MIT Technology Review hosted a live Roundtables event for subscribers on Wednesday addressing the question of whether artificial intelligence could pose an existential threat to humanity, according to the publication. The 30-minute session, titled “Could AI really kill us all?”, attracted significant subscriber interest.
According to MIT Technology Review, attendees submitted far more questions than the brief session could accommodate. In response to the overwhelming interest, the publication’s senior AI editor Will Douglas Heaven was tasked with addressing additional questions that went unanswered during the live event. The publication did not provide details about the specific topics covered during the discussion or the nature of the follow-up questions received.
