Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has voiced his criticism of the “hyper-autonomous” model in AI.
Buterin argued that increasing human input in AI development would yield both better and safer results.
Buterin argues that instead of AI systems that simply produce on their own, “open-weight” models that allow users to manipulate and direct the process are far more valuable. Such systems give users control throughout the process, rather than operating as a completely closed box.
Buterin also shared his vision for the future of AI technology, which sees a system equipped with brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) being able to dynamically adapt its output by gathering instant feedback from the user.
Thus, artificial intelligence will be able to gain a more flexible and secure structure shaped not only by predetermined rules but also by real-time human interaction.
Buterin’s statements serve as a significant warning against the recent acceleration of fully autonomous systems development in the field of artificial intelligence. He argues that hybrid models centered around human control may be the most reliable approach of the future, both ethically and technically.
Experts say Buterin’s assessments could spark interest in user-centric, transparent, and flexible solutions in AI development. This vision offers a new framework for discussions on AI security.
