AI's real risk lies with its builders, says new interview
Original: Interview: AI is not the threat. It's the people building it "that are the existential risks to humanity." "If a bridge
A new interview argues that artificial intelligence itself is not the existential threat to humanity; the danger comes from the people building it. The speaker compares AI to infrastructure like bridges, saying that when a bridge collapses no one asks whether the bridge was uncontrollable or unethical, and that AI should be judged the same way. The remarks frame AI risk as a question of human accountability and engineering standards rather than runaway machines.
Why now: The striking framing that AI is not itself dangerous but that its developers are resonates amid ongoing debate over AI safety and regulation.
