I met the ‘godfathers of AI’ in Paris – here’s what they told me to really worry about | Alexander Hurst

The idea that we, on Earth , might lose control of an AGI that then turns on us sounds like science fiction but is it really so far-fetched considering the exponential growth of AI development? Some of the most advanced AI models have already attempted to deceive human programmers during testing, both in pursuit of their designated objectives.

Just two months into the year , roughly $1tn in AI investments have been announced, all while the world is still falling far short of what is needed to stay even within 2C of heating, much less 1.5C.

It seems as if we have a shrinking opportunity to lay down incentives for companies to create the kind of AI that actually benefits our individual and collective lives.
