Yang Likun, winner of the Turing Award: The way to make AI platforms safe and good is open source, and AI cannot be controlled by a few people
Babbitt News, on July 6, at the opening ceremony of the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, how can we achieve AI governance and regulation if AI is allowed to form intelligence like humans, and what is the human intervention mechanism for AI? Yang Likun, winner of the 2018 Turing Award, shared that he believes that controllable methods can be used to set up safety fences so that they will not deceive and dominate people. Not easy, a daunting challenge, but doable. "Some people are afraid of artificial intelligence and hope to strictly regulate it. They think that anyone can use artificial intelligence to do anything, and then it is dangerous." I completely disagree. In the long run, artificial intelligence platforms must be safe and benign , is to make it open source. In the future, everyone will be able to communicate with the digital world through artificial intelligence assistants. This is not okay if AI is only controlled by a few people.
