Center for AI Safety says the global priority should be the risk of extinction by AI

Per NPR

As artificial intelligence becomes more popular by the day, with both regular users and industries paying attention to it, the Center for AI Safety has shared its thoughts on the matter. Per the nonprofit, the global priority at the moment should be the risk of extinction from AI.

The statement was given by Mary Louise Kelly, the host of All Tech Considered, who was joined by NPR tech reporter Bobby Allyn. Kelly shared the statement with Allyn, and the NPR tech reporter commented, "It doesn't get more doomsday than extinction by AI."

"More than 300 executives, researchers and engineers working on AI issued a dire statement today. It is just one sentence long, and it reads, mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war."

Allyn shared how the situation at hand made him feel like everything was just a "Black Mirror" episode. He then said that the statement was signed by people he described as the "notable serious people in the AI world," which reportedly included Sam Altman.

Recently, a study conducted by Revelio Labs showed that AI would be replacing jobs that were mostly held by women at risk. The jobs that were identified to bge replaced by AI reportedly included bill and account collectors, payroll clerks, and executive secretaries.

It was also noted that artificial intelligence would be replacing jobs across other fields from screenwriters to financial advisors.

In other related news, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang shared that he believes that AI means that all users need to do is to speak to a computer program in order to become a computer programmer. This comes as technologies like ChatGPT make it easy for regular people with no experience in coding to ask for lines of code to copy and paste instead of typing it up themselves.
