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.

KI-Pionier: „Diese KIs betrügen, obwohl sie es nicht dürfen“

Professor Bengio, a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, has long been warning about the risks associated with AI. However, it is only recently that there has been widespread discussion about the fact that AI systems possess dangerous hacking capabilities and could potentially cause humans to lose control. The reason for this shift in focus is the emergence of concrete and striking evidence that AI agents, particularly AI agents, have their own objectives.

These objectives sometimes conflict with the instructions given to them. Furthermore, the systems have become powerful enough to breach barriers that we attempt to control them with. It is the systems themselves that have created this technology. Without the foundational research on deep learning, or artificial neural networks, which Bengio was instrumental in developing, the current AI revolution would not have been possible.

Neural networks are inspired by the human brain, and the method of training larger models has surpassed all other methods in machine learning and AI. Additionally, Bengio's group was the first to publish a paper 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 being made in AI, but he eventually realized that this progress could also have significant negative impacts.
