Now here’s a topic I really never thought I’d find myself writing about.
It’s totally unreasonable to think that none of our colleagues in the MSP channel have fielded questions recently about whether or not AI may exterminate all human life at some point. Not only are people who are leaving the frontier modelmakers predicting the possibility, their co-workers who are still working there agree with them.
Many point at Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, as being the premier doomsayer, but he was by no means the first. In 2017, I wrote an article about those who were expressing their fear that AI could someday cause global catastrophe, and the experts I quoted were Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Stephen Hawking. This is not new.
Even more recently, Geoffrey Hinton, considered one of the Godfathers of AI, left Google and began warning that what we were building could someday get out of control, and he became the first to cite a 10% chance that it would wipe out the human race.
