A Big-Tech defector’s AI warning for the world
AI bosses are urging a global slowdown amid fears the race to develop the technology could outstrip humanity’s ability to control it.
In the past week, AI bosses around the world have suddenly grown a conscience – urging a global slowdown amid fears the race to develop artificial intelligence could outstrip humanity’s ability to control it.
For Dex Hunter-Torricke, that realisation came a little sooner. The “big-tech” insider walked away last year, disillusioned, after spending 15 years inside “the belly of the beast”.
He wrote speeches for Mark Zuckerberg at Facebook, worked with Elon Musk at SpaceX, and most recently helped Google DeepMind explain the rise of artificial intelligence to the world.
Now Hunter-Torricke says society is making the same mistakes with AI as it did in the social media era – sleepwalking into what comes next.
