Alphabet CEO: Musk's opinion on AI is completely wrong

According to foreign media reports, Eric Schmidt, CEO of Alphabet, said at the VivaTech conference in Paris on Friday: 'I think that Musk is completely wrong with artificial intelligence. He is concerned that this technology may be abused, and I think so too. But Schmidt said that he himself is more convinced of AI's overwhelming advantage.

Schmidt continues to discuss all the ways that artificial intelligence will benefit humans in health, education, economic and social systems. He said that artificial intelligence will make people smarter, and in the vast majority of cases it will be 'net gain'.

It seems that all major technology companies are increasing their investment in artificial intelligence, which makes Musk one of the few tech company leaders who are skeptical of this technological revolution. Although the technology industry is investigating the potential of artificial intelligence, Ethical issues, and attempts to prevent bias from entering the algorithm, but Schmidt's own feelings reflect the general consensus that, broadly speaking, artificial intelligence is an active technology.

Schmidt’s comments responded to questions raised by Maurice Levy, CEO of advertising company Publicis. On Thursday evening’s show, Levy also questioned Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s comments on artificial intelligence. Zach Berg's response is obviously more cautious.

He said, 'We need to make sure that we don't have too negative of these things. It's easy to point out a technical failure and use it to slow progress... Basically, I think artificial intelligence will bring A lot of benefits. '

At a meeting held at VivaTech on Friday, Schmidt said that Yann Lecun, head of Facebook's artificial intelligence research department, said that he believes it is possible to create machines that are smarter than humans, but this is not something we should worry about. First, Lecun. This may have a long way to go. Second, he does not necessarily think that smart machines will want to dominate humanity.

'I don't think there is a strong positive correlation between intelligence and the desire to dominate,' Lecun said. 'Humans have a desire to dominate because we are social animals and this is not true for machines.'
