The Urgent Need for a Global Ban on AI Research.

Elon Musk's call for a six-month pause in the development of next-generation AI systems followed a months-long public battle over what he called "woke" AI. Musk has been opposing the way OpenAI has been developing its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, and has been recruiting AI experts to create his own non-woke chat AI system. Musk's opposition to OpenAI went beyond its funding model, and he left the board of OpenAI in 2018. Musk and other technology experts signed a letter that warned of advanced AI technology that could pose "profound risks to society and humanity."
