(CBS, KYMA/KECY) – Artificial intelligence (AI) could pose a “risk of extinction” to humanity on the scale of nuclear war or pandemics, and mitigating that risk should be a “global priority,” according to an open letter signed by AI leaders such as Sam Altman of OpenAI as well as Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather” of AI.
The one-sentence open letter, issued by the nonprofit Center for AI Safety, is both brief and ominous, without extrapolating how the more than 300 signees foresee AI developing into an existential threat to humanity.
In an email to CBS MoneyWatch, Dan Hendrycks, the director of the Center for AI Safety, wrote that there are “numerous pathways to societal-scale risks from AI.”

If such an AI was intelligent or capable enough, it may pose significant risk to society as a whole.”

And that will require the tech sector coming together with government. And it really will require more than one government. This needs to be an international initiative, but we’ve done that in recent years. In other spaces, we can do it again. And I think we should,” Smith expressed…CONT…https://www.linkedin.com/pulse..../im-woke-proud-ai-ex
