I like some of his movies but this article reads like someone who just imagined his worst fears, and with no ability to judge if it's probable or not.
The AI would turn off the worlds money system? What?
He's in his 80s. He's reached the point of the story where the old man shouts at clouds.
Yeah seems like it.
So you know enough about AI to know that worrying about something like "turning off the world's money" isn't possible? What's your career?
I'm not worried. What's your career?
You fool you’re replying to an AI!
You don't need to know anything about AI to know that. Just do some basic critical thinking:
Even if AI is perfected, nobody in their right mind would give direct control of these things to an AI. There isn't any reason to. An AI would basically just be another person, but super smart. It could be useful for a lot of things, but their decisions would need to be vetted by humans, and there isn't anything like a "shut it off" switch that exists as it is.
