AI's Threat to Humanity: Former Google CEO's Stark Warning

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns that artificial intelligence (AI) could pose a danger to humanity within the next five to ten years, comparing it to the atomic bombs dropped on Japan in 1945. Schmidt believes that the current safety measures in place are not sufficient to prevent catastrophic harm. He suggests the establishment of a non-governmental organization similar to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide accurate information to policymakers and guide decisions regarding AI's potential power. However, there are differing opinions among AI experts, with Meta's AI czar Yann LeCun stating that the tech is not yet smart enough to threaten humanity on its own.
