The Future of Life Institute, a non-profit campaign group, published an open letter calling for a six-month pause in the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems.
In response, the BCS Fellows Technical Advisory Group (FTAG) produced a paper and an open letter (https://futureoflife.org/open-letter/pause-giant-ai-experiments/) signed by senior tech leaders and BCS members.
BCS believes an international break in AI development would not work and could play into the hands of rogue regimes and organisations. Our panel of experts closely examining this controversial issue.
