AI could lead to extinction, experts warn – BBC News
Artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to the extinction of humanity, experts – including the heads of OpenAI and Google Deepmind – have warned.
Dozens have supported a statement published on the webpage of the Centre for AI Safety.
“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war” it reads.
But others in the field have said the fears about AI are overblown.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

If technology advances at an exponential rate, wouldn't it be reasonable the say that by 2030 science will have a solution to climate change, why are Governments panicking?
Or could it be that we have unreleased technology but its about global UN/WHO population control?

Do scientists envy the amazing progress made on AI by people developing AI for fun, without writing scientific papers?

The day is drawing near when all of mankind will bow to a new god
A god known as Knowledge that will abolish the archaic belief systems designed for those who fear their own mortality
Science is on the verge of debunking the preposterous concepts of mythological superstitions and enlightening the world to a new age of self-empowerment
An age of unfathomable possibility
An age of prosperity
An age of universal advancement and understanding
An age in which the faceless will have to say
We Told You So
-The Faceless
The Rings of Saturn are the consequences that surrounds us but what we hold dear to our hearts will keep us safe.

Stop with the fear mongering. They said the same thing about y2k. Or how about all of the technology created during the Industrial Revolution? There was mass hysteria that all of these things would lead to mass unemployment and we still survived. Hell, people even panicked when the calculator was released because so many people thought it would make their jobs obsolete.
Will it cost some people their jobs? Very likely. Will it be the a tidal wave of mass unemployment, starvation, etc? No. Just focus one day at a time and don’t let media fear mongering cause you to lose sleep. Remember, they’re propagandists, not objective journalists

This is true we are going beyond limits of dopamine.
This is gonna end so bad hurting the human kind + dogs and cats and ALL.
As someone who has some expertise myself , this is pretty straightforward, we are on a wrong route.
I’m not talking about GPT, I’m talking about fashion model apps, music generating apps, some say neuralink, some say apple’s new vision pro, first of all, what’s the point of these? Ask this question, and next , ask from yourself, if that’s the point so will it solve my problem? I mean, won’t it distract you too and solve it pretty straight forward or make it worse?.
This is gonna be HUUUGE problem. A HUGE ONE. This is just any grown man or woman could understand.
This is not like smart phone coming out, or cell phone invention.
THEY ALL ARE STRAIGHTFORWARD SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS AND THEY REALLY SOLVED THOSE PROBLEMS!

Promises, promises and now fears. We are stupid mamals afterall.

You should always think the opposite of what the official media says. When the official media talks about something “dangerous to be scared about”, most probably its something beneficial for people. Insecure about their looks, they criticize other people to feel better.But when the official media talks about something “good that will improve peoples live” that’s when we have to be careful and wary.
