Coinbase CEO Says Halting of AI Systems’ Training Is a Bad Idea

  • Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) CEO Brian Armstrong shared his contempt over the halting of AI systems’ training.
  • Gary Marcus called the open letter from the Future of Life Institute a “big deal.”
  • Armstrong asserted that the fear of threats should never hinder progress.

The American business executive and CEO of the crypto firm Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, shared his deprecation on the temporary pause of the AI systems that exceed GPT-4. He described the pause as the influence of fear controlling progress.

On March 31, Armstrong tweeted that he should be counted among those men who think about the pause as a “bad idea”:

Notably, the Coinbase CEO asserted that though the AI system may pose threats, there are no “experts” or committees to adjudicate the issue. In addition, Armstrong posited that “we should keep marching forward with progress because the good outweighs the bad.”

It is noteworthy that the business executive suggested that fear should never stand as a hindrance to progress. He also warned to be “wary of anyone trying to capture control in some central authority.”
