Nvidia chief Jensen Huang has rejected fears that artificial intelligence could ultimately cause human extinction, describing those concerns as “doomsday narratives”.
His comments came after warnings from AI researchers that the rapid development of the technology could pose an existential threat to humanity. The debate reflects continuing disagreement over how seriously the most extreme potential risks from artificial intelligence should be treated.
The material supplied does not include further details of Mr Huang’s remarks, the researchers who issued the warnings or any specific measures proposed in response. The latest position presented is that Nvidia’s boss does not accept the extinction scenarios described by some AI researchers.
