"They will treat us like we treat animals" - the alarming prediction of Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of ChatGPT

Although from the outside and from ignorance, OpenAI, the parent company and creator of ChatGPT seems to be a model to follow and an example of a company, the truth is that behind closed doors it tends more towards chaos. We only have to remember how a plot was made against the CEO, Sam Altman, to fire him and only 48 hours later he was reinstated in his former position.

This is just one of the most visual examples out there, but it shows that OpenAI, as much as it is growing, is not entirely stable , and even its founders do not agree on the direction the company should take. On the one hand, there is Elon Musk, who left the ship due to internal disputes and differences in vision for the future, but he is not the only one.

And Ilya Sutskever, another of the OpenAI founders and one of the architects of this failed attempt at a motion of censure against Altman , also left the company a few months ago due to disagreements with the board of directors over the dismantling of the company's security council to create his own focused on cybersecurity.

This is because more and more experts are pointing out that AI is a danger , and not from the point of view that it will take our jobs because it does so in a faster, more efficient and cheaper way (which it also does), but because many point out that AI will reach a point where it will be conscious and from then on we will not know or be able to control or stop it.

This concern is increasingly expressed by people who have worked in this sector, such as the so-called 'godfather of AI' who recently stated that "we didn't know what we had created" referring to AI.

Although he has always argued that "AI is good, because it will be able to solve all the problems we have today," he has not forgotten the dangers associated with the rapid development of this technology and, using his words for a mini-documentary by The Guardian, Sutskever already warned of this danger.

"I think a good analogy could be the way humans treat animals. It's not that we hate animals, but when it comes to connecting a highway between two cities, we don't ask their permission. We just do it because it's important to us, " the expert explained.

"The relationship between us and AI will be similar. They will treat us like animals, not out of malice, but out of utilitarian indifference," he concludes. And for the first time in history, humans will have to deal with "beings" that are more intelligent than us. Whether we like it or not, something will change things in the world as we know it, and it will be important to establish limits and controls so that this does not get out of hand.
