Sen. Josh Hawley Says AI Could Be the Next Printing Press… or the Next Atomic Bomb
Missouri senator and Capitol Hill attack booster Josh Hawley believes large language models like GPT4 could evolve in one of two extremely different directions.
“We could be looking at one of the most significant technological innovations in human history,” Hawley said. “My question is what kind of innovation is it going to be? Is it going to be like the printing press that diffused knowledge and power and learning…or is it going to be more like the atom bomb.”
Others, like South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham echoed the atom bomb rhetoric despite all three witnesses donwplaying the more cataclysmic doomsday AI scenarios.
