A former open safety researcher said he was “very scared” about the pace of growth in artificial intelligence, and warns that industry is taking a “extremely dangerous gambling” on technology.
Steven Adler expressed concern about companies trying to rapidly develop artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is a theoretical term that refers to systems that meet humans in any intellectual work or this Exceed
Edler, who left open in November, said in a series of posts on X He had a “wild ride” At the US company and will lose “many parts of it”.
However, he said that the technology is developing so quickly Increased doubts About the future of humanity.
He said, “I am very nervous at the pace of development of AI these days.” When I think about where I will raise a future family, or how much I will save for retirement, then I can’t help but wonder: Will humanity also reach this place? “
Some experts, such as Nobel laureate Jeffrey Hunton, are afraid of fear that the powerful AI system can avoid human control with potentially devastating consequences. Other, such as Meta’s chief AI scientist, Yan Likone, has Eliminated existential riskSaying that “in fact, humanity can be saved”.
According to Adler Linked profileHe led a four -year career in Openai for safety research for “product launches” and “more speculative long -term AI systems” in a four -year career.
Referring to the main purpose of the Openi, AGI’s development, Edler added: “The AGI race is a very dangerous gamble, which has a huge shortage.” Edler said that no research lab has a solution to AI alignment – the process of ensuring the system that is based on a set of human values - and that the industry ahead to find someone very fast. Is increasing
“The faster we run, the less likely it is to find one in time.”
Edler’s X Posts came to light when China’s DPCAC, who is also trying to develop AGI, unveiled a model by unveiling the American tech industry that, despite the apparently low resources. Compete the technology.

The industry appears to be “really stuck in a bad balance,” Edler said.
“Even if a lab really wants to develop AGAI with responsibility, others can still cut corners, perhaps destructively.”
Edler and Open have been contacted to comment.
