Absolutely ridiculous: Meta’s top official replied to Elon Musk, said – his suspicion is completely wrong

New Delhi. Yan Lakun, chief AI scientist at Facebook’s parent company Meta and professor at New York University, has described Elon Musk’s statement as ‘absurd’ in which he said that AI has the potential to destroy humanity. Twitter and Tesla owner Elon Musk said during a conversation with a former journalist that AI is more dangerous than a poorly designed aircraft. According to Musk, “No matter how much one underestimates this possibility, it is not a small thing. It (AI) has the potential to destroy humanity.”

Lakun has reacted to this. He said in venture capitalist Harry Stebingl’s podcast, “This is completely wrong. It seems that Musk and some others are talking like this after reading Nick Bostrom’s book ‘Superintelligence’ or Elizar Yudokowski’s articles. Significantly, Musk has been very vocal about the danger of AI. Especially after the advent of Chat GPT, they have started speaking more openly about it.

Read this too- Chatbots like ChatGPT drink a lot of water, only then they can answer every question, why do they feel so thirsty!

What else did Lakun say?
He said, “This is absolutely nonsense, because there is no such process in the whole universe that just goes on growing very rapidly upwards. Those systems (AI machines) will need all the resources of the world. For this they have to be given immense power and dominance. He said that just because AI will be more intelligent than humans does not mean that it will want to control humanity. Lakun also wants to talk to Geoffrey Hinton on this issue. Geoffrey Hinton is considered the father of AI and he recently resigned from Google due to its threat.

Who is Nick Bostrom
Nick Bostrom, whom Lakun took the name of, is a philosopher from Sweden. He is also a professor at Oxford University. He is the founding director of Future of Humanity and as Lakun mentioned he is also the author of a title titled ‘Superintelligence…’. He specializes in topics such as the impact of future technology on humans, existential threats to humanity, and the ethical dilemmas of AI.

Who is Eliezer Yudokowski?
Elizar Yudokowski is an American artificial intelligence researcher and author. He is known for his work in the field of artificial intelligence alignment and for founding the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. He is in favor of the development of safe and profitable Artificial General Intelligence. He has also written a lot on this subject. He is also known for the development of the concept of ‘Friendly AI’.
