Will AI really destroy humanity? Pioneers who created the tech weigh in

As researchers warn that artificial intelligence could pose catastrophic risks, some of the pioneers who helped develop the technology are weighing in with additional warnings on the dangers of unfettered advances in capability. A series of stark AI safety warnings has emerged over the past week, with researchers from major AI labs like Anthropic, OpenAI and GoogleDeepMind all sounding the alarm about potentially catastrophic risks from developing the technology.

AI bosses including Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and Elon Musk have shown rare agreement in calling for a slowdown and regulatory oversight. Meanwhile, concerns have also intensified debate in Washington. While some members of Congress from both the Democratic and Republican parties have advocated for bills to check the progress of AI, U.S. President Donald Trumpon Monday raged against growing calls for AI regulation.
