Clifford noted that “two years” was a bit of an exaggeration, but the risks he was talking about were “outside zero.” For him, this is an existential threat: artificial intelligence can create biological and cyber weapons that can kill large numbers of people and cause a lot of evil in general. It is also important that the development of artificial intelligence progresses faster.
The expert emphasized that activities in the field of artificial intelligence and the development of such technologies should be strictly licensed. An IAEA-like organization is also needed to control neural networks as “we don’t know how to do it right now”.
“Speaking of bioweapons or cyberattacks, extremely serious threats that could cost the lives of multiple people could easily arise at the stage where AI models will be developed within two years. I think the main focus should be on how to gain control over these models. Therefore, we don’t know how to do it now,” Clifford said.
