AI and Human Extinction: Is There a Risk?

In a 28-minute video, tech industry leaders discuss the need for governments to regulate artificial intelligence (AI) without hindering innovation. While the AI revolution is happening rapidly, there are concerns about the technology’s potential to replace human jobs and undermine democracies. Governments worldwide are considering codes of conduct and regulations to address these risks and harness AI’s power for good. The video features presenter Mohammed Jamjoom and guests David Krueger, an assistant professor at the University of Cambridge who helped develop the Statement on AI Risk, Sarah Myers West, managing director of the AI Now Institute, and Ramesh Srinivasan, professor of information studies at the University of California and founder of research group Digital Cultures Lab.
