JAKARTA - Microsoft's technology giant President Brad Smith, said there is no possibility of super-sophisticated artificial intelligence will be created in the next 12 months. But he also warned that the technology might still be a few more decades.

Sam Altman, Founder of OpenAI, this month was removed as CEO by the Board of Directors of the Company, but was quickly restored after a full weekend protest from employees and shareholders.

The dismissal occurred as soon as the researchers contacted the council, warning about the dangerous discoveries that they worried could have unwanted consequences.

"The internal project called Q* (read Q-Star) can be a breakthrough in the search for startups for what is known as public intelligence (AGI)," one source told Reuters. OpenAI defines AGI as an autonomous system that exceeds humans in most economic tasks of value.

However, President Microsoft Brad Smith, spoke to reporters in Britain on Thursday, November 30, rejected claims about the dangerous breakthrough.

"There is no possibility at all that you will see the mentioned AGI, where the computer is stronger than humans, in the next 12 months. This will take years, if not for decades, but I still think it's time to focus The security is now," Smith said, as quoted by VOI from Reuters.

But the warning to the OpenAI Council is one of the factors among the longer list of complaints that caused the dismissal of Altman, as well as concerns about the commercialization of progress before assessing the risks.

When asked whether such a discovery contributed to the dismissal of Altman, Smith said: "I don't think it is a case at all. I think there is clearly a difference between the council and others, but that is not basically about such concerns."

"What we need is a safety brake. Just as you have a safety brake in the elevator, circuit breaker for electricity, emergency brakes for buses - there should be a safety brake in an artificial intelligence system that controls critical infrastructure, so they are always under human control," Smith added.
