AI race sparks global danger: Experts warn of uncontrollable future

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu) : Amid the ongoing debate over artificial intelligence (AI), a new report has caused a global uproar. Cybersecurity and AI safety expert Roman Yampolsky of the University of Louisville has warned that AI could pose an existential threat to human civilization within the next hundred years.

In his new book, "AI: Unexplainable, Unpredictable, Uncontrollable," Yampolsky writes that no AI system in the world currently exists that can be called completely safe, reports Britain's Daily Star. He claims that due to the rapid advancement of technology, AI's capabilities could go beyond human control in the coming decades.

He said that AI's decisions are becoming so complex that it is almost impossible to understand them and predict their consequences. New research suggests that AI will soon reach a level where it will start acting on its own. This means that AI will develop its own thinking and capabilities. However, the AI ​​world is divided into two camps on this scary prediction. Research conducted by Oxford University and Bonn University in Germany found that there is only a 5% chance that AI will destroy the human race.

Meanwhile, Google Brain co-founders Andrew Ang and Yann LeCun have dismissed computer scientist Yampolsky's predictions as nonsense. They say some tech leaders are deliberately spreading confusion and panic.
