Recently, Nature magazine had an exclusive interview with three scientific consultants of the film Oppenheimer, and deeply discussed the cooperation experience between Nolan and them during the filming process.
Director Nolan believes that in the current AI era, human beings are facing challenges similar to those of Oppenheimer. He stressed that those who master the development direction of AI technology need to shoulder their responsibilities bravely like Oppenheimer. He also believes that at this critical moment, we should not only pay attention to the rapid development of AI technology, but also pay attention to the potential risks it may bring.
Nolan said that during the first nuclear test in history, people were afraid of the out-of-control chain reaction caused by nuclear fission, fearing that it would destroy the whole planet. Now, with the rapid development of AI technology, famous AI researchers including Hinton and technology giant Musk are beginning to worry that AI technology may bring irreversible harm to human civilization.
In an interview with Wired magazine, Nolan talked about the potential threat of AI. He said that this problem has actually existed for some time, but it has not attracted enough attention. Over the years, the development of artificial intelligence in weapon system and its problems have become very obvious, but only a few journalists have reported it. Only recently, with the appearance of a chat robot that can write for local newspapers, this problem was suddenly hyped into a crisis.
Director Nolan believes that we need to face up to the challenges brought by AI technology and seek reasonable solutions. He called on people from all walks of life to pay close attention to this issue in order to protect the development of human civilization in the AI era.
