Restricting access to high-end semiconductors will only delay their progress a bit.
If strong AI is going to be the next nuclear weapon then no sanctions will stop other countries from developing it.
The USA could not even prevent North Korea from getting nukes. And the North Korean economy is ridiculously small.
If China, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, Iran or India decide that development of strong AI is the key to achieve their strategic goals - what are the West going to do about it?
- ChatGTP 4y agoMy opinion is that of all the countries you've listed, they're much less likely to give their populace access to such systems. So I think it's less of a problem, albeit a problem. North Korea, for example, if they developed an AGI or whatever advanced AI, aren't going to give it to their citizens to play with, it's again, 1984 there already, and it will continue that way.
- zirgs 4y agoThey might not give it to their citizens, but they would certainly allow their military industrial complex and spy agencies to use it. Would be stupid to waste time arguing about AI ethics in the West while getting our political systems totally wrecked by advanced AIs of hostile nations.
- ChatGTP 4y agoWhy on earth would other nations be ahead of the US just because you personally can't use ChatGPT to build killer nanobots ? I don't get it? They US government or military would just hire the best people to work behind closed doors?
- zirgs 4y agoBecause the AIs that their citizens could access would still be more powerful than those in the West if there's no obsession with AI ethics and crap like that over there. Even if the best stuff is kept for the military/spies.
