In theory, OpenAI’s blog post titled Governance of Superintelligence should have showcased their seriousness about AI regulation. However, the lack of specificity in the post may harm their cause. The company’s self-serving purpose and lack of transparency in using language models raise questions about their motives.
AI isn’t the real threat yet, as shown by the recent “Pentagon explosion” AI images that were easily debunked. The real issue was the spread of fake news on platforms like Twitter, where trust and safety features have been compromised. The urgent need is for an international agency to combat misinformation from powerful individuals like Elon Musk.
Ultimately, the main threat of AI in the foreseeable future lies in the abundance of AI-generated content that blurs the line between truth and falsehood. The challenge remains in regulating AI effectively to prevent the spread of misinformation.
