Artificial intelligence has a one in four chance of wiping out humanity, a leading technology boss has warned.
Dario Amodei of AI researchers Anthropic said the technology would destroy the world by going rogue or being abused by humans.
He added: “(The) chance of something going catastrophically wrong on the scale of human civilization could be 10 to 25 percent.”
But he told the Logan Bartlett Show tech podcast: ‘If we can avoid the downsides, then this stuff about curing cancer, extending human lifespan, solving problems like mental illness… I don’t think that this is beyond the scope of what this can do.”
