Experts Warn that Artificial Intelligence Could End Human Species

Tech industry leaders, scientists and professors issued a new warning with regard to the risks associated with artificial intelligence. 

"Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war," the statement shared by the Center for AI Safety read. 

The statement said that while experts in the field, policymakers, journalists and the public are increasingly discussing risks from the technology, it "can be difficult to voice concerns about some of advanced AI’s most severe risks."
