AI Artificial intelligence has begun to have a significant impact on human beings. This is now a fact. However, with the development of AI, greater impact will gradually occur. In the face of AI, the 8 billion people in the world can basically be divided into two categories. One believes that AI can bring help, and the other believes that AI will bring destruction. Silicon Valley technology giants also have the latter faction, and many people even advocate the doomsday theory of AI.
However, in the view of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, those who exaggerate this kind of AI doomsday theory are too ridiculous. He even named Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, as well as Tesla and xAI CEO Musk in his blog recently.
Amodei previously predicted that AI will replace 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs in the next few years. Musk’s statement was even more exaggerated, directly saying that AI has a 20% probability of destroying mankind. Huang Renxun criticized their statement as absurd and unhelpful.
Huang Renxun believes that as industry leaders, opinions on AI should be based on factual discussions and should not spread panic.
Why are people like Amodei and Musk so keen on spreading the idea that AI will replace or even destroy humans? Huang Renxun also pointed out that Some CEOs now have a God complex and believe that they are omnipotent and omniscient.
I have to say that Huang Renxun’s evaluation is indeed too accurate. Do industry leaders like Amodei and Musk really believe that AI will destroy mankind? Not necessarily, but they need to create this kind of panic atmosphere, and then create the feeling that only they or their own company can save everyone. In the final analysis, they just want to use everyone's panic to create a god for themselves and the company, and make money.
If you have paid attention to Anthropic CEO Amodei and OpenAI in the past two years, With the words and deeds of CEO Altman, Musk and others, you will find that they often brag that their large models have achieved 80% or even complete AGI. However, the impact of releasing it is huge, taking advantage of everyone's panic about AI technology. Huang Renxun's evaluation of asking them not to regard themselves as gods is too accurate.
In contrast, Huang Renxun’s attitude towards AI is much more realistic. He also admits that AI will replace some people’s jobs, but has also repeatedly stated that AI will create new demands and new job opportunities. Even less high-tech jobs such as plumbers and electricians can also benefit from opportunities such as data center construction.
Huang Renxun previously said that everyone should be able to live a good life, and you don’t need a PhD in computer science to do it.
