The development of Artificial Intelligence seems to have no stopping unless there are external factors controlling its steering wheel. Some important people in the technology industry such as Elon Musk and Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak seem to be feeling anxious about the artificial intelligence industry that has recently started to dominate several aspects of human life.
Not only Tesla’s CEO and Apple’s Founder, but also several professors and researchers participated in an open letter requesting various AI pioneers such as ChatGPT to temporarily stop their development. What is happening that makes Elon Musk ask to stop ChatGPT development?
Elon Musk Asks to Stop the Development of ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence
The open letter, signed by Elon Musk and thousands of people, was published on the Future of Life Institute, a non-profit organization that has reached 1377 at the time of writing this article. Their request is only one, which is to ask AI pioneers to temporarily stop the development of artificial intelligence for 6 months.
The letter states that the current AI system is trying to compete with humans and can pose a significant risk to society and humanity. The open letter also asks all AI research to pause the development of more advanced AI than GPT-4. He even mentioned that the government needs to intervene to stop if this letter is ignored by AI makers.

The reason stated in the letter is how the planning of AI creation is not considered its consequences on human beings, but unfortunately, this did not happen. The management instead competes without control, which even the creator does not understand, predict, or manage well.
Thus, the need for a protocol to be taken so that its development is safe and controlled. As we know, with the arrival of GPT4 in Bing, it has been able to boost the use of the search engine shortly.
Discussing AI, several big companies are indeed involved in this brand new world. Take for example OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, which are three big players that have recently been in the headlines about artificial intelligence.
