spell many of the top out AI leaders feature been racing against clip to touch AI superintelligence, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman has warned that it might not be a positive thing and even went on to claim in a latest podcast that it should be an ‘anti-goal’.
In an episode of “Silicon Valley Girl Podcast”, Suleyman defined Superintelligence as an AI system that can self-improve, set it own goals and can act independently of humans and said that it does not “feel like a positive vision of the future”
“It would be very hard to contain something like that or align it to our values. And so that should be the anti- goal.” he added
Suleyman also cleared the differentiation between AGI and superintelligence, saying, “You can think of AGI as a step before maybe super intelligence, but roughly speaking, they're fairly used fairly interchangeably”
Suleyman noted that Microsoft is building a humanist version of superintelligence which he said would be “aligned to our interests, on our team, in our corner backing us up”
Suleyman agrees with Demis Hassabis' prediction on AGI:
Suleyman also agreed with Google DeepMind CEO and his ex-co-founder Demis Hassabis' prediction on AGI being reached in the next 5 years. The Microsoft AI CEO noted that AI would be able to achieve human level performance in most tasks in the next five years.
He argued that the current AI models are already capable of achieving a lot of the tasks better than humans like summarization, translation, transcription, research, document writing,and poetry. Suleyman further said that the AI models are “taking steps towards being as good as a human at being a project manager or being a marketing person or an HR person”
He also predicted that this change will “fundamentally change work in the most profound way.”
“It's going to change the type of work that we do” he added
Suleyman also argued that the AI models are leading to “democratizing access to intelligence” and that would lead to “unbelievable amount of competiton because the distance between an idea and the realization of that idea is going to collapse”
“People are just going to be thinking new companies into existence, new products, new pieces of poetry.” he noted
Suleyman also noted that there will be a need to figure out regulations and guardrails in order to make sure that these autonomous agents work with humans and not on their own.
