The Terrifying Risks of AI: Experts Sound the Alarm

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could pose existential risks and governments need to know how to ensure the technology is not "misused by evil people." Schmidt said his concern is that AI is an "existential risk" and that there are scenarios where these systems will be able to find zero-day exploits in cybersecurity or discover new kinds of biology. He did not have a clear view on how AI should be regulated but said that it is a "broader question for society."
