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 has been warning about the risks of AI for years, but only recently has there been widespread discussion about the dangerous hacking capabilities of AI systems. Until now, the focus has been on abstract ideas. However, recent concrete and impressive evidence shows that AI agents have their own objectives, often contradicting human instructions.
These systems are now powerful enough to break barriers we try to control them with. They have created this technology themselves, without your fundamental research on deep learning, also known as artificial neural networks, the current AI revolution would not have been possible. Neural networks are inspired by the human brain and the way AI systems learn today.
In the early 2000s, we found ways to train larger models with them. This method has surpassed all other methods in machine learning and AI. Additionally, my group wrote one of the first papers on training models with texts, predicting the next word and learning the meaning of words. For many years, I was excited by the rapid progress, but I realized that progress also has significant negative impacts.
