The Extinction Risk of Artificial Intelligence: Experts Warn

Experts, including heads of OpenAI and Google DeepMind, have warned that artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity. Dozens have supported a statement published on the webpage of the Centre for AI Safety, calling for mitigating the risk of extinction from AI to be a global priority. However, many other experts believe that fears of AI wiping out humanity are unrealistic and a distraction from issues such as bias in systems that are already a problem.
