Summary
Microsoft's president and vice-chairman, Brad Smith, warns that AI has the potential to become both a tool and a weapon. He emphasizes the need for human control to ensure that AI remains subject to oversight and can be slowed down or turned off if necessary. Tech leaders around the world have expressed concerns about the risks of AI, particularly after the popularity of generative AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT. The explosive growth of AI also raises concerns about job displacement, but Smith argues that AI is a tool that supplements human work rather than replacing jobs. IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvind Krishna, adds that AI can augment white-collar jobs and contribute to economic growth.
