AI has led to massive investment in global tech companies in recent months. But some of the sector’s leading thinking are also urging caution
How we are going to deal with the rise of AI is shaping up to be one of the biggest questions of the 21st century.
While it is leading to massive investment as tech companies race to capitalise on the booming sector, some of the technology’s leading thinkers have been ringing alarm bells over its possible dangers.
“It’s obvious especially with today’s AI, computers can pass every ‘are you a human test’”, said Tesla boss Elon Musk at a recent panel. “In fact, I think they can pass a ‘are you a human test’ better than a human.”
Microsoft sounder Bill Gates has drawn parallels between the immense power of AI and that of nuclear energy and weapons.
Proponents of AI will say that this technology offers numerous benefits to various industries, including healthcare, finance, transportation, and manufacturing.
By automating routine tasks, AI technology can improve efficiency, accuracy, and productivity.
