Top artificial intelligence researchers, the co-founder of Apple, and Elon Musk are among signatories of an open letter calling for companies to stop training powerful AIs. They argue that advanced AI could represent a profound change in the history of life on Earth, and companies should not be racing to unleash it. The letter calls for a six-month pause, providing time to decide whether developing things that might outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us is a good idea. Meanwhile, a Goldman Sachs report suggested that generative AIs like GPT-4, the most advanced platform so far debuted, could automate away the equivalent of 300 million jobs, especially in legal and administrative work.
