AI researcher Timnit Gebru says in a Wired interview that she does not believe artificial intelligence poses an 'existential threat' to humanity. Gebru, known for her high-profile departure from Google's ethics team and criticism of the AI industry, argues the focus on hypothetical doom distracts from present-day harms. Her remarks are drawing attention within AI ethics debates.
