Andrew Ng Calls AI Extinction Fears 'Science Fiction'
Original: Andrew Ng: AI Extinction Fears Are 'Science Fiction'
AI researcher Andrew Ng has dismissed warnings that artificial intelligence could drive humanity to extinction, describing such fears as 'science fiction'. The comments reignite a familiar divide in the tech world between prominent figures who argue existential risk is overblown and those who treat it as a serious concern. Ng has long argued that focus on distant doomsday scenarios distracts from practical issues like bias, job displacement and regulation of real-world AI systems.
Why now: Ng remains one of the most influential AI voices, and his dismissal of extinction risk reopens a contentious debate among AI researchers and policymakers.
