Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, believes superintelligent AI will be “unpredictable.”

OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever to talk on a range of topics at NeurIPS, the annual artificial intelligence conference, on Friday afternoon before accepting an award for his contributions to the field.

Sutskever made his predictions for “artificial superintelligence” — artificial intelligence more capable than humans at many tasks, which he believes will be achieved at some point. Sutskever said AI superintelligence would be “different and qualitative” from the AI ​​we have today — and in some ways unrecognizable.

“[Superintelligent] “The systems will actually be effective in a real way,” Sutskever said, unlike the current crop of AI that is “very slightly effective.” They will “think” and, as a result, become unpredictable. They will understand things from limited data. Sutskever believes they will be self-aware.

They may want the rights, actually. “It’s not a bad end result if you have AI and all they want is to coexist with us and just have the rights,” Sutskever said.

After leaving OpenAI, he founded Sutskever Super Secure Intelligence (SSI)a lab focused on public safety artificial intelligence. SSI raised $1 billion in September.
