Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Wagenpfeil’s Post<\/p>\n

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Wagenpfeil<\/p>\n

1d<\/p>\n

Just another buzzword? The Singularity? Science fiction? Who really knows for sure. But: Sam Altman recently claimed that we\u2019ve now reached the \u201cSingularity.\u201d <\/p>\n

This is generally regarded as the point at which AI systems surpass human intelligence in virtually all areas and subsequently continue to improve on their own. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if we\u2019ve reached that point yet, if this is (once again, just clever) marketing, or exactly how Altman has defined the term for himself. I\u2019m also not sure if we can actually reach that point (which is mainly because I\u2019m not sure how we\u2019re supposed to define \u201cintelligence\u201d in the first place), but I think we need to start giving this some very fundamental thought. <\/p>\n

Because the closer we get to these kinds of topics, the less important technology becomes. <\/p>\n

Rather, the focus is increasingly on how we humans cope in and with this age of AI. Do we still understand what\u2019s happening? Can we manage to establish guidelines for what AI is and isn\u2019t allowed to do? Can all of this still be controlled? Are individual people (and if so, which ones) even capable of understanding such AI solutions? <\/p>\n

We’re setting things in motion here that no one has ever done before. And we (apparently) trust that it will all work out somehow and that Big Tech knows what it’s doing. <\/p>\n

How do we ensure that humanity wishes for the \u201cright\u201d things from AI? What if someone wishes for the \u201cwrong\u201d things? Who defines \u201cright\u201d and \u201cwrong\u201d? And what if AI actually starts wishing for things for itself? <\/p>\n

I am convinced that the human mind is not designed to keep up with the incredibly rapid pace at which AI learns and evolves. There are only a few people left who can keep up and understand what\u2019s happening right now. As I said\u2014not technically (that\u2019s almost the easiest part), but on psychological, social, political, and intellectual levels. <\/p>\n

So let’s approach these topics with attention, care, caution, and thoughtfulness. Despite all our technical curiosity…. <\/p>\n

Still, you have to take a deep breath when you really think about it.<\/p>\n
