Keeping Humans in Charge: Microsoft's Plan for Friendly Superintelligence
Microsoft's AI division is making big promises about the future of superintelligent AI. They aim to create AI that is not just smart but also safe and helpful to humans.
A Helpful Assistant, Not a Boss
This new AI would act like a helpful assistant, not a boss. It would have limits and be designed to help people in various areas such as:
- Learning
- Healthcare
- Science
Controlled and Safe
The head of Microsoft AI, Mustafa Suleyman, assures that this AI won't be a wild, uncontrolled force. Instead, it will be a tool that people can use and control. Microsoft is not in a rush to create this superintelligent AI.
The OpenAI Deal
However, there's a catch. Microsoft has a deal with OpenAI, allowing them to use OpenAI's technology to build their own superintelligent AI.
Big Plans for the Future
Suleyman envisions this AI as a friend that helps people:
- Learn
- Be more productive
- Assist doctors and scientists in making new discoveries
The Challenge of Control
Despite these plans, some may wonder if Microsoft can keep this AI under control. After all, AI is getting smarter every day. Ensuring it remains friendly and helpful is a big challenge.
