A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 61% of Americans view artificial intelligence (AI) as a threat to humanity, with only 22% feeling otherwise and 17% unsure. The negative perception of AI may be due to years of movies depicting doomsday scenarios involving advanced AI. Despite this, companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are racing to bring generative AI to the public. Billionaire investor Warren Buffet has likened the AI arms race to the development of the atomic bomb and has expressed concerns about the potential dangers of AI. OpenAI co-founders Elon Musk and Sam Altman have also voiced similar concerns and called for regulation and public education to ensure safety standards are followed.
