The 'godmother of AI' says stop worrying about an AI apocalypse
Briefly

"I [worry] about the overhyping of human extinction risk. I think that is blown out of control," Li told Bloomberg's Emily Cheng during Bloomberg Technology Summit Thursday.
"It belongs to the world of sci-fi," she said. "There's nothing wrong about pondering about all this, but compared to the other, actual social risks - whether it's the disruption of disinformation and misinformation to our democratic process, or, you know, the kind of labor market shift or [privacy] issues - these are true social risks that we have to face because they impact real people's real life."
"There's so many ways we can use this to make people's life better, work better," she said. "I don't think we give enough voices to people who are actually out there, in the most imaginary way, creative way of trying to bring good to the world using AI."
