Stuart Russell claims that AI is a “civilization-ending” technology and demands a new strategy. He believes that this technology has the ability to alter the course of history. According to him, technology has the potential to either destroy society or raise living standards for people everywhere. He called on governments to regulate AI to make sure technology serves human interests and for businesses to rethink how they are developing AI at an event on April 5.

Russell stated at the lecture sponsored by the CITRIS Research Exchange and Berkeley AI Research Lab, “Intelligence really means the power to shape the world in your interests, and if you create systems that are more intelligent than humans either individually or collectively then you’re creating entities that are more powerful than us.”
