"I like to say I'm the most boring speaker in AI these days because precisely my disappointment is the hyperbole on both sides,"
"We've got the total extinction, doomsday, and all that talk about AI will ruin humanity, machine overlord,"
"The world's population, especially those who are not in Silicon Valley, need to hear the facts, need to hear what this truly is,"
"Yet that kind of discourse, that kind of communication, that kind of public education is not as good as I hope it is."
Current AI rhetoric is overly dramatic, swinging between extinction-level doomsday scenarios and utopian claims of post-scarcity and infinite productivity. Such hyperbole misinforms people outside tech hubs and undermines public education about what AI truly is. Clear, balanced, evidence-based communication about AI capabilities, limitations, and societal effects is necessary to inform policy and public understanding. Leading AI figures emphasize that expectations around artificial general intelligence have been overstated and call for moderated messaging. Accurate public messaging can reduce fear and unrealistic optimism while supporting responsible deployment and societal preparedness.
