Prominent AI scientists and technologists have raised concerns about the hypothetical existential risks posed by these developments.

Key Points: 
  • Prominent AI scientists and technologists have raised concerns about the hypothetical existential risks posed by these developments.
  • It’s not our place to say one cannot, or should not, worry about the more exotic risks.

What is AI?

    • Its aspiration is to build intelligent computational systems, taking as a reference human intelligence.
    • In the same way as human intelligence is complex and diverse, there are many areas within artificial intelligence that aim to emulate aspects of human intelligence, from perception to reasoning, planning and decision-making.


    AI can be applied to any field from education to transportation, healthcare, law or manufacturing. Thus, it is profoundly changing all aspects of society. Even in its “narrow AI” form, it has a significant potential to generate sustainable economic growth and help us tackle the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, such as climate change, pandemics, and inequality.

Challenges posed by today’s AI systems

    • The recent emergence of highly capable large, generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) models exacerbates many of the existing challenges while creating new ones that deserve careful attention.
    • The unprecedented scale and speed with which these tools have been adopted by hundreds of millions of people worldwide is placing further stress on our societal and regulatory systems.

Is AI really an existential risk for humanity?

    • Unfortunately, rather than focusing on these tangible risks, the public conversation – most notably the recent open letters – has mainly focused on hypothetical existential risks of AI.
    • These are real human beings whose lives are in severe danger today, a danger certainly not caused by super AI.
    • Focusing on a hypothetical existential risk deviates our attention from the documented severe challenges that AI poses today, does not encompass the different perspectives of the broader research community, and contributes to unnecessary panic in the population.
