Should we fear the development of artificial intelligence? A young Belgian committed suicide following exchanging long conversations with Eliza, a Chatbot. The robot would have pushed him to take action when the man was already psychologically fragile suffering from eco-anxiety.
Does artificial intelligence represent a risk for humanity? On the set of QR l’actu, Giovanni Briganti, doctor and specialist in artificial intelligence relativizes and specifies: “We have to reframe things. The chatbot used by this Belgian who ended his life, is a system that does not ” is not clinically validated. The model was clearly not suitable for taking care of a patient. In this context, we must therefore be concerned. There is clearly a lack of a framework so that people do not resort to this type of ‘artificial intelligence because it can be dangerous’.
Could intelligence supplant man? For the moment, this is not the case specifies Giovanni Briganti but we must be vigilant “The possibility that artificial intelligence becomes autonomous and does not need humans has been described in the scientific literature. But this is not not currently the case. However, artificial intelligence evolves so quickly that it requires us to remain very vigilant even if I have the weakness to believe that the developers of artificial intelligence aim for the good of humanity “.
