Artificial intelligence poses a more imminent threat to humanity's survival than climate crisis, pandemics, or nuclear war, as discussed by philosopher Nick Bostrom and author David Runciman, who argue that challenges posed by AI can be negotiated by drawing on lessons learned from navigating state and corporate power throughout history.
Artificial intelligence expert Geoffrey Hinton warns of the existential threat posed by computers becoming smarter than humans.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt discusses the dangers and potential of AI and emphasizes the need to utilize artificial intelligence without causing harm to humanity.
The author suggests that Hollywood's portrayal of machines turning against humans reflects humanity's own deviousness and lack of trust, implying that if artificial intelligence leads to the downfall of humanity, it is a consequence of our own actions.
Renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari warns that AI, as an "alien species," poses a significant risk to humanity's existence, as it has the potential to surpass humans in power and intelligence, leading to the end of human dominance and culture. Harari urges caution and calls for measures to regulate and control AI development and deployment.
Artificial Intelligence poses real threats due to its newness and rawness, such as ethical challenges, regulatory and legal challenges, bias and fairness issues, lack of transparency, privacy concerns, safety and security risks, energy consumption, data privacy and ownership, job loss or displacement, explainability problems, and managing hype and expectations.
