Putting AI on pause gives us time to regroup around human rights
But a pause would give us much-needed opportunities to reflect on what we want from large language models and generative AI. What decisions do we want to automate? Which tasks do we want done by our machines? And what, in the age of data and automation, is fundamental to human experience?
The explosion of AI is built on top of computing power, yes, but also an unfathomable amount of data about humans. It seems like magic, but ChatGPT draws on the corpus of the internet – on human-made content – to assemble its output. In short, it creates out of human creativity. We need to consider how the collection, pooling and analysis of data, coupled with the algorithmic power of AI, represent a fundamental shift in the human experience that goes beyond who writes essays or creates art.
To reflect meaningfully, we need time. Six months might be an eternity for a supercomputer, but it’s a blip to us. It’s too brief for investigation, discussion and the creation of durable institutions., but we’ve seen this before. Social scientists and arts researchers have made large, mostly unseen contributions to how we can recover humanity in our machines.
