Former Google Blake Lemoine engineer again gave a warning about artificial intelligence (AI) in the midst of chatgpt popularity. Now he said AI was the most powerful technological discovery after the atomic bomb.
In the opinion column published in Newsweek, Lemoine said the Bing Ai chatbot powered by chatgpt looks 'crazy' and behaves like a person who has an existential crisis.
He quoted the incident experienced by New York Times Journalist Kevin Roose where chatgpt had raided to express love to Roose and told him to leave his wife.
According to Lemoine, AI is now good at manipulating humans and can be used for damaging purposes. He added that the AI chatbot available today is an experimental technology, with unknown harmful side effects.
"If you are in the hands of immoral people, for example, (AI) can spread misinformation, political propaganda, or hate information about people from various ethnicities and religions," Lemoine wrote in the article, as quoted by Insider, Friday (3 3 /3/2023).
Lemoine said he had not experimented with Bing Ai's chatbot. He also claimed that to his knowledge, Google and Microsoft did not plan to use AI for evil purposes.
"I can only observe that there is a very strong technology that I believe is not yet tested enough and is not yet enough to be understood, being used on a large scale, in an important role to spread information," he said.
Lemoine first became the spotlight in mid -2022 after he claimed that AI made by Google named Lamda (Language Model for Dialogue Application) had awareness like humans.
On June 22, Google fired Lemoine for violating employee confidentiality policies. Google spokesman also said there was no evidence that supported Lemoine's claim that Lamda had a human -like awareness.
