AI expert says the builders, not the technology, are the real risk
Original: Interview: AI is not the threat. It's the people building it "that are the existential risks to humanity." "If a bridge
In an interview drawing wide attention, a researcher argues that artificial intelligence itself is not an existential threat to humanity; the real danger lies in the people developing and deploying it. Using the analogy of a collapsing bridge, he argues we never ask whether a bridge was 'uncontrollable' or 'unethical', and that AI should be judged the same way, as a product of human design choices rather than an autonomous menace.
Why now: The argument reframes AI risk debates away from runaway machines and toward human responsibility, striking a chord in ongoing discussions about AI safety and accountability.
