According to Odaily, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has expressed concerns over the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). In a discussion on platform X, Buterin warned about the risks associated with super-intelligent AI and advised against rushing its development. He also voiced opposition towards those who are pushing for its accelerated progress.
Buterin further suggested that a robust ecosystem of open models running on consumer hardware could serve as a significant counterbalance to prevent the concentration of value captured by future AI. This approach could also prevent the control of the majority's thoughts by a few through centralized servers. He believes that such models pose a lower risk of destruction.
Buterin's comments come amid a growing debate about the ethical implications of AI and its potential to concentrate power and wealth. His views underscore the need for careful and considered development of AI technologies, with an emphasis on decentralization to prevent undue concentration of power.
