NG: 'I DON'T SEE ANY PLAUSIBLE PATH' TO AI EXTINCTION
“In the case of extinction risk, I just don't get it — I don't see any plausible path for AI to lead to human extinction.”
Ng's written statement submitted ahead of the U.S. Senate AI Insight Forum, September 2023 — opened directly from the Senate PDF. The direct counterweight to the extinction camp (Hinton, the CAIS statement signers). Bonus from the same document: 'I am no more able to prove that AI won't kill us all than prove that radio waves emitted from our planet won't cause space aliens to find us and wipe us out.'
