  "account": "Swedish tech CEO Anton Osika invoked a Cold War-era essay by C.S. Lewis to reassure the public against fears of an AI-induced apocalypse. In an X post on Saturday, Osika shared Lewis's 1948 essay, \"On Living in an Atomic Age,\" which argues that people should not let the prospect of catastrophe overshadow ordinary life. The essay emphasizes that even if atomic bombs were to destroy us, they should not dominate our minds and ways of living. Osika highlighted that atomic bombs may break our bodies, but they need not dominate our minds, suggesting that we should focus on doing sensible and human things even in the face of existential threats. This message came amid growing concerns over AI's potential to cause an extinction-level event, reigniting debates over the safety and regulation of advanced AI systems.",
