Summary:
This news talks about the progress in the Artificial Intelligence science field. Since Artificial Inteligence is a new science and has been already set out as a bad thing in movies and books, scientists are cynical towards it.
Elon Musk, Sam Altman and Peter Thier, each one of them being heavy technology investors, founded not so long ago the Artificial Inteligence field with aproximately 1 billion dollars with the objective of making the field progress.
But at the same time, there's people who sees this as a worrying subject, and they think that the AI field should grow slowly and controlled. For example, some of these people are: The Window's co-founder Bill Gates, the renowned scientist Stephen Hawking...
A non-profit research company called OpenAI has been recently open to ensure that the AI soesn't get out from human's hands. Currently, the research groups lead by Ilya Sutskever, who's a research scientist in google. OpenAI isn't the first group that tried to contain the AI, AI specialists of all around the world signed a letter issued by the Future Of Life Institute, that pledges to safely and carefuly coordinate the progress in the field.
Opinion:
I think that this is a complicate subject. We barely know what the AI could do if it grows too much, and could be dangerous. So I agree with every one who tries to keep it under safe contol and concerns about the discontroled growth of science in general.
