‘Doomsday Clock’ Ticks: Elon Musk, Experts Sound Alarm on AI, Potentially ‘Catastrophic Scenario’
The startling pace at which artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are growing is sparking alarm, discontent, and concern among analysts, with some of Silicon Valley’s most prominent names rising up to call for a pause before such advances propagate severe societal damage.
SpaceX founder Elon Musk has joined Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and countless other prominent names to sign an open letter from the Future of Life Institute calling on AI companies to “pause giant AI experiments” and create safety protocols. The Rev. Johnnie Moore echoed the importance of this sentiment in an interview with CBN News. “I think we ought to pause, and I’m not sure that the general public yet really understands how all of their lives will change, and could potentially change, because of this new technology,” he said.
The author and faith leader heralded the transformative and positive benefits AI could bring society, noting the technology could usher in better health, longer lives, and other solutions. But he also warned of what can happen if AI is left unrestrained or is harnessed by unscrupulous world governments. “If we’re not careful, we could unleash a beast,” Moore said. “Imagine governments in a race towards autonomous weapons. … We could be moving into a world where the machines make the decisions for themselves.”
The faith leader also noted the importance of including religious leaders and people of faith in these conversations, noting ethicists and faith leaders are often excluded. “For too long, faith has been a blind spot in Silicon Valley,” Moore said, noting a friend in the tech industry recently encouraged him to speak out and engage in this issue.
Moore was careful to note he’s a big fan of technology, innovation, and science, and wants to embrace such advances. Still, he believes it’s essential to do so “intentionally” and without allowing “blind commercial self-interest or the bad guys” to lead the charge or manipulate AI.
