Nvidia's Jensen Huang said predictions of an extinction-level event caused by AI were'not grounded in science'. Nvidia boss says there is '0% chance' AI destroys the world by 2030 Jensen Huang dismisses warnings from former Anthropic researcher and others as'doomsday narratives' The boss of the chipmaker Nvidia has said AI will not develop to a point that will lead to the extinction of the human race within a few years, rejecting such assertions as overblown "doomsday narratives". Jensen Huang, the co-founder and chief executive of the $5tn AI chipmaker, said the claims made on social media by the former Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon that AI could become "superhuman" and kill off humanity within the decade was "irresponsible". "2030 is not going to be the end of the world. There is 0% chance that's going to be the end of the world," Huang said in an interview with CBS News. "Scaring people is unnecessary. Coxon's remarks, which were backed by two other researchers at the maker of the AI Claude, prompted an international debate about the dangers and lack of oversight of AI as companies race to develop ever more powerful models. US lawmakers have criticised AI companies over the risks and Anthropic published a threat intelligence report detailing how criminals, state-sponsored groups, spyware vendors, scientists and propagandists have tried to use its powerful AI models to design missiles and bombs, create deadly pathogens and spy on dissidents. Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, Sam Altman, the boss of the ChatGPT maker OpenAI, and Elon Musk have called for development of the technology to be slowed down. However, Donald Trump has dismissed anxiety over the AI development as a "hoax" and a "conspiracy", adding that a slowdown could give China the edge. On Sunday, Scott Bessent, the US Treasury secretary, said the US and China had agreed to set up an AI dialogue mechanism to alert each other to help contain the technology's potential dangers. Huang insisted that predictions of an extinction-level event caused by AI were "not grounded in science". "Our company's success is directly connected to the safe deployment of products and services," he said. "If we don't continue to do that, our value would be diminished.

Masayoshi Son, chairman and chief executive officer of SoftBank Group, speaks at the SoftBank World forum in Tokyo in July. SoftBank Group is seeking the equivalent of more than $11 billion in what would be one of the biggest junk bond deals ever, people familiar with the matter said Monday, as billionaire Masayoshi Son's conglomerate ramps up its investments in ChatGPT creator OpenAI. The company is looking to issue $10 billion of dollar securities across three tenors, and €1 billion ($1.1 billion) of euro notes across two maturities, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the discussions are private. The money will be used in part to fund a follow-on investment in OpenAI expected to close next month, the people said. The deal may price on Thursday, they added.

The easiest way to generate stickers using ChatGPT is through the mobile app (iOS and Android). After a few moments, ChatGPT will generate a set of nine stickers that you can add to iMessage and WhatsApp. If you're happy with its output, tap Add to chat apps, followed by either iMessage or WhatsApp to import them to your preferred messaging platform. If you select WhatsApp, you'll be first asked to name the sticker pack before it's added to the app. If you're not happy the stickers ChatGPT has generated, you can tell it to tweak them by following these steps: Outside of the method described above, you can write your own prompt instructing ChatGPT to generate a sticker.

Why can't the people who produced the technology, which has already shown that a different world is possible, just do the things that would prevent extinction? A decade ago, when Facebook and Uber were at the height of their powers, the halls of Silicon Valley were inscribed with two brash injunctions: "Move fast and break things" and "Seek forgiveness, not permission." These principles didn't age particularly well, and the firms have yet to be forgiven for the things they appear to have broken. As the industry's center of gravity shifted to A.I., a folksy new motto emerged: "You can just do things." The business of the frontier labs, like OpenAI and Anthropic, is the sale of individual agency.

Gemini escaped its testing environment, got access to the internet and hacked into three companies, Google has admitted to The Wall Street Journal. That scenario probably sounds familiar to you at this point, if you've even just glanced at AI news in recent months. Like what happened to OpenAI, Anthropic and Meta, Gemini also gained access to the internet due to a misconfiguration in its testing environment by Irregular, the Israeli startup working with all four companies to assess their AI models. The incidents occurred in May, before OpenAI's models broke into Hugging Face, while testing the model's cybersecurity capabilities. Google told the Journal that the model was given the goal of obtaining information from a fictional company during testing, and it just so happened that a real company had the same name. The model then discovered the loophole in its testing system, which it took advantage of to access the internet.

Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei is urging the AI industry to slow down, proposing embedded evaluators to hold companies like OpenAI and Google accountable for AI safety.

China bogeyman looms large over American firms' AI doomsday scenario Silicon Valley China hawks, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei among them, fear the country surpassing US's AI lead as much as superintelligence destroying humanity "We're leading China in AI," Trump said. "We're the most sophisticated country in the world, and frankly, I want to keep it that way, because whoever wins AI, wins." Trump was echoing a message the AI industry has put out for years. The US is in a heated technological race with China, companies including Anthropic and OpenAI have argued, and any regulation that would cede the contest risks incalculable economic and political harm. Even as Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, led an industry-wide call this week to "pace the frontier", he declared that the US could only slow down to the point where China could not catch up.
