The artificial intelligence (AI) task force adviser to the prime minister of the United Kingdom said humans have roughly two years to control and regulate AI before it becomes too powerful.
In an interview with a local U.K. media outlet, Matt Clifford, who also serves as the chair of the government’s Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA), stressed that current systems are getting “more and more capable at an ever-increasing rate.”
He continued to say that if officials don’t consider safety and regulations now, the systems will become “very powerful” in two years.
“We’ve got two years to get in place a framework that makes both controlling and regulating these very large models much more possible than it is today.”
