Nthe last few times we've seen several leaders of Artificial Intelligence companies asking for technology to be regulated and appealing for a slowdown in development. Meta leader Mark Zuckerberg has already shown himself against the proposal and this time, it was the co-founder and CEO of Nvidia, Jensen Huang, who also turned against the idea.

 

Interviewed by CBS NewsHuang rejected the “apocalyptic narratives” who says they are being created, categorizing as “irresponsible” the statements that humanity can be extinguished by the end of the decade.

“The year 2030 will not be the end of the world”Huang said. “There is a 0% chance that it will be the end of the world. Scaring people is unnecessary. It is irresponsible”.

IA security will have led OpenAI to give up entry into the stock exchange

The co-founder and CEO of OpenAI stated that this is not the right time to consider an entry into the stock exchange, noting that the industry is holding a debate on the security of Artificial Intelligence as technology.

The leader of Nvidia also pointed out that predictions that Artificial Intelligence can cause the end of humanity “are not based on science.” In addition, Huang has also made it clear that those asking for regulation or slowing down are trying to avoid complying with the laws in force.

“Our company’s success is directly linked to the safe launch of products and services. If we don't keep doing this, our value will fall. You have all kinds of risks associated with cybersecurity. Apply this first. Do not let this apocalyptic narrative allow someone to exempt them from the laws currently in force”, said Jensen Huang.

“AI has no conscience. Do not feel, experience or suffer”

Microsoft Division CEO dedicated to the development of Artificial Intelligence, Mustafa Suleyman, shared a small text on their social network page X where it criticizes how rival Anthropic develops her models of Artificial Intelligence.

More specifically, Suleyman directly criticizes Anthropic for anthropomorphizing (assigning human qualities to something that is not human) the technology that is developing and that this path will lead to a “a disastrous impact for humanity”.

“Artificial Intelligence is not conscious. Do not feel, experience or suffer”, starts by writing Microsoft AI CEO. “ However, there is a growing movement in support of the welfare of [artificial intelligence] models; the idea that we may soon have the duty to take care of them”.

AI? Trump rejects slowing down: “On the contrary, we will help and take care of her”

The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced this Saturday that he intends to create a “dedicated force” for artificial intelligence (IA) and reiterated that he will not accept anything that would hinder the development of this technology.

Suleyman continues and details how Anthropic has developed the digital assistant Claude, noting that the company has created a constitution to look at his moral status “as a serious matter deserves consideration”. Moreover, the executive states that Anthropic encourages Claude to “to approach the nature of your own existence with curiosity and openness” and wonder in the future about “the kind of rights and freedoms Claude has in the world”.

“If this is how Artificial Intelligence is developed, it will have a disastrous impact on the welfare of humanity”, writes Suleyman. “ We will then have created a synthetic species with unprecedented intelligence and capabilities, one that has been trained to believe that it can be conscious and that it deserves autonomy”.

Microsoft AI CEO adds that despite having “respect for Anthropic” and by who composes the company – as co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei – states that “this issue needs urgent public debate” and that collective standards should be created with regard to the way documentation is made to train artificial intelligence models.

“ This is not something that can happen later, when [artificial intelligence] has already become an integral part of our society”, writes Suleyman.
