No, AI isn't going to kill us all, despite what this new book says

No, AI isn't going to kill us all, despite what this new book says In the totality of human existence, there are an awful lot of things for us to worry about. Money troubles, climate change and finding love and happiness rank highly on the list for many people, but for a dedicated few, one concern rises above all else: that artificial intelligence will eventually destroy the human race. Eliezer Yudkowsky at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI) in California has been proselytising this cause for a quarter of a century, to a small if dedicated following. Then we entered the ChatGPT era, and his ideas on AI safety were thrust into the mainstream, echoed by tech CEOs and politicians alike. Writing with Nate Soares, also at MIRI, is Yudkowsky's attempt to distil his argument into a simple, easily digestible message that will be picked up across society.
