Businesspeople and experts reiterate the warning: “AI represents a risk of 'extinction' for humanity”

Artificial Intelligence must be “a global priority along with other risks to society, such as pandemics and risks of extinction of humanity with nuclear wars”, explains the text.

Critics of Artificial Intelligence warn of the possibility of an algorithm taking over essential activities for a society, such as energy supply or defense. Additionally, conversational bots and other AI applications could cause millions of job losses.

Extinction of humanity and investments and AI

This statement is not the first apocalyptic statement signed by experts from the same industry responsible for the world's latest AI releases ⤵️:

Why Elon Musk and technology experts call for pause on AI development?

The billionaire owner of Twitter, SpaceX and Tesla, Elon Musk, and historian Yuval Noah Hariri joined hundreds of global technology experts who signed, this Wednesday (29), an appeal for a six-month pause in research into Artificial Intelligences (AIs) more powerful than the ChatGPT 4. The model of OpenAI was released this month. The authors of the petition warn of “great risks for humanity” if AIs are not controlled and supervised correctly.

The irony is that, at the same time as they raise the alarm, businesspeople invest and attract billions of dollars in AI, publicly declaring themselves intimidated by the possibilities of this new technology.

Two months ago, other personalities, such as billionaire Elon Musk, signed another public letter, in which they asked for a pause in the development of AI until they could guarantee its complete safety.
