That makes it the fastest-growing piece of technology in history. Yet the unbelievably rapid adoption of the technology is now promising – or threatening – to upend every aspect of our lives.Īll of this has stemmed from the popularity of ChatGPT, which went from an internal software project at the San Francisco start-up OpenAI to 100m users within two months of its release last November. Just months ago, AI was simply another hyped up corner of tech that many saw as just a buzzword used by start-ups to raise cash. “If you are building powerful artificial general intelligence that has autonomy or the ability to self improve, that is a legitimate concern we should be worried about,” says Mustafa Suleyman, a co-founder of British AI pioneer Deepmind who now leads the start-up Inflection AI. Stuart Russell, a British computer scientist at the University of Berkeley, has imagined a bot told to clean up the oceans that inadvertently sucked all the oxygen out of the air. Two decades ago Nick Bostrom, the Oxford University philosopher, imagined a machine directed to manufacture paper clips that was so effective it turned all matter in the universe into them, including all of humanity.
