At Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK-A, BRK-B) annual shareholder meeting, Warren Buffett spoke on a variety of topics, including concerns about AI. The CEO compared the dangers of AI's potential misuse to the dangers of nuclear weapons.
IBM (IBM) CEO Arvind Krishna joins Yahoo Finance Anchor Brian Sozzi and Akiko Fujita at Milken Global Institute's annual conference and agrees with Warren Buffett's stance on AI We discussed why not.
Krishna dismisses the danger: “I don't really have that fear. So I put it in black and white. As we've seen with a lot of technology, a lot of people make assumptions. I think the rate of progress has increased 100 times in the last three or four years, so it will probably increase another 100 to 1000 times. It takes this much infrastructure and power to double. It's a bit fanciful to keep predicting that it's going to continue on an exponential curve.”

Warren Buffett seemed concerned at his annual meeting, talking about how the AI genie was coming out of the bottle. I love them all. Without nagging me, please tell me about my large bank balance. got it. Are you worried about AI being too powerful? And what are the risks posed by AII? In reality, there is no such fear. So I'm making a black and white decision. I think there are many people who have a hypothesis. And as we've seen with many technologies, this rate, which has increased 100 times over the last three to four years, will increase another 100 to 1000 times. However, in order to increase the current AI by 100 to 1000 times, we need this much infrastructure and power. How much more will it be? Infrastructure and power? I think it's a little bit. I use the word fanciful because I continue to predict that it will continue in an exponential curve. I think it will be widely adopted. I think it will be used by millions of people across hundreds of processes. But I'm a little skeptical that it will reach this level of superintelligence.
