Top economists and tech chiefs warned that AI could become dramatically more powerful over the next decade, bringing significant risks, widespread job displacement, and opportunities, such as higher living standards.
A statement titled "We Must Act Now" was signed by nearly 200 experts, including 15 Nobel laureates, the chief economists of OpenAI and Anthropic, former Alphabet Inc.
(NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google CEO Eric Schmidt, Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark, and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla.
The statement warned that the transformation driven by this development could surpass the Industrial Revolution in scale while unfolding at a much faster pace.
It could create significant economic gains and higher living standards, but also pose risks such as widespread job displacement.
