Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak dismisses AI concerns raised by the likes of Stephen Hawking and Nick Bostrom

PayPal billionaire Elon Musk, Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates, and renowned scientist Stephen Hawking have called out artificial intelligence (AI) as one of the biggest threats to humanity's very existence. But Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak told Business Insider in an interview this week that he's not concerned about AI. He said he reversed his thinking on AI for several reasons. "One being that Moore's Law isn't going to make those machines smart enough to think really the way a human does," said Wozniak. "Another is when machines can out think humans they can't be as intuitive and say what will I do next and what is an approach that might get me there. These machines might become independent thinkers. But if they do, they're going to be partners of humans over all other species just forever."
