Partnership on AI: In 2014, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Mr. Elon Musk, stated in an interview that AI will be the biggest threat to human existence. That didn't stop him from co-chairing a billion-dollar AI research nonprofit.
This, of course, has not stopped many thinkers from wondering if artificial intelligence really could escape any human control.
Today the five biggest Companies tech giants like Google and its subsidiary DeepMind, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon and IBM have joined forces in a partnership that will focus on AI. The name of the organization?
A coalition devoted to highlighting best practices and ethics research that should distinguish the field of artificial intelligence.
The team points out that “we anticipate great social benefits and opportunities in the future, but we also understand that as with any new technology there will be problems and confusion about new applications and capabilities. We look forward to working together on these important issues. We intend to address important issues such as ethics, security, transparency, privacy, prejudice, and justice. "
For this purpose, the new organization Partnership on AI υπόσχεται να μοιραστεί τις βέλτιστες πρακτικές που θα εξασφαλίσουν ένα θετικό αντίκτυπο στην κοινωνία. Προτίθεται επίσης να ερευνήσει τη χρήση της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης σε τομείς όπως η υγειονομική περίθαλψη και οι μεταφορές. Προτίθεται επίσης να προσφέρει τους απαραίτητους πόρους όπως εκπαιδευτικό υλικό και forums για συζητήσεις στην development of artificial intelligence.
Of course, the new AI organization is not a formal regulatory body and will have no authority control about how the technology will evolve, how it will be developed and how it will be used globally.
