Artificial intelligence has been moving the world more and more intensively in recent months, and given the pace of its development, it does not seem at all that this fact should change in any way in the foreseeable future. However, along with the increasing possibilities of using AI, more and more voices are being heard warning about it. Quite surprisingly, employers have now also spoken out with a similar warning.ancand probably the most famous AI company in the world, specifically OpenAIThey specifically warn of the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence combined with a lack of oversight of companies working on AI.

Current and former employeesancand companies OpenAI and Google DeepMind shared an open letter a few hours ago, in which they try to point out the risks of artificial intelligence as such. In the letter, employeesanci specifically indicate that there are many risks that humanity may face in connection with the development of artificial intelligence. They do not mean catastrophic Terminator-type scenarios, but rather deepening inequality between people, easier manipulation of the masses or the simple spread of disinformation. All of these problems, combined with a possible loss of control over autonomous AI systems, can ultimately lead to the extinction of humanity, which is why we need to be extremely careful.
Prothen the employee hangsancii that many companies working on AI have large financial resources that allow them to continue to develop at a high pace in an attempt to set trends in this field. And precisely because of the desire to be at the forefront of the AI world, there is a risk that these companies are unregulated, because they do not admit all their knowledge. This can lead to significant problems. "Until there is effective state supervision of these companies, current and former employees areancand some of the few people who can hold them accountable to the public. Yet broad confidentiality agreements prevent us from raising our concerns, except to companies that may not be addressing these issues. Current whistleblower protections are inadequate because they focus on illegal activity, while many of the risks we fear are not yet regulated," specifically stated in the letter.
Subsequently employed in thisancThose behind the text call for the following:
- Avoid creating or enforcing agreements that prevent risk criticism.
- Offer employmentancA verifiably anonymous process that allows them to raise risk concerns with the board, regulators and independent organizations with relevant expertise.
- Promote a culture of open criticism that allows employees toancraise concerns about technology-related risks to the public, board of directors, regulators, and others as long as trade secrets are protected.
- Avoid retaliation against employeesancwho publicly share confidential risk-related information after other procedures have failed.
Since the letter is addressed primarily to companies developing AI, the points of the call are logically directed directly at them. Whether they will follow them is of course a question, because it could also mean that the development of their AI projects will slow down. This is also evidenced by the situation directly in OpenAI, which absolutely disagree with a similar challenge and their employeesancThey were threatened with hefty fines and even expulsion if they publicly criticized AI. That's also why there are only 13 signatures on the letter.
