At the KBTG Techtopia event today, Andrew Ng, a pioneering researcher in deep learning, discussed the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence in the future. He emphasized the importance of regulating AI usage over development of the technology.
Ng likened the development of AI technology to the diverse applications of electric motors, ranging from fruit juicers to missile guidance systems. In the past, the world did not directly regulate motor technology development but instead focused on regulating each application. For example, safety regulations must be followed for motors in juicers, while control for weaponization must be strict.
AI technology within the LLM group also offers a wide range of applications. LLM can be utilized for health recommendations, chatbots for entertainment, or even for running political propaganda campaigns. The risks and dangers depend on how each application is utilized and require different management strategies.
TLDR: Andrew Ng discussed the importance of regulating AI usage and highlighted the diverse applications and associated risks within the AI technology landscape.
