Generative AI has been a hot topic since OpenAI's ChatGPT made waves with its release last year—but the hype has been accompanied by doomsday warnings that predict the technology will soon outsmart people and supersede the human race.
Earlier this year, experts including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and deep learning pioneer Yoshua Bengio signed a letter calling for a six-month pause in the development of advanced AI systems, arguing the technology was becoming “human competitive.” That letter now has over 33,000 signatories.
