More than 350 industry executives, experts and professors in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) have signed an open letter in which they warn that AI could pose a risk of extinction for humanity.
The letter, published Tuesday on the website of the nonprofit Center for Artificial Intelligence Safety (CAIS), was signed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, and Microsoft and Google executives, etc.
The letter is just one paragraph: “Mitigating the risk of extinction posed by AI should be a global priority, along with other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.”

Since the chatbot ChatGPT started the AI boom, concerns about the technology’s potential risks have continued to grow.
In March of this year, more than 1,000 industry executives and experts, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, signed an open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on the development of advanced AI. Musk and others wrote in the letter that advanced AI may pose profound risks to society and humanity.
The European Union is advancing the “AI Act”, which is expected to become the world’s first comprehensive legislation to regulate AI and will involve the regulation of emerging AI technologies such as ChatGPT.
It is worth mentioning that Altman, the “father of ChatGPT”, said last week that the EU’s AI bill is over-regulated and threatened to withdraw from the European market. This remark was criticized by many European politicians, and Altman then softened his position. Altmann will meet European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday.
In addition, the 4th Ministerial Meeting of the US-EU Trade and Technology Committee (TTC) will be held in Sweden from May 30th to 31st local time.
AI will be one of the key areas of focus, with generative artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT being discussed, according to EU officials.
