Losing control of artificial intelligence (AI) is the biggest concern around the computer science, the Technology Secretary has said.
Michelle Donelan said a Terminator-style scenario was a “potential area” where AI development could lead but “there are several stages before that”.
We are still a long way from any sort of AGI from dystopian science fiction. But “AI” can still be very unintelligent but still be potentially very dangerous, and the sort hyperbolic doom mongering that keeps coming up in this discussions is distracting from that.
