Ukusabalalisa Okuzinzile
NgoLwesine, uMongameli weMicrosoft uBrad Smith umemezele ukuthi ukukhathazeka kwakhe okukhulu nge-AI kugxile ekukhathazekeni okukhulayo kwe ama-deepfakes kanye nemidiya yokwenziwa eyenzelwe ukukhohlisa, AbakwaReuters bayabika.
USmith ukhulume amazwi akhe ngenkathi eveza “ipulani ngokubusa komphakathi kwe-AI” enkulumweni ethi Iplanethi Yezwe, imnyuziyamu yobuciko bolimi eWashington, DC. Ukukhathazeka kwakhe kuza lapho ukukhuluma ngemithetho ye-AI kuya ngokuya kuvame, okubangelwa kakhulu ukuthandwa kwe-OpenAI’s ChatGPT kanye ne- uhambo lwezepolitiki yi-OpenAI CEO uSam Altman.
USmith uzwakalise isifiso sakhe sokuphuthuma ekwenzeni izindlela zokuhlukanisa phakathi kwezithombe zangempela noma amavidiyo nalezo ezidalwe yi-AI lapho zingase zisetshenziselwe izinjongo ezingekho emthethweniikakhulukazi ekunikeni amandla ulwazi lokungahlali kahle emphakathini.
“Kuzofanele sibhekane nezinkinga eziphathelene ne-deepfakes. Kuzodingeka sibhekane ikakhulukazi nalokho esikukhathazayo mayelana nethonya le-cyber yangaphandle, izinhlobo zemisebenzi eseyenziwe kakade nguhulumeni waseRussia, amaShayina, ama-Irani,” kusho uSmith, ngokusho kweReuters. “Kudingeka sithathe izinyathelo zokuvikela ekuguqulweni kokuqukethwe okusemthethweni ngenhloso yokukhohlisa noma ukuqola abantu ngokusebenzisa i-AI.”
USmith uphinde waphusha ukwethulwa kokunikezwa kwelayisense kwezinhlobo ezibucayi ze-AI, ephikisa ngokuthi lawa malayisensi kufanele athwale izibopho zokuvikela ekusongelweni kwezokuphepha, kungaba ngokomzimba, ukuphepha kwe-inthanethi, noma kuzwelonke. “Sizodinga isizukulwane esisha sokulawula ukuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe, okungenani kube noguquko lwemithetho yokuthunyelwa kwempahla kwamanye amazwe esinayo, ukuze siqinisekise ukuthi lezi zinhlobo azintshontshwa noma azisetshenziswa ngezindlela ezingaphula imigomo yezwe yokulawula ukuthekelisa,” usho kanje.
Ngesonto eledlule, u-Altman kuvele eSenate yaseMelika futhi wazwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwakhe nge-AI, ethi imboni esafufusa idinga ukulawulwa. U-Altman, inkampani yakhe i-OpenAI isekelwa yi-Microsoft, ubemele ukubambisana komhlaba wonke ku-AI kanye nezisusa zokuthobela ukuphepha.
Enkulumeni yakhe ngoLwesine, uSmith unanele le mizwa futhi wagcizelela ukuthi abantu kumele baphendule ngezinkinga ezidalwe yi-AI. Unxuse ukuthi kubekwe izinyathelo zokuphepha ezinhlelweni ze-AI ezilawula ingqalasizinda ebalulekile, njengegridi kagesi nokuphakelwa kwamanzi, ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukubhekwa kwabantu.
Emzamweni wokugcina obala mayelana nobuchwepheshe be-AI, uSmith unxuse ukuthi abathuthukisi kufanele bakhe uhlelo “lwazi ikhasimende lakho” -isitayela sokubheka ukuthi ubuchwepheshe be-AI busetshenziswa kanjani futhi bazise umphakathi ngokuqukethwe okudalwe yi-AI, okwenza kube lula bona okuqukethwe okuqanjiwe. Ngokuhambisana nalezi zindlela, izinkampani ezifana I-Adobe, Googlefuthi iMicrosoft yonke isebenza ngezindlela zokuthi i-watermark noma uma kungenjalo ilebula okuqukethwe okukhiqizwa yi-AI.
Ama-Deepfakes abe yisihloko socwaningo eMicrosoft iminyaka manje. NgoSepthemba, Isikhulu Esiyinhloko Sezesayensi yakwaMicrosoft u-Eric Horvitz wabhala iphepha locwaningo mayelana nezingozi zakho zombili ama-deepfakes asebenzisanayo nokudalwa kwemilando yokwenziwa, izihloko nazo ezifakwe ku-a 2020 isihloko ku-FastCompany yilo mbhali, ophinde washo imizamo yangaphambili evela kwaMicrosoft ekutholeni ama-deepfakes.
Phakathi naleso sikhathi, iMicrosoft is kanyekanye ukusunduza ukufaka umbhalo– kanye nobuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza be-AI obususelwa ezithombeni emikhiqizweni yayo, okuhlanganisa iHhovisi neWindows. Yakho ukuqaliswa kanzima ye-Bing chatbot engenamibandela nengahlolisiswa (ngokusekelwe kunguqulo ye-GPT-4) ngoFebhuwari igqugquzelwe ukusabela okujulile ngokomzwelo kusuka kubasebenzisi bayo. Futhi lwabusa uvalo olucashile kungenzeka ukuthi ubuhlakani obubusa umhlaba buseduze, ukusabela lokho abanye abagxeki bathi iyingxenye yomkhankaso wokumaketha ovela kubathengisi be-AI.
Ngakho-ke umbuzo osalayo: Kusho ukuthini uma izinkampani ezifana neMicrosoft zithengisa wona kanye umkhiqizo ezisixwayisa ngawo?
