So I have talked about this before - as we have developed AI is has moved from a scary monster in the movies (2001: A Space Odyssey), through - "It could never happen" to the latest round of warnings.
"Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be "a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war", the Center for AI Safety says."
According to the ABC news website
"Among the dozens of signatories from AI development across the globe are Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI (the creators of ChatGPT), and Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, which has developed BARD.
Both met with US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris in the White House this month to discuss the risks associated with AI and potential regulatory actions."
We have successfully prevented nuclear war (so far), but there probably wasn't the immediate ecomonic gain from war as there is from the AI revolution.
I know it it hard, but we will just have to wait and see what our fate is!
