The advances computer scientists have made in artificial intelligence are astounding — and dangerous. A group around Tesla founder Elon Musk even called for a moratorium on research in this area in view of ChatGPT and AI image generators. But how big is the threat from artificial intelligence really? Five leading experts outline their worst ideas.
Max Tegmark is an AI researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a philosopher of science. The 56-year-old president of the ‘Future of Life’ Institute sees opportunities in AI tools, but also risks, up to and including human extinction. Tegmark: ‘It has often happened that species have been wiped out by smarter species.’ As artificial intelligence becomes the smarter species, we will face the fate of the many animal species that have wiped humans from this planet. Our species may even fall prey to AI as mere collateral damage.
