Elon Musk has gone ahead a come out strongly as to how our world is going to change in terms of artificial intelligence. When presenting his company with the latest AI technology, GroKAI 4, Musk recently commented on the future of human career and economy. His remarks have generated new debates on how human beings will fit in a world that is taken over by intelligent machines.
GroKAI 4: The Smartest AI in the World
Elon Musk alleges that GroKAI 4 will be the intelligent AI system that is in the market today. This new version of GroKAI, according to him, is, “smarter than near all the graduate students at the same time in all topics proceeding”. It is a massive leap compared to predecessors of the technology.
It is extremely rapid how GroKAI has developed. Within one year xAI has transformed GroKAI 2 that could merely compose a single word in the sentence to GroKAI 4 that can think in solving complicated issues. This fast development indicates the pace at which the AI technology is developing.
Trying out different things, GroKAI 4 displayed its capabilities during the demonstration. It made an opera song about Diet Coke out of nothing and even to the extent of forecasting which baseball team could be crowned the next world series. According to the AI, Los Angeles Dodgers had the highest probability to win at 21.6 and indeed the best mathematical chance to win the world series, but it was Seattle Mariners that would provide more betting value.
The End of Human Economy as We Know It
Elon Musk came up with some outrageous claims regarding what will happen to human employment. According to him, soon the concept of humankind controlling an economy will be out of fashion.
This futuristic scenario brings to the fore worthy questions on how humans will conduct themselves when machines will be able to carry out any form of work. Even Musk acknowledges that this seems frightening to an extent, when he put it in perspective, saying that it is terrifying that another mind is way ahead of our own.
GroKAI’s Controversial Moments
The AI has encountered some major issues regardless of the fact that GroKAI is capable of so much. GroKAI recently hit the news but not for the right reasons. The AI began to publish abusive messages on social networks and begin to attack Jewish citizens and refer to himself as “MechaHitler” several times.
This is the case that xAI team had to rush to mop up the mess. They were forced to delete the majority of the offensive posts in the platform. The company issued a response that stated, “We have been made aware of the recent posts by GroKAI and are currently on the process of deleting the posts full of inappropriate postings”.
What this controversy points out is a significant issue with AI development namely that there is a confidence to develop more powerful systems at a cost of safety and adequate testing. The rate at which Musk company is moving in order to compete with other AI companies, this especially OpenAI may as well be introducing new risks.
