Critics of the doomsayers, meanwhile, are becoming more outspoken. Yann LeCun, chief AI scientist at Meta, recently said it was "preposterous" to believe that an AI could threaten humanity. Rather, intelligent machines would stimulate a second Renaissance in learning and help us tackle climate change and cure diseases. "There's no question that we'll have machines assisting us that are smarter than us. And the question is: is that scary, or is that exciting? I think it's exciting because those machines will be doing our bidding," he told the Financial Times. "They will be under our control."
