Technological leaders of the stature of Steve Wozniak, Jaan Tallinn or Elon Musk joined a petition that seeks to temporarily paralyze the great experiments with artificial intelligence (AI) due to the risks that they may entail for society.

More than 1,100 people have signed a petition calling for AI labs to “immediately stop training AI systems more powerful than GPT-4 for at least six months.”

Behind this request is the concern that the development of AI systems with human-competitive intelligence arouses, mainly due to the risks that they may pose to society and humanity, since they consider that their development is not being carried out with planning or management.

Precisely, they request that said stoppage in training be used to develop and implement a set of shared security protocols for the advanced design and development of AI”, which are audited and supervised by independent external experts.

This does not mean a pause in the development of AI in general, simply a step back from the perilous race towards increasingly large, unpredictable black box models with emerging capabilities.

They also highlight the need to work together with legislators, to advance in the development of solid AI governance systems, which, in addition to guaranteeing a safe development of this technology, allow its auditing and supervision and the monitoring of those responsible in case of leaks or damage, so that they can answer for them.

The open letter has the support of technology leaders such as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak; Tesla and SpaceX and Twitter CEO Elon Musk; Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn; and Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque.

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, announced the creation of a new private space company called Privateer Space, with the purpose of keeping “space safe and accessible to humanity.”

The news was released with a video through his Twitter account where he points out that together with Alex Fielding, the creator of Ripcord, they founded the space firm that promises to be “different from the rest.” However, he did not provide further details on the operation of the company or what will be the differentiating element.

Wozniak is expected to provide further details on his new creation during the AMOS Tech 2021 conference, which will be held in Maui Hawa this September.

Although there is no further information about the company, “the company’s website is already online and it can be read in the slogan ‘the sky is no longer the limit’“. You can see a photo of the Moon in the background, which has generated rumors that it could be “a lunar base”, but none of the owners have confirmed the information.

It was known that Privateer Space is a “client of Desktop Metal, a 3D printing company that allows users to work with titanium” and on its Desktop website it indicates that the new Privateer company will have as one of its themes space junk and there is a possibility that titanium could be involved in the project as the main material.

Currently, the business market is extending its horizons beyond territorial borders and space companies in which some millionaires and businessmen are venturing may soon become a trend.
