The guest on the program *Ptám se já* is Ondřej Vaněk, the head of AI at CTU (Czech Technical University), who until recently served as Chief AI Officer at the company Adastra.
According to Jensen Huang, CEO of the US chipmaker Nvidia, warnings that the development of artificial intelligence could lead to the extinction of the human race in the near future are exaggerated. He made this statement yesterday in an interview with the American news network CBS News.
He was responding to a wave of warnings recently issued by some AI researchers. They fear that the rapid development of this technology could lead to the extinction of the human race in the not-too-distant future.
In recent weeks, significant attention has been drawn to Jacob Coxon, a researcher at Anthropic, who decided to leave both the company and the AI field entirely. According to him, people working in AI development "genuinely believe that AI could kill us all by the end of this decade."
Nvidia CEO Huang dismissed such predictions, stating they "lack a scientific basis." He also suggested that such calls are driven by companies seeking to evade responsibility for the potential consequences of their AI products.
Nevertheless, calls to slow down AI development and implement stricter regulation have come from developers, some technology companies themselves, and many world leaders. In contrast, former US President Donald Trump, for instance, has described efforts to restrict the technology as perverse and dismissed concerns about rapid AI development as a "hoax."
