Really? Palantir cofounder on AI's threat: 'We’re on top of it’
Hysteria over the AI threat has reached a boiling point. Palantir cofounder Joe Lonsdale, however, says the "world is going to alright, guys."
Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of Palantir, expressed optimism about artificial intelligence (AI) on Sunday, stating that everything is going to be alright. His comments came after top AI leaders warned about the potential grave risks that advanced AI systems could pose, including the possibility of mass human extinction. Despite these concerns, Lonsdale dismissed the worry by posting on social media that the world is going to be alright.
He emphasized that leaders have significant responsibilities and challenges ahead, but it doesn't help to scare everyone unnecessarily. Lonsdale further stated that they are on top of it, suggesting that the potential risks are manageable and unlikely enough to calm the nerves of a population that has been repeatedly told AI could take control and cause untoward things.
