The CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, yesterday made a hymn to prudence and responsibility in the use of artificial intelligence, in which its rivals from Microsoft, with OpenAI and GPT-4, have placed themselves in the first position in a kind of competition to be in the lead.
“It worries me when people use the word race and be first,†he said in a podcast for The New York Times. Pichai said the AI ​​”is going to be incredibly beneficial” but “clearly has the potential to do damage in a profound way.” For this reason, he stated that “it is very important that we all be responsible for the way we approach her.”
Pichai explained that “we are in very, very early stages.” “You’re going to have systems that are capable of delivering benefits on a scale that we’ve never seen before and potentially do real harm,†he said. The top manager of Google and its parent company, Alphabet, indicated that you have to worry about the security of AI “because you have to anticipate and evolve.”
Pichai declared himself optimistic about the control and regulation of artificial intelligence. “I think people will care and respond,†he observed. But the right way to do it is by worrying about it. At least I would never dismiss any of the fears, and I’m glad people take it seriously.”
