A pioneer of modern AI says the world may be racing toward a form of machine intelligence humanity is not prepared to control. Speaking in a new Bloomberg interview, Geoffrey Hinton – often called the “Godfather of AI” for his foundational work in neural networks – says the industry’s rapid progress and competitive dynamics are pushing developers toward systems that could surpass human capabilities. He says Big Tech is creating an alien race that has the potential to be far more intelligent than humans, and they are coming within a decade. “Suppose that some telescope had seen an alien invasion…

Elon Musk says AI may deliver one of the most dramatic economic shifts in human history, believing the technology can potentially eradicate poverty once and for all. In a new episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Elon Musk says rapid automation and robotics will reshape labor markets at breakneck speed, making traditional employment optional as machines take over desk jobs and routine tasks. Musk says that while physical labor will take longer to automate, white-collar roles are already under pressure as AI systems handle information processing, communications and cognitive workflows once reserved for humans. “Anything that is not doing physical…
A major Wall Street bank believes Apple is approaching a pivotal moment in its AI rollout, signaling that iPhone users may soon see a sweeping upgrade to Siri’s intelligence and capabilities. In a new CNBC interview, securities analyst Wamsi Mohan says Apple’s next phase of device upgrades will hinge on AI, noting that consumers don’t need annual revolutionary features to upgrade—only meaningful improvements over multi-year cycles. Mohan also believes that Apple has a long runway to get its AI program right. “I think that period of time actually is quite large. If they were to extend this out for three…
A top tech strategist says the AI arms race between the US and China is setting up an unusually favorable climate for American mega-cap tech. In a new interview on the Schwab Network, Wedbush’s global head of tech research says global AI investment cycles are accelerating, with Asia demand signaling a multi-year wave of infrastructure and software upgrades. Ives says the scenario is akin to early-stage adoption and supply-constrained innovation, indicating that the AI push has a long way to go. “Investors right now are underestimating the scale and scope of the AI revolution. Look, I was just gone a…
A leading voice in artificial intelligence says AI’s future may be powerful, but nowhere near replacing humanity’s greatest thinkers. In a new conversation with entrepreneur Peter H. Diamandis, Stanford computer science professor and AI godmother Dr. Fei-Fei Li says that while AI systems already outperform humans in narrow domains, they are still far from matching the breakthroughs of history’s towering intellectuals. She says AI may be superhuman in scale and speed, but not in its conceptual insight. “First of all, some part of today’s AI is already better than any human. For example, AI’s ability to speak many different languages,…
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is being heralded as either the Messiah or the doom-bringer for humans and society. On one hand, experts say AI will advance humanity to a point where diseases will be cured and people will live carefree lives as work becomes a choice. On the other hand, they argue that AI will take over jobs and drive society toward a future where the divide between the haves and the have-nots becomes as wide as the Grand Canyon. This post breaks down AI in plain English, illuminating the machinery behind the buzz so you can decide whether Silicon…
A veteran tech investor says the AI cycle has little in common with the dot-com era, noting that capital returns and infrastructure usage all point to a durable boom rather than a speculative blow-off. In a new discussion hosted by a16z general partner David George, Atreides Management CIO Gavin Baker says today’s AI buildout is vastly different from the 2000 internet mania. Baker first highlights the extremes of the internet speculation two decades ago, in contrast to today’s valuation environment. “I do not believe we’re in an AI bubble today. I had depending on how you look at it, the…
xAI and Tesla founder Elon Musk says the United States has no other peaceful option than to turn to AI and robotics to address its swelling national debt. In a new interview with podcaster Joe Rogan, the richest man on the planet says the US is past the point where traditional cost-cutting and incremental reform will be enough to stabilize government finances. Musk warns that the US must regulate and adopt AI and robotics quickly to avoid a situation where it is forced to subjugate other countries to keep its finances under control. “This is crazy. So even if you…
Billionaire investor Mark Cuban warns that China is deploying an AI policy that can dangerously shape how the American public thinks. In a new post on X, Cuba notes that fears over TikTok will pale in comparison to what could happen if China wins the race by building the most widely adopted AI systems. He says the real danger isn’t just technological supremacy, but the influence that could come with Chinese-built models becoming the foundation for developers, applications and everyday digital behavior in the United States. “If you thought TikTok was a manipulative [platform], you ain’t seen nothing like a…
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he’s had enough of critics questioning the sustainability of the AI giant’s $13 billion revenue against its $1.4 trillion spending commitments. In a new interview with Brad Gerstner on the Bg2 Pod, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman defends the company’s aggressive spending posture and future growth path, arguing that the market continues to underestimate the scale of value creation ahead. He says the company is generating much more revenue than what headlines suggest and that demand for OpenAI shares is insatiable. “First of all. We’re doing well more revenue than that. Second of all, Brad,…
