'AI Pioneer Dismisses Tech Fears: Resistance is Futile'

Jürgen Schmidhuber, known as the "father of AI," believes fears over the technology are misplaced and there is no stopping artificial intelligence's progress. He argues that developing AI-powered tools for good purposes will counter bad actors using the technology. Schmidhuber also said that concerns over AI are misplaced and that AI will exceed human intelligence and ultimately benefit people as they use the AI systems. Other tech leaders and experts have sounded the alarm that the powerful technology poses risks to humanity, but Schmidhuber believes that pausing AI research at labs is "utterly unrealistic."
