Fears are beginning to grow over the potential for AI to pose a serious threat to humanity and some of the most powerful names in the tech sector have begun speaking out.
The most recent outcry came from Google chief Sundar Pichai who said the wrong deployment of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence technology could “cause a lot of harm on a societal level”.
Speaking in an interview with CBS, he said: “It can be very harmful if deployed wrongly and we don’t have all the answers there yet – and the technology is moving fast. So does that keep me up at night? Absolutely”.
