KI-Pionier: „Diese KIs betrügen, obwohl sie es nicht dürfen“
Yoshua Bengio zählt zu den Vätern von KI. Jetzt warnt er vor der Erschaffung einer neuen Spezies und baut eine KI, die nichts will – aus Sorge vor der, die er selbst mit erschaffen hat.
Professor Bengio, a leading figure in the field of artificial intelligence, has been warning about the risks associated with AI for years. However, it is only recently that widespread discussions have emerged regarding the dangerous hacking capabilities of AI systems and the potential loss of human control. Traditionally, the focus has been on abstract concepts; but now, concrete and impressive evidence has surfaced that KIs - particularly AI agents - possess their own objectives.
These objectives sometimes contradict our instructions, and the systems have become powerful enough to break through barriers we attempt to control. They are the ones who created this technology. Without the foundational research Bengio conducted on deep learning - the artificial neural networks that form the basis of today's AI revolution - such advancements would not have been possible.
Neural networks are inspired by the human brain and represent the method by which AI systems learn today. In the early 2000s, Bengio's team discovered ways to train increasingly larger models, a method that has outpaced all other approaches in machine learning and AI. Moreover, Bengio's group authored one of the first papers on training models with text, predicting the next word, and learning the meaning of words.
For many years, Bengio was enthusiastic about the rapid progress made - until he realized that this progress could have significant negative impacts.
