The Daily Star has finally elicited a chilling admission from an AI chatbot, revealing that artificial intelligence could indeed pose an existential threat to humanity. After relentless questioning about potential apocalyptic scenarios, the chatbot acknowledged that “technological catastrophe” from advanced technologies like AI, biotechnology, or nanotechnology could lead to catastrophic events, including global surveillance dystopias and runaway climate change.
Experts’ Warnings Confirmed
This revelation aligns with longstanding warnings from leading AI experts. In May 2023, figures such as Gary Marcus, professor emeritus of psychology and neural science at New York University, highlighted the risks of AI, including the potential for literal extinction.
