Speaking to The Guardian, Gebru — who claims she was sacked by Google for calling out the inherent biases in the tech giant's AI systems — said, “Unless there is external pressure to do something different, companies are not just going to self-regulate. We need regulation and something better than just a profit motive.”
“In fact, it is a gold rush. And a lot of the people who are making money are not the people actually in the midst of it. But it’s humans who decide whether all this should be done or not,” she told The Guardian.
Gebru, who co-led Google’s ethical AI team, wrote an academic paper that warned about the kind of AI that is increasingly built into our lives. The paper noted that the clear danger with such intelligence was the huge data sets on which it stood.
It further said that such data sets “overrepresent hegemonic viewpoints and encode biases potentially damaging to marginalised populations”. Gebru claims she was asked to either withdraw the paper or take her name off it.
Calls to regulate AI have grown over the past year amid technological advancements at breakneck speed. The launch of ChatGPT<\/a> — a conversational text-based chatbot — by OpenAI<\/a> can well be seen as an inflection point in the field of generative AI, which triggered a wave that everyone today wants to ride on.
During a Senate hearing earlier this month, Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, said that regulating AI was essential.
“We think that regulatory intervention by governments will be critical to mitigate the risks of increasingly powerful models,” Altman told the Senate on the impact of AI.
“We have tried to be very clear about the magnitude of the risks here. My biggest fear is that we — the technology or industry — cause significant harm to the world. I think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong and we want to work with the government to prevent that.”
In an interview with news agency AP, OpenAI’s chief technology officer Mira Miurati echoed a similar view and asked governments to be involved in the regulation of AI.
“These (AI) systems should be regulated. At OpenAI, we're constantly talking with governments, regulators, and other organisations that are developing these systems, to — at least at the company level — agree on some level of standards. But I think a lot more needs to happen. Government regulators should certainly be involved.”

Timnit Gebru前研究伦理人工智能(人工智能)谷歌在人工智能,呼吁加强监管大型科技公司不会“自我调节”在持续的淘金热,他说。
在接受卫报Gebru——谷歌声称她被解雇的呼唤科技巨头的固有偏见的AI系统——说,“除非有一些不同的外部压力,公司不仅要自我调节。我们需要监管和更好的东西不仅仅是利润动机。”
“事实上,这是一个的淘金热。很多的人赚钱并不是人们实际上在其中。但它是人决定是否应该做这一切,”她告诉《卫报》记者说。
Gebru,共同谷歌的伦理AI团队,写了一篇学术论文,警告的AI越来越融入我们的生活。本文指出,明确危险这样的情报在它站在巨大的数据集。
进一步说,这样的数据集”使有过多的代表霸权观点和编码偏见潜在的破坏性边缘化人群”。Gebru声称她被要求撤回论文或脱下她的名字。
调用规范人工智能已经过去一年在技术以惊人的速度进步。的推出ChatGPT——对话文本聊天机器人OpenAI可以被视为一个转折点在生殖领域的AI,引发一波今天,每个人都想骑。
在本月早些时候的一次参议院听证会上,Sam Altman OpenAI的首席执行官说,人工智能调节是必要的。
“我们认为,由政府监管干预对减轻至关重要的风险日益强大的模式,”奥特曼告诉参议院AI的影响。
“我们一直非常清楚这里的风险的大小。我最大的恐惧是我们——技术或产业造成严重的伤害。我认为如果这种技术差错,它可以完全错了,我们希望与政府阻止。”
在通讯社美联社的采访中,OpenAI首席技乐动扑克术官米拉Miurati呼应了类似的观点,要求政府参与AI的规定。
“这些(AI)系统应该监管。OpenAI,我们不断地与政府、监管机构、和其他组织正在开发这些系统,——至少在公司层面上达成某种程度的标准。但我认为更需要发生。政府监管部门当然应该参与进来。”
