Although the Coinbase CEO is very clear in his support for ChatGPT, many other tech leaders disagree with him.
Brian Armstrong, the chief executive officer (CEO) of publicly traded US crypto exchange Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) has go out to kick against the call to stop the development of ChatGPT, the chatbot developed by OpenAI.
Armstrong took to his Twitter page to disassociate himself from the call to stop, saying that in order to make progress, fear must not be allowed to prevail over innovation.
“Count me among the people who think this is a bad idea,” Brian Armstrong wrote in a recent tweet, responding to a call from more than 1,500 tech leaders who signed an open letter calling for a moratorium of at least 6 months on technology. development. of more Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions.
“There are no ‘experts’ to adjudicate this issue, and many disparate players will never agree. Committees and bureaucracy won’t solve anything,” Armstrong added.
Armstrong’s position is understandable because he was one of the main pioneers of the cryptocurrency exchange business in the US. Even after more than a decade, the technology that underpins the market that he leads continues to experience skepticism and rejection from the public. regulators, legislators and some members of the public.
As a veteran focused on new technologies, Armstrong’s Coinbase has begun testing the use of ChatGPT to determine a token’s security review. Being an expert user, Armstrong supports the school of thought that the good that AI solutions produce far outweighs the bad.
“As with many technologies, there are dangers, but we must keep moving forward with progress because the good outweighs the bad. The marketplace of ideas leads to better results than central planning,” he said, adding: “Never let fear stop progress and beware of anyone trying to capture control in any central authority.”
ChatGPT: Experts disagree with Coinbase CEO
Although the Coinbase CEO is very clear in his support for ChatGPT, many other tech leaders disagree with him. The open letter requesting a moratorium on the development of ChatGPT and other advanced AI protocols was co-signed by Elon Musk, known in the tech world as one of the brightest minds.
The justification for the suspension call was based on the fact that AI applications can interfere with human reasoning and perhaps take over some of man’s most detailed cognitive functions. The tech leaders group also argued that advances in AI could lead to job losses and social inequality.
The launch of GPT-4, an advanced OpenAI chatbot, has even compounded concerns, and in a recent move, a nonprofit organization, the Center for AI and Digital Policy, has filed a complaint against OpenAI with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for what it alleges is violation of rules that discourage deceptive and unfair practices.
In what appears to be a UNESCO-sanctioned move, many countries may start stopping the use of ChatGPT in the future.
