Artificial Intelligence: "With a 75 percent probability, exactly this is going to happen: The bubble will burst"

Stuart Russell, a prominent artificial intelligence researcher, has been teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, for 40 years. He co-authored the influential textbook "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach", used by over 1500 universities. Russell has shifted from being a technology optimist to a critic, warning about the risks of AI.

He believes AI could become a threat if not developed correctly, and criticizes current regulations. Russell draws a parallel between ensuring AI safety and preventing nuclear accidents.
