Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp has become the latest of many—including Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan—to draw parallels between the invention of nuclear weapons and that of artificial intelligence.
In a New York Times op-ed, Karp wrote that concerns about the dangers of A.I. were “not unjustified,” but its development should not be halted because, like it or not, we are now stuck in an A.I. arms race. And that, per Karp, means people in the U.S. tech industry should enthusiastically embrace links with the U.S. military.
