Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that he’s worried humans will start falling in love with AIs, using AI chatbot tutors as a prime example.
Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO and coauthor of the book “The Age of AI,” has said that he’s worried humans will start falling in love with AI.
It’s a fair concern, considering that, well, a good number of them already have.
“Imagine a world where you have an AI tutor that increases the educational capability of everyone in every language globally,” Schmidt in a Sunday interview, adding that this use case, among others, is “remarkable.”
“And these technologies, which are generally known as large language models, are clearly going to do this,” he continued.
“But, at the same time, they face extraordinary – we face extraordinary new challenges from these things,” Schmidt added, before asking rhetorically: “what happens when people fall in love with their AI tutor?”
It’s a particularly timely example, as just this week, The reported that OpenAI tech is powering a Silicon Valley private school’s newly-unveiled AI tutor.
