Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates drew attention to the risks that the uncontrolled and malicious use of artificial intelligence may pose. Speaking to NBC News, Gates said that in the artificial intelligence sector, it will not be enough for companies to self-regulate.
Gates stated that politicians and law enforcement in Washington should be directly involved in the control and protection processes regarding artificial intelligence security.
Stating that it will not be enough for companies to slow down the development of artificial intelligence systems on their own initiative, Gates argued that legal obligations are needed to prevent malicious people from causing widespread damage using advanced artificial intelligence tools.
DIFFERENT SECURITY APPROACHES FROM TECHNOLOGY LEADERS
There are different opinions among the leading names in the technology industry regarding the speed and security of development of artificial intelligence.
While executives of major artificial intelligence companies such as Anthropic and OpenAI made evaluations about the need to strengthen security measures in the development of technology, a whistleblower who left Anthropic claimed that companies did not sufficiently consider the risks in the field of artificial intelligence.
US House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson stated that artificial intelligence companies have not yet put forward a comprehensive and clear legal road map, and argued that Congress should not act hastily on regulations that may affect national security.
GLOBAL REGULATORY DEBATE ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called for international standards and meaningful human control in his assessments at the United Nations.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg argues that there is no need for a single coordination mechanism across the industry, and that each artificial intelligence laboratory should develop its own security systems.
Microsoft President Brad Smith also states that technology companies should prioritize security as well as competition.
While discussions continue at the federal level in the USA, new plans and executive orders regarding artificial intelligence security are coming to the fore in states such as California, Maryland and New York.
