Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt compared artificial intelligence to nuclear weapons and urged the global community to prevent AI-Hiroshima. Vice writes.

Speaking at a security forum in Aspen, Schmidt allowed the consolidation of an agreement between the US and China to limit artificial intelligence technologies.

“In the ’50s and ’60s, we created a world where there was no ‘no surprise’ rule about nuclear testing, and it was eventually banned,” he said.

Schmidt particularly highlighted the difficulties associated with negotiating a possible agreement on artificial intelligence between countries. He said that finding common ground between China and the United States would be more difficult than many think.

“I’m very worried that the US treatment of China as corrupt or communist or whatever and China treating America like a loser… will let people say, ‘Oh my God, they’re up to something,'” he said. . . .

Schmidt added that this situation will allow one of the parties to start preparations for arming with artificial intelligence, and this will lead to the activation of the other side.

The expert also admitted that he was naive towards the IT industry when he took over the directorship of Google.

“Now I understand that knowledge is everything: it’s incredibly powerful,” Schmidt added.

It now calls for the development of technology in accordance with the ethics and morals of the people it serves.

Recall that in July 2021, Schmidt said that China is catching up with the US in artificial intelligence and quantum computing faster than previously thought.

In December, Li Song, China’s ambassador to UN arms control, opposed the use of artificial intelligence for military purposes. The diplomat urged the world community to create common rules for regulating technology.

In March 2022, the US military requested $29.8 million to develop AI infrastructure. US Air Force General Glen VanHerke said the update will give the US an edge over powerful rivals like China.
