Neil deGrasse Tyson Says AI is Not a Threat to Humanity

Neil deGrasse Tyson is amused by Elon Musk and others who suppose AI expertise is a risk to humanity … he thinks the doomsday bunch are watching too many films.

We acquired the famed astrophysicist at LAX Wednesday, and he snickered at Musk, Steve Wozniak and 1,100 others who sounded the alarm in an open letter that AI has change into a “dangerous race” that would imperil our very existence … they need a 6-month moratorium on AI growth to assess the dangers.

The method Neil sees it … it is nothing new. We have seen the twists and turns triggered by the technological revolution for greater than 100 years. When jobs get changed by machines, folks discover new jobs. And this is the large level … if AI finally takes over all jobs, we are able to all go to the seashore. After all, going to work is not embedded in our DNA, so society may reimagine how people stay.
