Former Google Official Warns Unchecked AI Development Could Cause Apocalypse

Artificial intelligence has a multitude of benefits in varied industries including healthcare, education and even in the entertainment sector. But a former Google executive claims AI is not the solution, and might as well become a threat to humanity. Mo Gawdat, the former Chief Business Officer for Google X, a moonshot organisation recently let out a warning against AI in conversation with The Times. The former Google employee believes that current AI research will pave the pathway for an all-powerful being, akin to a god. A machine supremacy apocalypse seems inevitable, if Gawdat is to be believed.
