According To Experts In The AI Industry, AI Poses A Threat On Human Existence

Top industry leaders, academics, and even some celebrities have in the recent week sounded rather 鈥榝rantic鈥� alarms regarding the threat artificial intelligence poses to the existence of the human race. In a brief statement, they claim that an AI extinction event should be a top priority for all involved.

Part of the statement read, 鈥淢itigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.鈥� It was signed by several industry leaders and published by the Center for AI Safety.

Some of those who signed it include OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Geoffrey Hinton known as the 鈥済odfather鈥� of AI, Microsoft鈥檚 CTO Bruce Schneier, musician Grimes, and Google鈥檚 Kevin Scott among many others.

This warning is part of a trend where more and more experts are coming clean with predictions that AI could be potentially fatal for humanity.

There Are Those Who Dismiss The Fear Of AI

While most news outlets in the past few months have been filled with warnings on the danger AI poses, there are those who dismiss them.

One such character is Kyunghyun Cho, a prominent AI researcher and an associate professor at New York University. Professor Cho as per an article by Venture Beat, has expressed his frustration with the current discussions about AI.

 According to Cho, these 鈥渄oomer鈥� narratives are a cry for attention that is distracting from the real issues around AI. Referring to these 鈥榳histleblowers as 鈥渉ero Scientists,鈥� Cho warned against taking their warnings and doom predictions as gospel.

鈥淔irst of all, I think that there are just too many letters. Generally, I鈥檝e never signed any of these petitions鈥� It鈥檚 very clear that nuclear weapons, climate change, and potential rogue AI, of course, can be dangerous.

But there are many other harms that are actually being made by AI, as well as immediate benefits that we see from AI, yet there was not a single potential proposal or discussion on what we can do about the immediate benefits as well as the immediate harms of AI.鈥� Cho said in the interview with Venture Beat.

According to Cho, the reason that these warnings about AI are catching on is because 鈥淚n a sense, it is a great story.鈥� He goes on to add that there is nothing wrong with the excitement around AI.

The problem is that all sides, that is the public, researchers, and policymakers, all seem to focus on the positives and negatives of the technology instead of 鈥渂eing critical about it.鈥�
