On April 11, CHAT GPT (Open AI CEO) Sam Altman answered an interview with Japanese TV (NHK).
The main contents are as follows.
About ChatGPT (AI)
・ChatGPT is the most exciting technology humanity has ever faced, and it is a tool that amplifies human will, ability, and creativity.
・By using AI as a creative partner, any intellectual labor can do much work.
・The future of humanity will be better with the use of AI.
Regarding the view that humanity is in danger of losing control of civilization (AI)
・Humans set rules for AI and make it so that it can be stopped.
・It is necessary to clarify the problems of using AI and have repeated discussions.
・Most technologies have merits and demerits, and it is essential to discuss regulations.
・Governments have a duty to discuss technology regulation, and we are willing to participate.
Impact of AI on Education
New learning tools (AI) allow you to learn in new ways.
・Let’s think about how to use ChatGPT, like when the calculator came out.

If AI becomes a creative partner and contributes to the development of human culture,
it would be ideal. In that regard, the field of conversational generative AI, such as ChatGPT, holds high potential.
However, as Mr. Altman has stated, any intellectual work that can be done in large quantities may also be defined as work that used to require 100 people but now only requires 10 people.

Technology should be something that brings happiness to people.
If AI becomes the most groundbreaking technological advancement yet, could it have the power to change the very structure of society to eliminate inequality and war?
War is still present in our current society, and so is inequality. Human desire is insatiable. I don’t believe many people want a war where they must carry weapons and kill others.
Unfortunately, the act of killing other people is often committed due to the thinking of a handful of fools or dictators or as a result of misguided education.
However, what if many people could live comfortably without any financial worries? There would be no need to become a soldier for money.
As long as we are not savages, wars will not occur that most people, including the military and police, do not support.
We hope AI can overcome humanity’s greatest invention, “money.”
We should consider the methodology of how this invention can lead human civilization to the next level without disparity and inequality while discussing the threat of AI.
We should revolutionize the social structure, together with AI, to recognize obtaining housing, food, healthcare, energy, and technology as fundamental human rights, thereby breaking free from the curse of money.
When this is realized, “AI” will replace “money” and become humanity’s greatest invention.
