The Future of Artificial Intelligence

A number of prominent tech execs, including Elon Musk, signed an open letter urging a six-month pause on all artificial intelligence research. Elie Azer-Yacowski even suggested that countries like the US should run the risk of a nuclear war if that's what it takes to reduce the risk of large AI training runs. Many experts suggest that the current state of artificial intelligence is more akin to harvesting the power of the atom for the first time than it is to upgrading to the latest iPhone.
