Artificial Intelligence: "With 75 percent probability exactly this will happen: The bubble will burst"
Stuart Russell has written the most influential AI textbook. He explains why the technology could soon replace top managers as well - and when it becomes an existential threat.
Stuart Russell, a world-renowned expert in Artificial Intelligence (AI), is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. For the past 40 years, he has shaped the debate on the opportunities and risks associated with this technology. Russell co-authored one of the most important textbooks in the field, "Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach," which is used at over 1500 universities.
In an interview on the DLD conference in Munich, he discussed why he has shifted from being an AI optimist to a cautionary voice, why he believes the current regulations are misguided, and his assessment of the risk of AI losing control. Russell does not consider himself a "skeptic," but rather acknowledges that AI could become so powerful that it could become a threat, unless it is developed correctly.
He likens this to the need for safeguards in atomic reactors, emphasizing the importance of responsible development.
