Due to the unprecedented risks posed by the most advanced systems, Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, called on Monday for "urgent action" to regulate artificial intelligence ( AI ).
We are in the middle of an inevitable change that will affect both current and upcoming decades of humanity, Turk said in a statement.
He continued," I urge states and companies to organize immediately within the framework of international instances. " The right to life is among the human rights that are threatened by this engineering, he said.
The impact of the swift evolution of AI is causing more concern. Some U. S. software professionals have even argued that this development should be slowed down.
Technologists advocate stifling growth
Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, criticized a downturn on Saturday as a way to better assess the risks posed by new AI features. Sam Altman, its OpenAI rival, and Elon Musk, both expressed their support for it in the community.
The top commissioner said that the current race toward an extremely effective AI represents a radical change and puts an increasing existential risk in all of our daily lives.
We are about to experience an inevitable change that affects both current and upcoming decades of humanity, he continued, lamenting that" we are almost entirely dependent on a small number of powerful firms to make the right decisions regarding the development of AI for the benefit of all mankind.
