In a month they will be three years since Chatgpt will be launched to the public. In technological terms, it’s a long time. Supposedly, logic suggests that it has already happened enough for experts and users to get used to AI and have lost their fear. So why isn’t it? Specialists like Yoshua Bengio demonstrate the opposite.
Not only do they continue to insist on the dangers that this technology can bring with them, but also their messages become more and more sinister and catastrophists. To what extent is human extinction a possibility? The one known as one of the «sponsors of AI» has even dared to go further: he has set a date. And it is quite imminent.
A huge threat to humanity, according to Yoshua Bengio
Every day more experts in artificial intelligence arise determined to put fear in the body to the common of mortals. They may be right or may not, but they talk about mass unemployment, social disruptions or unstoppable growth of inequality: increasingly rich and getting poorer. But none of that seems important after Yoshua Bengio’s apocalyptic message.
For those who do not know him, Bengio is an eminence. This Canadian scientist works as a professor at the University of Montreal, is co -founder of Mila (Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms) and received the 2018 Turing Award, along with Geoffrey Hinton and Yann Lecun. Interestingly, the three are now the most critical voices with the technology they helped create.
Because, when people talk about Yoshua Bengio as «IA sponsors», he doesn’t exaggerate at all. His investigations in what is usually known as deep learning (Deep Learning, call the Angloplants) They laid the bases of neural networks that today drive models such as chatgpt or gemini. So yes, without his work the AI would not exist as he does today.
That is why their opinions on artificial intelligence are so important, and so they are usually collected in prestigious media around the world. Especially when shown as direct as he has done this time. For Bengio, the extinction of humanity is not only a possibility, but would be closer than anyone might think.
Machines that end human beings
Ten years. That is what would remain in existence to humanity If Yoshua Bengio’s bad omen they came true. It is the time that, in his opinion, it will take time to create such complex artificial intelligence systems that they develop their own interests. Actually, he says, it is something that is already happening: «Human life is no longer a priority,» he says.
Bengio’s message, yes, is not exclusive. Many are experts who insist that creating a rival for humans more intelligent than humans themselves is not the best possible ideas. Among others, their own former colleagues Hinton and Lecun coincide. Is it true that when the river sounds, water carries?
