OpenAI CEO Warns of Terrifying AI 'Doom' Risk

Emmett Shear, the new CEO of OpenAI, has expressed concerns about the dangers of artificial intelligence (AI), stating that it is "intrinsically dangerous" and poses a threat of causing "doom" to humanity. Shear believes that as AI becomes smarter and self-improving, it could quickly surpass human control, leading to potentially catastrophic consequences. His views align with those of his predecessor, Sam Altman, who has warned about the risk of AI on par with nuclear weapons and pandemics. Altman, Shear, and other experts have called for global prioritization of mitigating AI risks.
