Appearing on the New Yorker Radio Hour<\/a>, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI<\/a>, which created ChatGPT, says that AI is a powerful tool that will streamline human work and quicken the pace of scientific advancement.\u00a0But ChatGPT has both enthralled and terrified us, and even some of AI\u2019s pioneers are freaked out by it \u2013 by how quickly the technology has advanced.\u00a0David Remnick talks with Altman, and with computer scientist Yoshua Bengio, who won the prestigious Turing Award for his work in 2018, but recently signed an open letter calling for a moratorium on some AI research until regulation can be implemented. The stakes, Bengio says, are high. \u201cI believe there is a non-negligible risk that this kind of technology, in the short term, could disrupt democracies.\u201d\u00a0Much is being written about “AI doom, AI boom and the possible destruction of humanity<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
