Over 100 AI experts, engineers, and notable figures have signed in agreement that the risk of extinction from AI needs to be mitigated.
A long list of AI scientists, engineers, and other notable figures have signed a statement warning of the urgent risks artificial intelligence poses, including extinction.
The « Statement on AI Risk » was posted on the Center for AI Safety (CAIS) website and reads as follows:
« Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war. »
Such a statement could easily be viewed as hyperbole, but then you scan the list of experts and notable figures who have put their signature to it, and it’s hard not to take it seriously.
