Jensen Huang is the CEO of Nvidia. He says that artificial intelligence (AI) will not end the world. He says there is a "0% chance" that AI will cause the end of the world by the year 2030. Some people fear that AI will become "superhuman" and kill humans. Huang says these ideas are not based on science and are "irresponsible."
There is a big disagreement in the technology world. Some researchers worry that AI might cause many deaths. They think advanced machines might do things that hurt humans. However, many workers at companies like OpenAI, Meta, and DeepMind do not believe this. They say there is no evidence that AI will kill humans.
A former data scientist from Meta agrees with this view. He says there is no proof that AI will lead to human death. Rishub Jain is the founder of Sampura Research and worked at DeepMind. He says many people in the AI field think these fears are "a little jokey." Many professionals do not take these warnings seriously.
Experts say we should not worry about the end of the world. Instead, they say we must focus on "actual near-term harms." These are real problems happening now. For example, hackers might use AI for bad things. There are also worries about using AI in the military. Developers want to fix these real risks, like cybersecurity and ethics, to make AI safe for everyone.
