Earlier this April 30 scientists all over the world they met in geneva discuss the use artificial intelligence anticipate conflicts that may cause wars. This was the first round of a series of meetings where they hope to get an algorithm to predict these types of events with years or even decades ahead. This is still far away, but the researchers are optimistic.
This would be the other side of what has been talked about a lot lately: the potential of artificial intelligence for create conflict. Back in 2014, AI ethical philosopher Nick Bostrom He put forward a hypothesis in which he spoke about this. It pointed out that artificial intelligence, designed to produce as many clips as possible, is capable of destroying humanity. It was just a hypothesis, but recently in China showed that this may not be so far from the truth. They decided to leave the AI in command of one of their observation satellites and it was focused on parts of the world with a history of armed conflicts with an Asian country.
All this makes it imperative to establish very clearly goals each artificial intelligence algorithm. If this were left to chance, events similar to the Chinese satellite could occur. In addition, the importance promulgate legislation hard enough about it. Thus, AI can be used in a positive way. He can not only cause wars, but also prevent them. And it is clear that this face should interest us.
The future is in the hands of artificial intelligence
According to some of these scholars Agence France-Presseassembled Scientific Alert, Ukrainian war This did not give rise to the present investigation. At least not the only one. But it is true that this is a good example to raise the importance of this type of artificial intelligence algorithms.
This conflict has sowed terror in Ukraine and, in turn, economic crisis in Europe. If it could have been predicted, then it could have been avoided. Because the task of these researchers is not only to predict wars so that the population is prepared. He will also try to use AI to find ways to prevent them.
In this first meeting, they were based solely on identifying factors that would allow artificial intelligence to anticipate events. Later, at two other meetings to be held in Geneva and New York At the end of this year, they hope that they will be able to offer specific developments for artificial intelligence.
Watch the leaders to prevent wars
The task of this artificial intelligence is to analyze the movements of leaders and, based on past experience, predict which of them can lead to conflicts.
In order to be able to make decisions that solve the problem, wars should ideally be predicted in advance. But this is also the main problem. The Swiss Ambassador for Science Diplomacy explains this with an example: Alexander Fazel. Twenty-five years ago, in 1998, “Putin was not in power. We didn’t even know his name.”
This does not mean that he was not involved in politics. In fact, just a year later, it was already President of Russia. But it is true that we did not know about their decisions, as in recent years.
Perhaps, in order to avoid a war in Ukraine, artificial intelligence would then have to predict human movements. practically anonymous. All this is much more complicated than it seems. But without a doubt, we must use artificial intelligence.
