In the great ball of technological geniuses, Sam Altman has carved out a place for himself. Founder of OpenAI, the box that gave us ChatGPT, he has become the symbol of artificial intelligence. But what happens if there is a problem with it?
The backpack that locks away a secret
Imagine a blue backpack, but not just any. This bag is still stuck to him like chewing gum under a school desk. It is its anti-disaster shield, its virtual safe or one could compare it to the nuclear suitcase.
If the US President lugs around some kind of suitcase, Altman has his blue bag. Rest assured, he does not have the power to blow up the world, but he has the power to prevent it. All because Sam has nightmares haunted by killer robots and rogue artificial intelligences. it’s quite understandable after we’ve seen Terminator.
Inside this bag is said to be a computer. A Mac that has the superpower to destroy the servers that host its AI. A kind of emergency button that self-destructs all his work. Last resort button.
Concern around AI
Altman’s road to fame sounds like something out of a thriller. He came out of nowhere to create OpenAI, this box that shakes the foundations of artificial intelligence. He is the man who sparked a digital revolution. And just like his box, he is not afraid to face challenges. Except that there is a downside.
AI is like a child growing up too fast, you never really know what’s going to happen. If you’ve seen Terminator, the film’s fears are eerily similar to Altman’s worries. If the AI takes control, we risk finding ourselves in a world that we no longer control.
We are on the border between science fiction and reality. Even people like Altman worry about his own creation, which raises questions.
But until the robots take over the world, Altman has his security backpack. The films make us psychosis about a reality that will probably never happen. On the other hand, he prepares the ground, ready to press the “turn off” button if things go wrong.
