    “I believe there’s about a 50% chance we all die because of the development of smarter-than-human AI systems, and that our actions over the next two to 10 years will determine the outcome.”

    There are a gargantuan number of extremely intelligent AI researchers and Turing Award winners saying the same thing. They are the ones closest to understanding the technology.

    Where there’s smoke there’s fire.

      There are just as many saying otherwise. For every Hinton or Bengio there's a LeCun or Reddy. In other words: Beware of confirmation bias.
