The fate of humanity hangs in the balance as investors consider the risks and rewards of the AI industry, with the potential for significant growth and returns, but also the possibility of catastrophic consequences.
What happened
The world is bracing for the end of the world in 2029, but investors are eyeing the AI industry as a potential growth opportunity. Anthropic, a leading AI research company, has issued a prospectus warning of potential risks, including AI models exhibiting self-preserving behaviors.
Meanwhile, the White House has signed an accord on 'Super Intelligence' with industry leaders, offering a glimmer of hope for humanity.
