Currently, anti-AI sentiment continues to rise across the US. Massive layoffs, the disorderly expansion of data centers, the use of chat software attacks by people with psychological problems, and the proliferation of hacking tools have made cybersecurity practitioners panic. Multiple factors have combined to make a large number of Americans feel disgusted with artificial intelligence. According to a recent Quinnipiac University poll, 70% of American adults think AI will take away human jobs, and 55% believe that artificial intelligence will do more harm than good to their daily lives. But the deepest fear among frontline protesters was even more extreme: artificial intelligence could lead to total human extinction. They are convinced of pessimistic predictions, including the warning from Jeffrey Sinton, the “godfather” of the AI world. The scholar, who won the Nobel Prize for his research on artificial neural networks, suggests that the probability of human extinction due to artificial intelligence is between 10% and 20%.
