There must be another way! Bill Gates opposes AI development moratorium


What is another way...?

With the rise of ChatGPT, AI has rapidly developed and spread from last year to this year. Bill Gates opposes an open letter from tech moguls, including Elon Musk, calling for a pause in AI development.

He said that it would be very difficult to stop the development of AI on a global level, and that it would be better to think about how it could be used for the benefit of society.

"I don't think stopping one group will solve the problem. Clearly, [AI] has huge advantages, and what we need to do now is identify sensitive areas that are difficult to work with. is"

Is a world where everyone can benefit from AI possible?

Gates also posted his opinion on his blog under the title "The Age of AI Has Arrived." He said there are many areas where AI could benefit, such as climate change and the evolution of education.

Taking the medical industry as an example, they are exploring the use of AI in a wider range of fields, saying that it will help greatly reduce the work time of field staff, such as paperwork and insurance-related applications. I have the following opinion for those who appeal for AI development to be suspended.

Remember that AI does not control the physical world and cannot set its own goals. This new technology can help people around the world and improve their lives. It is.”

For example, what does it mean to think of better ways to use AI instead of stopping AI development ? In his blog, Gates said:

“We need to make the rules of the road so that the benefits of AI far outweigh the drawbacks, so that everyone can benefit from it, regardless of whether they have money or where they live. The AI ​​era is full of opportunities and responsibilities.”

Rather than AI development, I feel that it is more difficult to think of a system for AI utilization that can benefit everyone in the world.
