Leading AI expert delays timeline for its possible destruction of humanity
A leading artificial intelligence expert has rolled back his timeline for AI doom, saying it will take longer than he initially predicted for AI systems to be able to code autonomously and thus speed their own development toward superintelligence.
Daniel Kokotajlo, a former employee of OpenAI, sparked an energetic debate in April by releasing AI 2027, a scenario that envisions unchecked AI development leading to the creation of a superintelligence, which – after outfoxing world leaders – destroys humanity.
As we've always had to cope with major acts of human destruction, it may not be a high bar for AI to achieve.

Constant official harassment over environmental issues for example, what level of destruction is this likely to bring? Will AI make it far worse than anything the Greens can achieve alone?

Whichever we slice it ... it ain't good, AKH.
As long as my shares 10x in the next 5 to 10 years due to AI then I'll be happy.
"A leading artificial intelligence expert has rolled back his timeline for AI doom" thereby extending the issuing of his pay cheques while he looks for alternative scaremongering tactics to sell to the MSM.
It would be ironic if AI developed a cure for cancer - but there was no-one left to benefit from the cure.
James - it certainly ain't good. Starmer may go, but his replacement may be no better.
Anon - that's positive thinking.
Jannie - yes, life is becoming harder for doomsters. AI may put them out of business too.
DJ - and almost as ironic, there would be no-one left to know how ironic it was.
The fool. He asked the question of his most advanced AI program , or app, And of course the answer was cunningly worded to lead him, and all of gullible humanity, into a false sense of security
He seems to have adopted his password as his name. Verry cunning.
The Green Monster iIS destroying us. The Millibrain is obviously an AI construct
Doonhamer - that's why the Millibrain construct gagged on a bacon sandwich, it had overdone the environmental training such as images of lions chewing the tough bits of wildebeest.
