Nobel Laureate Parisi Calls for More Public Research Into AI
Physicist Giorgio Parisi says public debate on artificial intelligence is muddled, but downplays fears of machines evolving autonomously.
Italian physicist Giorgio Parisi, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2021, has called for increased public investment in research on artificial intelligence, according to ANSA.
Parisi said the current public debate surrounding AI is "muddled," according to the report, but he sought to downplay concerns about the technology's risks, saying it is possible to rule out the idea that AI systems could evolve autonomously.
The Nobel laureate's comments come amid a wider international discussion about the pace of AI development and calls from scientists and policymakers for greater oversight and understanding of the technology.
ANSA did not provide further details on the setting or context of Parisi's remarks.
