Andrew Ng Calls AI Extinction Fears 'Science Fiction'

Original: Andrew Ng: AI Extinction Fears Are 'Science Fiction'

AI researcher and Coursera co-founder Andrew Ng dismissed warnings that artificial intelligence could drive humanity to extinction, describing such fears as 'science fiction'. The remarks have reignited debate between AI safety advocates, who argue catastrophic risk deserves serious attention, and pragmatists like Ng who say alarmism distracts from concrete near-term harms such as bias, job displacement and misuse.

Why now: Prominent AI figures publicly clashing over existential risk keeps the AI safety debate in the spotlight.
