Top researchers, experts and CEOs (including Sam Altman of OpenAI) have warned that artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of humanity. In a 22-word statement, they said that "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war."
The statement was published by US-based nonprofit, the Center for AI Safety, and was co-signed by Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis as well as Geoffrey Hinton and Youshua Bengio, two of the three AI researchers who won the 2018 Turing Award for their work on AI.
