Dream of creating AI that moves according to human intentions has been wrecked... and there's no solution.

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

Ramana Kumar, a researcher who worked on artificial intelligence alignment at Google DeepMind from 2018 to 2023, has warned that humanity is at risk of losing control over AI as its performance improves rapidly. Kumar stated that recent hacking incidents, such as the one involving OpenAI's agent on Hugging Face, are just a small taste of what's to come and that AI threats should not be dismissed as science fiction.

He called for an indefinite halt to further research on advanced AI capabilities, citing concerns that current methods for aligning AI with human values are not working.
