Scientists, experts saying mitigating ‘extinction’ risk of AI should be global priority
A group of artificial intelligence (AI) experts and industry leaders are warning that AI could pose an existential threat to humanity and that mitigating its risks should be a “global priority.”
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war,” the one-sentence statement read.
The open letter was released Tuesday by a nonprofit organization, the Center for AI Safety, and was signed by more than 350 AI leaders, experts, and engineers — including chief executives from leading AI companies: Sam Altman of OpenAI, Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind, and Dario Amodei of Anthropic.
The latest warning comes as worry about the potential harms posed by the rapidly developing technology has spread through the industry and beyond.
