The authors of an open letter advocating a "pause" in the development of advanced artificial intelligence have urged researchers to back their call, after coming under fire for alarmism. In this edition of Tech 24, we speak to Mark Brakel from the Future of Life Institute think tank, which penned the open letter.
The letter, published by the Future of Life Institute think tank and signed by AI experts as well as tech leaders Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and Jaan Tallinn, cites a study by University of Washington as evidence for "AI systems with human-competitive intelligence" posing "profound risks to society and humanity."
