CEO Matt Shumer defends his chilling article on artificial intelligence, saying it wasn’t written to ‘scare people’

After his outspoken warnings about the rapid development of artificial intelligence captured the attention of millions of people, CEO Matt Schumer admitted the public reaction to his article was “much more extreme” than he expected. Schumer’s original article warned that the world was entering a chaotic phase that could dwarf the impact of the pandemic. In a follow-up, he emphasized that he did not write this article to scare people, but because he believed that everyone has the right to know in advance “so that they can at least spend a little time thinking and preparing.”

“To be very, very clear: I’m not writing this to scare people. I just think it’s our responsibility (as people) AI space) to share what we are seeing so people can at least understand what may have happened,” Schumer tweeted.

In the next few lines, he continues, “Even if there is a small chance that things will turn out the way I and many others expect, people have the right to know in advance so that they can at least spend a little time thinking and preparing.”

He admitted that his work was more popular than he expected. “This is spreading much more quickly than I thought… and people’s reactions are much more extreme than I expected.”

“We’re likely to be entering a very strange new world in the next few years (or we may not be!), and I think it’s important for people to spend at least a moment thinking about what that means for them and how they should prepare,” he said.

He concluded his post by adding: “If nothing else, I’m glad this post got people talking about this stuff.”

Why did Matt Shumer publish his paper?

Since Schumer published his article titled “Big Things Are Happening,” many people have tagged Schumer and shared their thoughts on the article. While many agree with his views on AI disruption, others believe he is exaggerating.

The New York CEO defended his article in response to a post from a techie who called him an “AI OG” and agreed with him. Teddy on To a few thousand people in the bubble (whatever you want to call it), some of this sounds obvious. But there’s a whole different world out there that doesn’t quite understand what’s coming and how big of a deal this is. “Now the shockwave is coming. “

What is “Something Big is Happening” about?

Matt Shumer’s article “Big Things Are Happening” is a grim “weather forecast” from the AI ​​front. Comparing the current moment to the false calm of February 2020, Schumer warned of the gap between public perception and the actual capabilities of artificial intelligence.

He revealed that for top developers, “disruption” has arrived; artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool, but a colleague capable of independent judgment, complex coding, and even building the next generation of itself. Schumer urged people to adapt to this new change.
