This Wednesday, the 29th, a group of technology experts proposed suspending the evolution and research of GPT-4 for six months. According to Elon Musk and other experts, the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence could cause harm to mankind, and so they decided to prevent such harm from being developed.
In addition to Elon Musk, Jaan Tallinn (co-founder of Skype), Evan Sharp (co-founder of Pinterest), Steve Wozniak (co-founder of Apple), members of Google's DeepMind lab, Microsoft engineers, and another group of experts in technology.

Term to stop advance of artificial intelligence was signed
The six-month break concerns research on artificial intelligences superior to GPT-4. The OpenAI model was launched in March and issued a warning about possible damage it would bring to society around the world.
The stoppage request was published on the futureoflife.or website, when all experts asked for the pause to be defined as government security orders.
This means that other security and regulatory bodies need to be involved along with the research, as a way of overseeing the tools being created.
The same signature also provides that the damage to humanity caused by artificial intelligence will be held accountable by companies. In a curious case for Elon Musk, given that the billionaire is one of the co-founders of OpenAI, the company that created the ChatGPT.
Musk was involved until 2018, stating that today he is no longer involved with the company and has no part in the lack of control of any possible creation.
The creation of Chat-GPT triggered the competitive market
The letter released with the stoppage request concerns an unbridled race to create new intelligence.
According to the signatures, the big companies and big names in technology have stated that the implementation of digital brains has become something out of control.
Intelligences, although they have owners, do not guarantee a responsible and reliable function for humanity, as they also addressed in the letter.
“Powerful AI systems should only be developed when we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable”, said the experts, agreeing with the stoppage.
