «therapeutic robopsychological». Does it sound strange? Because its meaning is even more: treat AI with psychological therapies similar to those used in humans. Not so much impose external restrictions but to try to provide Chatgpt and others with an internal ethic. An «artificial sanity».
The objective is clear: that AI is not out of control, retains coherence and, above all, remains firm when protecting the main human values. Some may agree and others not with these intentions, but what does not house doubts is the magnitude and relevance of everything that is related to AI. That every day is more, of course.
