Microsoft's chief scientific officer says there's no need for a pause on AI — despite what Elon Musk says
in an interview published Sunday that while he respects the people who signed the letter and understood that people might have concerns about AI, he believes an"acceleration" — not a pause — is actually necessary.
"I really actually respect [those that signed the letter]," he told Fortune."And I think it's reasonable that people are concerned ... To me, I would prefer to see more knowledge, and even an acceleration of research and development, rather than a pause for six months, which I am not sure if it would even be feasible. It's a very ill-defined request in some ways."
Horvitz continued:"In a larger sense, six months doesn't really mean very much for a pause. We need to really just invest more in understanding and guiding and even regulating this technology—jump in, as opposed to pause."
