These are the world's greatest minds going to war over AI

Silicon Valley is in the midst of a civil war over the advancement of artificial intelligence - with the world's greatest minds split over whether it will destroy or elevate humanity. The growing divide comes after the extraordinary rise of ChatGPT, which has taken the world by storm in recent months, passing leading medical and law exams that take humans nearly three months to prepare. Elon Musk, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and the late Stephen Hawking are among the most famous critics of AI who believe the technology poses a'profound risk to society and humanity' and could have'catastrophic' effects. The tech tycoons on Wednesday called for a pause on the'dangerous race' to advance AI, saying more risk assessment needs to be conducted before humans lose control and it becomes a sentient human-hating species. At this point, AI would have reached singularity, which means it has surpassed human intelligence and has independent thinking. AI would no longer need or listen to humans, allowing it to steal nuclear codes, create pandemics and spark world wars.
