“THERE WILL BE NO (HUMAN) PROGRAMMERS IN 5 YEARS” 👩‍💻

The most unspoken reason that AI coders are better than human coders is because AI coders don’t get salt and french fry grease in their keyboards! 🍟

What happened? Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of Stability AI, predicted, "There will be no (human) programmers in five years.”

Why? Data from GitHub reveals that 41% of all code right now is AI generated, and this is expected to increase as AI’s coding ability becomes stronger and more tools are released to help coders. As coding continues to become a strength of AI, it will become more and more irrelevant for humans to manually write code, for an AI algorithm could make it much more efficient.

Is this an overreaction? There is no doubt that AI has the power to write effective code, but much of the code that is being written by AI is still being prompted and checked by human coders. It’s difficult to imagine how AI would be able to operate autonomously without a human guide, but I suppose we would be naive to rule out that possibility given the recent growth we have seen.

UNITED NATIONS TO HOLD FIRST MEETING ON AI THREATS 🦾 

Big-wigs discussing big-wig thaanngs 💂‍♂️

What’s happening? The U.N. Security Council will hold a first-ever meeting, organized by the United Kingdom, on the potential threats of AI to international peace and security on July 18th.

What is the meeting about? The meeting will include briefings by international AI experts and Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. The U.N. chief said, “These scientists and experts have called on the world to act, declaring AI an existential threat to humanity on a par with the risk of nuclear war.” This will be an opportunity for these experts to be heard by world leaders, many with regulatory powers.

What else? Guterres plans establish an AI advisory board, aiming to develop initiatives for the U.N. to undertake. Furthermore, he expressed a positive inclination towards the creation of a new U.N. agency dedicated to AI, drawing inspiration from the International Atomic Energy Agency's knowledge-driven approach and regulatory authority.

JAPAN TO IMPLEMENT SOFT AI REGULATIONS 🇯🇵

To regulate, or not to regulate? That is the question … 🤔

What’s the deal? Japan is considering adopting more lenient regulations on AI compared to the European Union. The move comes as Japan seeks to strike a delicate balance between fostering innovation and ensuring the responsible development and use of AI technologies.

Why the lenient regulations? While the EU has been advocating for stricter regulations to address ethical concerns surrounding AI—such as privacy, transparency, and algorithmic accountability—Japan appears to be taking a different approach. The Japanese government believes that excessive regulations might impede the rapid advancement and adoption of AI, potentially hindering its competitive edge in the global technology landscape. By adopting softer AI rules, Japan aims to create a favorable environment for AI research, development, and deployment. However, this does not mean that Japan is neglecting ethical considerations. The country is actively engaged in formulating its own set of guidelines that promote responsible AI use while encouraging innovation and growth.

What does this mean for other countries? This divergence in regulatory approaches between Japan and the EU underscores the ongoing global debate on striking the right balance between AI advancement and safeguarding against potential risks. As AI continues to shape various sectors, it is crucial for nations to collaborate and establish internationally recognized standards that ensure the ethical and responsible deployment of AI technologies.
