Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warns AI could reach a ‘dangerous point’ in future

Hindustan Times  

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt warned that artificial intelligence could eventually reach a “dangerous” stage, urging humanity to be prepared to step away if needed. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt “When the system can self-improve, we need to seriously think about unplugging it,” Schmidt said Sunday in an interview with American television network ABC News. The American channel also highlighted China’s progress in AI development, to which Eric Schmidt noted that while the US previously held the lead, China has caught up in the past year and is now poised to surpass American technological programs. Conducted during Yale University’s CEO Summit and reported by CNN, the survey revealed that 42 per cent of CEOs believed AI could lead to humanity’s extinction within 5-10 years.
