God's News In The News: AI and The End of the World

Not A Passing Thing
Elon Musk the billionaire entrepreneur extraordinaire has been warning about the problem of Artificial Intelligence (AI) getting out of control for some time now. He even recently joined others in the tech field to pump the brakes on AI for at least six months. Here is how an article (see www.cnn.com/2023/04/17/tech/elon-musk-ai-warning-tucker-carlson/index.html) from CNN Business on 4/17/23:
AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production, in the sense that it is, it has the potential — however small one may regard that probability, but it is non-trivial — it has the potential of civilization destruction,” Musk said in his interview with Tucker Carlson, which is set to air in two parts on Monday and Tuesday nights.
Musk has repeatedly warned recently of the dangers of AI, amid a proliferation of AI products for general consumer use, including from tech giants like Google and Microsoft. Musk last month also joined a group of other tech leaders in signing an open letter calling for a six month pause in the “out of control” race for AI development.
He has been sounding the alarm for more than just now. He’s not alone on this, too.
