Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has revealed the frightening potential of artificial intelligence (AI) technology during an interview with CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin. Nadella’s comments come at a time when tech giants are competing to launch products with AI integration. Leaders and experts raised concerns about the potential dangers of this rapidly advancing technology, urging for its regulation.
The Microsoft chief executive posits that AI can bring great benefit to society but can also lead to unintended consequences. To unlock the potential of AI without the risks, Nadella asserts that the whole of society must come together and maximize the opportunity while minimizing the danger.
He also cited Steve Jobs’ famous saying “computers are like the bicycles for the mind,” and believes that AI can now take this to the next level. AI technology can break down information and make it easier for children to learn without the fear of being judged, he said in an interview.
Nevertheless, Geoffrey Hinton, who recently left his job at Google, is warning society of the potential risks of AI. Hinton believes that the technology is becoming increasingly dangerous and expresses regret at his life’s work in an interview with the New York Times.
