Why the Creator of Apple's Siri Isn't Worried About Artificial Intelligence Becoming Too Smart

As artificial intelligence grows smarter, the debate rages on about if--or when--its abilities will eventually surpass us. At least one person in the tech world isn't worried about the prospect of robot overlords: Adam Cheyer, co-founder of Siri, the voice assistant company that Apple acquired in 2010. Speaking at South by Southwest on March 11, Cheyer summarized Google Brain founder Andrew Ng: Worrying about A.I. becoming too smart right now is like worrying about overpopulation on Mars. "We're barely at the beginning of A.I.," Cheyer said. "There's nothing to even be done yet."
