Ex-Google CEO Joins Musk and Hinton in Warning of AI's Existential Threat

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has warned about the potential "existential risk" of artificial intelligence and emphasized the need for governments to understand how to prevent its misuse by malevolent individuals. Schmidt stressed the importance of being prepared to ensure that evil actors do not abuse AI technology and acknowledged the need for AI regulation as a "broader question for society." His remarks echo the sentiments of other influential figures in the tech industry, including Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Geoffrey Hinton, and current Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who have all previously expressed concerns about the risks associated with unregulated AI development.
