Google CEO warns of profound impact of AI acceleration on society.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has called for new regulations to govern AI, admitting that society will need to prepare for rapid advancements in artificial intelligence that are poised to unsettle the job market and exacerbate safety concerns. Pichai said advanced artificial intelligence was mostly to cause job losses among so-called “knowledge workers,” such as writers, accountants, architects and software engineers. Meanwhile, Google is scrambling to develop its own fledgling chatbot, “Bard,” to keep pace in the emerging market. The debate over AI safety has intensified in recent days due to the runaway success of Microsoft-backed OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
