Both Elon Musk and Sam Altman usually speak of general artificial intelligence (AGI), and the possibilities he will offer in the future. However, some experts are not clear that it will become a reality. Among them, one of the greatest specialists in relation to this technology, one of his «parents.»
According to him, Talking about general artificial intelligence not only involves an error, but a very dangerous one. More than anything because it confuses people, who tends to associate tools such as Chatgpt with apocalyptic scenarios in the purest style Terminator o Matrix. That is, a moment in which AI will have its own awareness and things like that, which really generate uncertainty.
What if Elon Musk and Sam Altman were wrong with AI?
There is much talk about general artificial intelligence. Among them, characters as media as Elon Musk or Sam Altman, the main head of Chatgpt. However, not everyone agrees with this vision. Without going any further, Yann Lecun, the chief scientist of AI in Meta and one of the greatest deep learning specialists that exist at the moment.
To begin with, it is worth understanding well what is general artificial intelligence. Basically, it refers to hypothetical artificial intelligence capable of performing any cognitive task that a human being can do. Or what is the same, a more or less capable technology to reason for herself, without the need for any supervision and so that she will make her own decisions.
Lecun considers that thinking about something like artificial consciences that at some point could replace people is far from adjusting to the reality that exists today, or that could happen in the future. Moreover, in a recent Nvidia event, He has recognized that he is «fed up with the term general artificial intelligence»that does not stop sounding at all hours.
«The AI is destined to become a powerful tool, not an autonomous threat,» said Lecun. According to their criteria, it is clear that AI will help workers in many tasks, especially those most repetitive and autonomous, but that At no time will humans replace, as Sam Altman or Elon Musk suggest. Among other things, because he cannot.
The limits of artificial intelligence, to debate
Yann Lecun is clear that artificial intelligence is a tool, but much less the revolution that usually imagines. In fact, he is part of those experts who are clear that AI will not have human capacities such as understanding or the possibility of planning in the long term.
His perspective, much more pragmatic, is in an intermediate position between those who consider that the AI will change the world, and those (which there are also) that qualify their advances of an authentic bullshit. Is it true, once again, that in the middle is where virtue is found?
