Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Xiao Zhan for the clue delivery! June 18, March this year, Elon Musk (Elon Musk) called for a moratorium on the development of artificial intelligence technology and signed an open letter with hundreds of tech celebrities warning people of the possible dangers of advanced artificial intelligence.

Musk recently revealed that at first he didn't think anyone would really respond to the call.

"I don't think anyone will really agree to a pause, but I want to remind you to say,'I think we should pause'," Mr Musk said at the VivaTech technology summit in France.

Of course, other signatories of the letter, as well as artificial intelligence critics, take the letter seriously. The letter warned that advanced artificial intelligence could have dire consequences for humans and called for a moratorium on the development of any technology more advanced than GPT-4 chat robots within six months.

But critics also include celebrities such as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, US senator Mike Rounds, and even Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of artificial intelligence. Hinton, who left Google this year, has also warned about the technology he has put into great efforts.

Like others, Hinton sees no point in calling for a moratorium on the development of artificial intelligence.

"it's a matter of collective action," Sundar Pichai, Google's chief executive, said of the open letter in a podcast in March. The person behind the letter, he said, "may be trying to spark discussion."

Aidan Gomez, chief executive of Cohere, an artificial intelligence start-up, also said this week that the call was "unlikely". He added: "it is a waste of time and public thinking space to spend all our time debating whether human beings will become extinct because of super intelligence taking over the whole world."

But Musk also said at the VivaTech Technology Summit in France, "for the first time in history, there will be something smarter than humans, smarter than the smartest humans." He warned that if mankind does not "carefully develop general artificial intelligence", "there may be disastrous consequences".

Musk again called for strong regulation of artificial intelligence technology, saying that advanced artificial intelligence is "a risk to the general public." Artificial intelligence is more likely to have a positive impact, but "this is not all possible, so we need to minimize the possibility of mistakes," he added. "

Musk added that if there was "some form of artificial intelligence doomsday", he still wanted to live to see it.
