An important initiative to regulate AI technologies has been put forward in the US. The "Declaration of Humanity," signed by hundreds of scientists, former officials, and public figures, demands that human interests be prioritized in the development of AI. This document offers a safe roadmap for the future of the industry at a time when the government has not yet set clear rules. Reports techcrunch.com.
The authors of the declaration, including MIT physicist Max Tegmark, emphasize that society is concerned about the AI race. According to polls, 95% of Americans are against the creation of uncontrolled superintelligence. The document states that it is necessary to abandon a dangerous path that displaces people from jobs and transfers power to unaccountable corporations. Instead, it is proposed to develop technologies that expand human capabilities.
The new rules are based on five main pillars: maintaining human control, preventing the centralization of power, protecting personal freedom, and ensuring corporate accountability under the law. Strict measures are also envisaged, such as banning the creation of superintelligence until safety is guaranteed, making the ability to shut down systems mandatory, and limiting self-replicating architectures.
This initiative has become even more relevant against the backdrop of the conflict between the Pentagon and the company "Anthropic." It has become clear that the government's sluggishness in the field of AI is threatening national security. Experts emphasize that, like the pharmaceutical market, AI products should not be allowed for use until their safety is confirmed. Testing applications intended for young people has been set as a priority task.
