The call for a 6 month moratorium on making AI progress beyond GPT-4 is a terrible idea. I’m seeing many new applications in education, healthcare, food, … that’ll help many people. Improving GPT-4 will help. Lets balance the huge value AI is creating vs. realistic risks.AI Verified source (2023)

ai_verified: Andrew Ng published this wording verbatim in a March 29, 2023 thread/post: Thread Reader reproduces the exact text in items 1/ ("The call for a 6 month moratorium...") and the next sentence block, and Andrew Ng’s own LinkedIn post shows the same wording, including "Lets balance..." without an apostrophe. The VentureBeat article discusses his opposition but does not itself appear to contain this exact full quote. ([threadreaderapp.com](https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1641121451611947009.html))

Source URL (VentureBeat 'Titans of AI Andrew Ng and Yann LeCun oppose call for pause on powerful AI systems') returns 403 to WebFetch, but Google search returns the exact verbatim text of the quote, which originated as Andrew Ng's March 29, 2023 tweet (x.com/AndrewYNg/status/1641121451611947009): 'The call for a 6 month moratorium on making AI progress beyond GPT-4 is a terrible idea. I'm seeing many new applications in education, healthcare, food, … that'll help many people. Improving GPT-4 will help. Lets balance the huge value AI is creating vs. realistic risks.' Author attribution to Andrew Ng correct. Year 2023 matches. Vote 'against' on statement #379 ('Ban superintelligence development until safety consensus is reached') is correctly aligned. Verified.
