LinkedIn Cofetostor and artificial intelligence investor Red Hoffman highlights an increasing direction in the world of technology: Artificial intelligence systems are marketed as the best new friend of you.
“I don’t think any Amnesty International tool today is able to be a friend,” Hoffman said in the Wednesday episode of Podcasts. “And I think if he pretends to be a friend, you are in fact harmful to the person.”
His comments came amid Meta Mark Zuckerberg CEO to include the Companions on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and even Ray-Ban smart glasses.
Last month, Zuckerberg told Bodoxter Duarcash Patel He sees Chatbots, Amnesty International as part of a solution to the so -called unity epidemic in America. He pointed to statistics indicating that his ordinary Americans “less than three friends” but have the ability to 15.
According to 2021 a report From the American Life Survey Center, 49 % of Americans are three friends or less.
But Hoffman has been sharply distinguished between companions and friends, saying that the lack of clarity of this line leads to the erosion of what it means to be a human being.
“Friendship is a bilateral direction,” he said. “Companionship and many other types of reactions are not necessarily two -way. I think this is very important because it is a kind of hidden human erosion.”
He said that his theory of friendship “agreed with two people to help each other to become the best versions of themselves”, which is a dynamic not only involves emotional support, but also accountability – something that the chat cannot respond similarly.
“This is not only,” are you there? “But I am here for you.”
Hoffman praised design options such as the PI assistive in reflection, which expressly tells users, “I am your companion”, and encourages people to spend time with actual human friends.
“Your help go out to your friends’ world is, as I think, something is very important for a companion to do,” he said.
While technology companies are racing to spread more intelligent robots, Hoffman has argued with more transparency and organization.
He said: “We must ask us for a market, we are as an industry, all of them, we must unite it.” “And if there is confusion about this, I think we as a government must say,” hey, see, if you do not go up to this, then we must. “
Hoffman, the risks are high. “I think this is a deterioration of the quality of a person’s height,” he said. “This should not be what you do.”
Hoffman is not alone in raising the alarm on artificial intelligence comrades.
During a certificate in the Senate earlier this month, Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, expressed similar concerns about the formation of personal bonds with children.
When asked if he wanted his child to form the best friend with Amnesty International’s robot, he said: “I do not do.”
He said that although adults may search for emotionally supportive relationships with artificial intelligence, children need a “higher level of protection” in how these systems interact with them.
“These AI systems will know well throughout your life,” said Altman, who represents a new challenge and the level of importance of how we think about the world of artificial intelligence. He became a father in February.
