Regarding possible risks and regulation, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a hot issue of discussion for everyone in the sector.
AI is harder to govern than a nuclear power plant, according to Romesh Wadhwani, Chairman of Symphony AI.
Warning From Leading AI Specialists
Aayush Ailawadi, editor of Tech Today, and Wadhwani spoke about how artificial intelligence is much more dangerous than a nuclear power plant.
Speaking of the recent 22-word warning from leading AI specialists, such as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, the ‘Godfather of AI’ Geoffrey Hinton, and others, who claim that risks from AI can bring extinction on a scale comparable to that caused by pandemics or nuclear war.
Wadhani thinks they have the right to raise the alarm all across the world.
He added that the situation would be worse than Chernobyl if appropriate safeguards were not put in place for Artificial Intelligence.
He continues, “It takes an investment of $5 billion or $10 billion to establish a nuclear plant in the first place, which carries the potential risk of a future meltdown. A $10 million investment is needed to create dangerous Artificial Intelligence.

President Biden Raises Concerns Over Artificial Intelligence
Meanwhile, in his most pointed warning to date on the rising concerns about Artificial Intelligence, President Joe Biden on Thursday heightened concerns of scientists who claim artificial intelligence could overtake human reasoning.
At his talk to Air Force Academy graduates in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Biden brought up AI when discussing the rapid advancement of technology that he claimed could alter the character of upcoming wars.
In a public statement released on Tuesday, hundreds of scientists, tech industry executives, and public figures, including the heads of Google, Microsoft, and ChatGPT, raised concerns about artificial intelligence.
They claimed that the rapidly developing technology could pose an even greater threat to humankind’s survival than nuclear war and pandemics like COVID-19.
Biden met at the White House with the CEOs of top Artificial Intelligence firms, including Google, Microsoft, and OpenA, to propose changes that would guarantee Artificial Intelligence technologies are secure before being made available to the general public.
Furthermore, the so-called “Godfather of AI,” Geoffrey Hinton, resigned from his position as a Google vice president last month so that he could talk openly about his worries that surprisingly quick advancements would imperil the human species.
Others criticized Hinton’s evaluation as being excessive and unjustified.
